It’s never too early to start thinking about planning your corporate holiday party. Non-denominational holiday parties are a great way to unite your team and show them how much you’ve appreciated their work throughout the year. Holiday parties can even be a place to present employees with awards, bonuses, or corporate holiday gifts that will make them feel recognized and boost their morale.
But if you’re looking for corporate holiday party themes that will captivate your guests and create an unforgettable event at Tribeca Rooftop + 360° in NYC, we’ve got you covered. Check out these five unique ideas to ignite your creativity and ensure a memorable corporate celebration for your team.
Paws for a Cause: Host a Heartwarming Shelter Pet Party
Who doesn’t love animals? Aside from being cute and affectionate, studies have shown that having a pet helps you live longer and reduce stress. Consider hosting a shelter pet party, where guests can cuddle with rescue dogs and cats – and maybe even adopt one.
Many shelters will allow you to showcase animals at events, and you can even donate to the shelter in your company’s name (and encourage your guests to do so, as well). Hold a silent auction to help raise even more funds for your shelter of choice, or have your employees bring supplies from the shelter’s wish list to gift them for their hard work.
This theme not only brings joy but also promotes giving back to the community, making it a thoughtful and heartwarming option for a corporate event. Your team will love the opportunity to connect with animals and support a good cause.
Celebrate Diversity: A Global-Inspired Corporate Holiday Theme
With workplaces becoming more diverse, a multicultural holiday party is a great way to celebrate your team’s unique backgrounds. Host a global-themed dinner with food stations featuring international cuisines, traditional décor from various countries, and photos showcasing destinations from around the world.
Encourage employees to share stories or traditions from their cultures, helping everyone learn more about one another. For an added incentive, consider giving away a trip to a global destination as a door prize.
This theme fosters inclusivity and encourages cross-cultural appreciation within your team, making everyone feel recognized and valued. Plus, the diverse food and decor will create a vibrant and exciting atmosphere.
Ugly Sweater Showdown: A Fun & Festive Classic
The ugly sweater party has become a modern holiday staple. Invite guests to don their most outrageous holiday sweaters and host a contest for the ugliest one. For those who come unprepared, set up a DIY arts-and-crafts table where guests can create their own ugly sweaters on the spot! Prizes can be awarded for the funniest or most outlandish designs.
This playful and casual theme is perfect for breaking the ice and adding some light-hearted fun to your holiday celebration. Your employees will enjoy showing off their creativity while sharing laughs with colleagues.
Carol-oke: Sing Your Way to Holiday Fun
Something about the holidays makes everyone want to sing, so why not make it your party’s theme and host a holiday song karaoke party? Guests can try their hand at belting out classic holiday tunes and win prizes for different categories, such as best improvisation, worst singing voice, best duet, and more. You can even let guests choose non-denominational songs if they don’t want to sing holiday songs.
Carol-oke not only provides entertainment but also gives employees a chance to showcase their talents and bond over shared music experiences, which is a great way to create lasting memories.
DIY Holiday Magic: Get Crafty with Your Team
Hands-on activities are always a great idea, so what better way to celebrate the holidays than hosting a DIY party? There are plenty of do-it-yourself ideas you can bring to the table at your holiday soiree, including cookie decorating, gingerbread house assembly, ornament decorating, painting your painting, or any other hands-on project your employees can have fun creating in a short period. Plus, they’ll take home their creation at the night’s end! You can even award prizes for the most creative projects.
This theme encourages collaboration and creativity, giving your employees a chance to relax and enjoy some stress-free holiday fun. The personalized crafts make excellent take-home gifts, adding a personal touch to the event.
