- Kristin - 16.10.2019 -

The corporate Christmas party - the crowning finale for the entire team to toast together to the past business year. But every year you face the same challenge: What should be done at the Christmas party ? It should be a stylish year-end celebration for the entire company, not a boring mandatory event. Still missing the brilliant idea for your Christmas party? Whether classic, festive or funky, at the office or at a location of your choice – in this article we present 7 ideas that will make your corporate Christmas party a guaranteed hit .


Your Corporate Christmas Party with Live Music

Music is a must at every Christmas party – and all ideas can be combined with music. We have the perfect band for every idea, for every theme and for every company size. Feel free to tell us about your Christmas party plans, we'll be happy to advise you. But first, let's get to our ideas for a special Christmas party!

1. Strolling Together at a Mobile Christmas Market

The scent of mulled wine, fire tongs punch and Christmas delicacies – that creates Christmas atmosphere. Christmas markets are the perfect place to properly ring in the Christmas season. With a larger team, however, a visit to the city's Christmas market can become quite challenging. How about bringing the Christmas market to your own company premises instead? The mobile Christmas market is the optimal opportunity to chat with colleagues in a cozy atmosphere and toast to the past business year with mulled wine and roasted almonds.

2. Gatsby-Style Christmas Party

Dressing up always works, even at Christmas! It's not only fun, but also lightens the mood. How about a little time travel to the glamorous twenties? Feather boas, pearls, cigars and pinstripe suits – a pompous celebration with champagne cocktails! In the Roaring Twenties, not only did alcohol flow abundantly, but there was also exuberant dancing. Perhaps as a special highlight you could study a Charleston choreography together with your colleagues and all put your dancing shoes on the dance floor?

3. A Christmas Party Under Palm Trees

Who doesn't know that wanderlust arises in the cold season and you long for summer, sun, beach and sea? Then the Christmas party under palm trees is exactly the right idea for your company. With a delicious cocktail in hand and sand under your feet, just let your soul unwind – that's pure vacation feeling.

4. Christmas Mystery Dinner

Looking for a Christmas party with an extra dose of excitement? The mystery dinner is not only a special highlight for your upcoming company celebration, but also serves excellently as a team building measure. During a 3-course menu, you must work together to solve a murder case and expose the perpetrator. In addition to the booked actors, selected colleagues, the boss or even the company can be incorporated into the storyline. If you want to separate the mystery and dinner , the crime scene can also be moved to another location. You could chase the perpetrator through the city streets, for example. Afterwards you'll have plenty to talk about during a cozy meal and can review the mystery game.

5. Exclusive Mulled Wine Tasting

The spiced wine is an absolute classic and for many simply belongs at the Christmas party. Our next idea for your Christmas party is therefore an exclusive mulled wine tasting, where employees get to enjoy various mulled wine creations. You can conduct the tasting at a location of your choice. To prevent the mulled wine from going too much to your head, this Christmas event can be excellently combined with a shared dinner.

6. Merry Quiz-Mas

Now it gets tricky: Quiz shows are a popular TV format. So why not make your Christmas party into a quiz show too? At this celebration, no one will definitely be sitting bored in the corner. Set up a small quiz studio at a location of your choice, divide into multiple teams and compete via tablets or smartphones. The Christmas party quiz is not only fun, but also serves very well for team strengthening. We recommend having a moderator guide you through the evening for this program.

7. Live Cooking Instead of Classic Restaurant Visit

A restaurant visit with composed winter menus – the classic for the corporate Christmas party. You generally can't go wrong with this idea. You've decided to go eat together as a team, but want to do this a bit differently? Try live cooking. Watch a chef at work and make your Christmas party into an enjoyable highlight. Maybe you'll even learn a tip or two for your Christmas Eve feast.
