\"Poinsettia<\/a>The office Christmas party is back. Whether you have a lot of employees or just a few, ring in the holiday season this year by holding an event to celebrate a year of hard work. Go beyond the basic office party with one of these corporate Christmas party ideas.<\/p>\n

1. Hawaiian Luau<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throw a Hawaiian luau to get your employee’s minds off of the cold temperatures outside. Decorate a Christmas tree with leis instead of tinsel and silk hibiscus flowers instead of ornaments. Teach employees to hula and limbo.<\/p>\n

\"Penguin<\/a>2. Give Back Party<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrate the spirit of Christmas by holding a “give back” party for your company. Ask employees to bring in items to donate, such as canned goods and winter clothing. Spend part of the party writing Christmas greeting cards<\/a> to people who are ill or lonely during the holidays.<\/p>\n

3. Bowling with Santa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reserve a few lanes at a local bowling alley for this year’s party. Bowling will give people an activity to focus on while they mix and mingle with co-workers. Someone from the company, perhaps the boss, can dress up as Santa and give up small gifts to employees as they bowl.<\/p>\n

4. Cookie Swap<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are looking to hold a low-key, relaxed party, try having a cookie swap. Ask each employee to bake (or buy) a batch of cookies to bring in. During the party, workers can trade cookies and share their Christmas plans.<\/p>\n

5. Fiesta\"Fiesta<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Turn your office Christmas party into a “Feliz Navidad” party. Decorate the office with bright colors, hang a pi\u00f1ata and serve Mexican favorites, such as tacos.<\/p>\n

6. Awards Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your corporate Christmas party is an ideal time to recognize the hard work of employees. Hold an awards show themed party, complete with a red carpet and podium. Give out awards in categories such as “Cleanest Desk” and “Most Sales.”<\/p>\n

7. Casino Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

A casino-themed Christmas party is a great option if you plan on inviting spouses and family to your company party. Set up tables for card games such as blackjack and poker. Use a deck of cards with a Christmas theme to make things extra festive.<\/p>\n

8. Comedy Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your budget is big enough, hire a local comedian to entertain your employees during the Christmas party. You can also purchase tickets for the group to a performance at a nearby club.<\/p>\n
