If your boss is interested in getting to know his employees, have a Christmas party at his house and have everyone bring a signature dish! Not only will this cut costs, but it will give everyone a chance to learn about each other’s culinary skills, get to see the boss in his home environment, and just generally connect with each other in the midst of festivity. This close and lively sort of party can help everyone to get into the holiday mood.

2. Christmas Tree Dress Up

Bring some holiday cheer to the traditional bridal shower game of dressing up the wedding party in toilet paper by bringing some crepe streamers and festive ornaments to dress up the Christmas tree! This activity can be a lot of laughs, the competition can get people going, and of course it’s great for pictures. Have prizes for the winning trees and make sure that they are will displayed in the office after the party.

3. Holiday Cocktail Party

For an office Christmas party, why not have a tasteful and community opportunity to swap recipes and favorite drinks? Have everybody bring ingredients for their very favorite cocktails, and set up a bar for each person to create and taste. Swap stories and recipes, give each cocktail a fancy name, and you can even create contests for the best drink.

4. Party Hearty in a Festive Cabin

For something creative, why not book an entire day at a cabin up in the mountains? You can put up a Christmas tree and have everyone bring some ornaments to help decorate, or get some great Christmas party decorations at www.shindigs.com.au and give everyone a chance to make the place festive. Add some festive goodies and dishes, a gift exchange, and a warm fireplace and you have a great location and day for a pleasant Christmas get-together. You can even have your employees bring along their significant others in order to create an intimate party where you employees will be able to connect with one another to a greater extent.

5. Ugly Sweater Christmas Party

Bring on the laughs when everybody comes decked out in their ugliest and gaudiest Christmas sweaters! Put bad family photos up all around the office for decoration, and feast on some tacky and stylish foods like fruitcake and crazily decorated gingerbread cookies. Play a few rounds of “Unravel the Sweater” and give a price to the winner for some fun.

There are many ways to show your Christmas spirit this year at your office party. So bring on the trees, the games and the cocktails and just have a blast with the entire office. Happy holidays!
