Christmas Events OrganisationChristmas events take months of planning and can be a headache from start to finish.
The holiday season is an excellent time to show appreciation to your staff for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.
Christmas events are something that staff look forward to as it is a chance to let their hair down, have a few drinks, make jokes with the management or even start a conversation with the office crush.
Providing entertainment at a corporate Christmas party can boost morale, increase job satisfaction, and foster a sense of belonging and recognition among your staff.
Hosting an entertaining Christmas event encourages staff to participate and engage with their colleagues in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. This can improve workplace relationships and teamwork.
The end of the year is a natural time to reflect on the company’s achievements and milestones. Incorporating entertainment into your corporate Christmas celebration allows you to acknowledge these accomplishments and motivate employees for the year ahead.
Corporate Christmas entertainment can align with your company’s values and culture. It creates an opportunity to showcase your company’s personality and the importance you place on teamwork, collaboration, and celebration.
Employees who feel valued and appreciated are more likely to stay with their current employer. A well-organised Christmas party with entertainment can contribute to employee retention by fostering a positive work environment.
A company that is known for hosting enjoyable and memorable Christmas parties may be more appealing to potential job candidates. It can be a unique selling point in recruitment efforts.
Corporate Christmas events often include clients, partners, or stakeholders. Providing entertainment not only creates a memorable experience but also reinforces positive relationships and fosters networking opportunities.
The festive season can be stressful, and employees may appreciate a break from work-related pressures. Entertainment can provide a chance for relaxation and stress relief.
This is why talking to a professional corporate hospitality company about it can receive stress.
Since COVID, virtual Christmas events have become more popular, as they can be done from the comfort of our homes.
Christmas is the time of the year for giving, and what better way to give than to throw a great party for your staff.
The staff are the lifeblood of your company and showing them that they are appreciated does build staff loyalty.
Considering that most staff only stay with a company for an average of 2 years these days!
Compared to having 3 jobs during a lifetime back in 1960, throwing a great Christmas party will promote staff retention.
Most UK businesses are experiencing tough times as the UK economic forecast darkens. As such many businesses do not want to invest as they once did.
However there are lots of options available that companies can take hold of for great Christmas events.
Different businesses have different options available due to budgets. Some ideas on a Christmas event could be:
Shared Christmas parties are becoming more and more popular for companies to join in on. What is normally involved:
The idea of shared parties is to gather together different business groups to a central event (at set pre-organised locations) and celebrate as a team (or business) on a budget.
Whether the company pays or the staff pay shared parties are a fantastic idea and as they are organised for a large number, can be fantastic value for money.
A private Christmas party can be organised around a theme (heroes and villains, 007 Bond theme, murder) or just based around the magic of Christmas.
An events & hospitality agency will help to create a fantastic evening for companies for 80 – 2500 staff.
Most corporate events companies will charge a bespoke fee to a client based on what the party is themed on, the number of staff to be catered for etc.
These are the two options available for Christmas events; unless you want to organise an event internally.

The important thing to do is to either theme a party or to ensure a Christmas ‘feel’ to your office/conference room. Christmas is a time of year that all people warm to.

It is always good to chat to different event management companies about Christmas events ideas.
Choosing a marketing company to handle your Christmas event can be challenging, as there are so many in the UK to choose from.
There are lots of things that can be done to make your Christmas part special. The main thing is that you show your staff that you care and to thank them for their giving during the year.
