Join us on our journey to building the leading HR platform in Europe Why not pick a less spooky one and reward the best Christmas jumpers? There are loads of free virtual tours out there, or you could book a private one with a host.Īlternatively, you could decide to take a virtual Christmas cookery class, a card-making session or a private group painting lesson with Paint by the Pints. There was a chat where we could talk to each other during it, there were prizes for the best costumes and we got to learn new things about Irish history. I did a spooky Halloween tour over Zoom last month and it was great fun. If the panto isn’t your cup of tea, there are other virtual events worth considering. You can either choose from six live streams throughout December and early January or the ‘panto on demand’ option, which you can view between 23 December and 5 January. Tickets are already on sale for €20 each, but there are also corporate and school packages on offer.

For obvious reasons, most of us won’t be doing that this year. Typically, a nominee would fill a hat with the names of their colleagues on slips of paper and dole them out, giving each person a teammate to get a gift for.

One of the most popular ways of marking Christmas in the workplace is through Kris Kindle or Secret Santa. So, what are your options for a remote Christmas party? Nobody’s quite sure how Christmas festivities are going to play out this year, but for most companies it’s likely going to be a virtual affair. Planning this year’s festivities? Our ideas will have your team rocking around the virtual Christmas tree in no time.
