Organizing a Christmas Eve meeting for employees has already become a common practice. Such an event can take place both at the company's headquarters or in a rented premises - it all depends on the preferences of the organizers and the budget allocated for this purpose. Certainly, a company Christmas Eve is a great opportunity to integrate employees and improve team relations. How to organize an unforgettable Christmas Eve meeting and what menu to choose? You will find answers to these questions in our article.

Company Christmas Eve – in the office or going out?

Both of these options for a Christmas Eve gathering have their advantages. To make it easier for you to make a decision, it is worth conducting a survey among your colleagues and making a choice based on that. Going to a restaurant is certainly an easier solution because it requires less commitment from us - just book the right place and choose the menu. In this case, the company Christmas Eve will be spent in an atmosphere of social conversations over good food and possibly a glass of alcohol. Choosing a restaurant or other place will also allow you to break away from the everyday reality of the office.

However, organizing such a meeting at the company's headquarters is definitely a greater challenge for the organizers, although on the other hand it may be full of various attractions for which there is usually no adequate space in the premises. After all, a company Christmas party does not have to be just a formality, but can become an interesting event that can integrate the entire team.

How to organize Christmas Eve at the office? – interesting suggestions

A Christmas Eve meeting at the company is a good opportunity to involve your colleagues in joint preparations, which certainly promotes integration and getting to know each other better in activities not only related to work. The team can divide into groups, and each of them will have a different task to perform - e.g. Christmas decorations, bringing homemade cakes and other delicacies for the common table, preparing gifts or Christmas cards.

However, a Christmas Eve meeting does not have to be limited only to food and social conversations among colleagues. Such an event can be diversified by various attractions - what interesting things can be organized during a company Christmas Eve?

Cooking and baking together

Instead of bringing ready-made food to the meeting, some holiday dishes can be prepared as a team, e.g. baked and decorated gingerbread cookies or make dumplings, and at the end, of course, eat everything together at the Christmas Eve table. If the company budget allows it, it is a good idea to invite a professional chef to such a meeting who will conduct culinary workshops for employees.

Christmas games and activities

It is worth thinking about organizing joint games and activities in a Christmas atmosphere - such attractions always promote integration! It can be singing carols, karaoke, Christmas quizzes or charades, or simply board games, which are great for any occasion.

Christmas art workshops

Handicraft workshops have been becoming more and more popular for some time now. During the company Christmas Eve, you can make your own Christmas decorations and decorations, Christmas cards or small gifts for your family or co-workers. In this case, it is best to draw lots - who should receive a specific gift previously made by a colleague.

Christmas volunteering

As part of the preparations for the company Christmas Eve, it is worth inviting your co-workers to join one of the many Christmas charity events. Together, you can pack parcels for those in need using items you have previously collected, play the role of Santa Claus and visit a pre-arranged orphanage, or organize a fundraiser for a selected purpose, e.g. for a shelter or a specific family in need. There are many ideas for this type of actions, and participating in them usually brings a lot of satisfaction and is also an excellent form of integration for employees.

Christmas menu for the company Christmas Eve

Of course, no Christmas Eve gathering can take place without a Christmas treat! It is worth planning the list of dishes in advance and agreeing with your co-workers who will bring what. Homemade cakes, salads and snacks are always great for these types of events. However, if most of the team is not a fan of cooking or baking on their own, it is worth thinking about ordering Christmas dishes and baked goods from a proven catering company or confectionery shop.
