2021 forced everyone to reconsider the value of their time. It turned out that it is not necessary to hold daily hourly meetings with employees, but you can work from home at ease. Corporate events have also moved online. Is it possible to transfer to online everything that we love so much in offline events? We have provided seven virtual ideas for your online event that will appeal to both intellectuals and the most restless employees, especially in the upcoming new year 2022!
- New Year’s journey
Neither the Grinch nor Covid-19 can steal the New Year’s mood! Together with the team, you can go on a New Year’s journey online, admire the Christmas lights of Amsterdam or Tokyo’s cities, make a wish under the tree, or receive New Year’s gifts! A high level of engagement is recommended. Since “travel” is international, it is desirable to acquire the technology of video remote interpreting. This makes it easier to grab and hold the audience’s attention and observe the reaction of the audience.
- Cocktail party and bartender show
How about having a couple of cocktails with the team online and celebrating the past year’s results? Invite a professional bartender! He can show cool tricks and give a master class on making drinks right from home. Viewers can be sent customized kits with the necessary ingredients and tools to create unique cocktails delivered to their door for active participation.
- Cooking classes
A culinary show and a master class on making New Year’s sweets. For active participation, you can send kits with the necessary ingredients to all participants to cook together traditional New Year’s dishes: Polvorón, apple strudel, New Year’s pudding, and much more. As in the past, for an online event, participants can be introduced to a fun chef.
- Secret Santa
Virtually or not, no holiday party can go without Secret Santa. The online presenter pre-assigns the name to the participants who need to buy the gift. The gift will then be wrapped, signed by Secret Santa, and delivered to the recipients. On the day of the party, each employee will receive a surprise and will also be able to try to guess the identity of his “Santa.”
- Christmas QuizTeam
Virtual holiday quiz will fill the party with fun and excitement. We suggest you choose several proven options, either a quiz about your team’s New Year stories or New Year’s traditions, or stories from different countries. Such an event is great for groups of any size and the division of participants into 6-8 people teams.
- New Year’s masquerade
In childhood, everyone dressed up in all kinds of animals on the New Year’s tree. New Year’s party is an excellent occasion for a team creative masquerade! You can also arrange to deliver costumes for employees and become a superhero team for one evening or throw another themed party. The main thing is to set a real party: dance as if no one is looking! Cool music, New Year’s atmosphere, and a glass of champagne will give you vivacity and will not leave you without a good mood!
- New Year’s photo card
Trying to squeeze the entire team into a photo booth at an office party usually doesn’t end well. Remote group snapshots of teams are much easier to coordinate. During a virtual holiday party, you can get your team together on the screen for a video call and then use screenshots or a similar image capture function to take a picture. Invite your colleagues to make this photo more attractive with specific attributes: Santa hats, antlers, colored lights… Once you take a photograph, you can turn the picture into a virtual postcard and send all your teammates a souvenir to remember your virtual holiday party.

This article should help you rekindle the spark of creativity, as the online format opens up new, exciting opportunities for everyone.
