10 experiences for team Holiday Parties without a Christmas theme.
Exciting activities that'll have your team feeling the holiday spirit, without the Christmas bells and whistles.
Does the messaging of “Christmas” not feel right for your team? Not everyone wants to rock around the Christmas tree, but we believe in spreading joy, laughter, and good times for all, regardless of our festive choices. Your end of year celebrations don’t need to have a “Christmas” messaging, they just need to bring the team together for some end of year fun! So that’s why we’ve put together our top 10 experiences that help you celebrate Christmas, without “Christmas”.
Whether your team includes colleagues with a variety of religious beliefs or some who simply don’t resonate with the traditions, we bring lots of fun festivities which are perfect for winter and end of year celebrations whilst respecting differences in culture. We offer a diverse range of activities to bring your team together for a chance to be social, to build connections and recognise each other’s hard work - no matter what our cultural backgrounds are.
Embracing festive spirit doesn’t need to include a Santa Hat. Providing an experience without traditional elements allows non-Christian team members a chance to celebrate in an open-minded setting that aligns better with their preferences and values. Wrap up your year on a high note with winter celebrations that are inclusive festive fun for everyone!
Browse our top 10 experiences below & talk to a member of the team to plan your team celebrations.
