Virtual Holiday Party Ideas for an Unforgettable Celebration

1.Holiday-Themed Virtual Escape Room

Last year, my team participated in a virtual holiday-themed escape room. As soon as the countdown began, chaos and laughter filled our Zoom call. We divided into small groups, each racing against time to solve puzzles about reindeer, sleighs, and holiday recipes. My favorite part was when our team leader, known for his serious demeanor, excitedly yelled, “The gingerbread code is 1234!”—and it worked! You can do that too. 

Holiday-themed Virtual escape rooms are an interesting way to celebrate the holiday season. Here’s how you can do it: 

• Choose a platform that provides a holiday themed or customizable experience. There are various platforms online that have themed escape rooms related to holidays such as Escape Hunt and The Escape Game. 
• Divide your participants into groups. Make sure the groups have people with varied skills and personalities.
• Set the time for the event that works for all participants. Send Calendar invites to the participants before the event.
• Give prizes to the winners such as the team that was the fastest or the team that solved more puzzles. The prizes can be digital gift cards or some other fun holiday themed gifts.

2.Online Secret Santa Gift Exchange

The Online Secret Santa gift exchange is an effective way to engage the employees of a team during the holiday season. Using Elfster, we organized a virtual Secret Santa last December. My Secret Santa sent me a Spotify gift card, knowing my love for music. During the live gift reveal, I saw everyone’s reactions as they opened their presents. The highlight was a teammate receiving a custom digital painting of their dog—it was heartwarming to see their reaction. You can plan the gift exchange too. Here’s how: 

• To set up an online Secret Santa Gift Exchange, identify and list the participants, and make them aware of the overall budget limits as well. 
• You can simplify the process by using an app such as Elfster or Secret Santa Generator. Register an account on the app, create an event and invite the participants via email or shared link.
• Set up a budget limit, usually it’s between $10 to $20. You can set up a theme like digital art, eco friendly gifts or homemade to make it more fun.
• Use the gift exchange app to assign Secret Santa to each participant. The app will send notifications to the assigned recipient. Ask the participants to fill out their wish lists so their secret Santa can get some ideas.
• Participants should purchase gifts based on the wish list of their assigned person. For virtual gift exchanges, consider digital gifts like e-gift cards, online subscriptions etc. Send the gifts on time to the recipient’s address for the event.
• You can host the gift reveal where participants can reveal their Secret Santa and open their gifts in the meeting. Participants will be able to share their reactions with the team.

Virtual Secret Santa Gift Exchange will help in maintaining team bonds and sharing each other’s happiness together.

3.Virtual Ugly Sweater Contest

A virtual Ugly Sweater contest is where participants can wear the ugliest or funniest holiday sweater. During our Ugly Sweater Contest, I decided to DIY a sweater with battery-operated fairy lights. When it was my turn to show off, I turned off my room lights, and my sweater lit up like a Christmas tree. My teammates couldn’t stop laughing, and I ended up winning the “Most Creative Sweater” award. We shared screenshots of everyone’s sweaters in our Slack channel for even more laughs.

You can organise this contest in a zoom meeting or any other online meeting platform. 

• Send invitations to the team including details and time of the virtual contest.
• Decide some judging categories to make it more interesting. The categories can be: Most Creative Sweater, Most Festive Sweater, The Funniest Sweater and overall Ugliest Sweater.
• Ask all the participants to vote on every person’s sweater. 
• The winning sweater should be given a girt card or consider sharing the sweater on your social media or company’s internal communication channels to have a good laugh.

 This activity can be pretty fun and memorable for all the team members.

4.Holiday Trivia Challenge

A holiday trivia challenge is a quiz game where participants answer questions about holiday traditions, movies, music, history, and more. The goal is to correctly answer as many questions as possible to earn points and compete for the top spot. Our holiday trivia was hosted on Kahoot, and the questions ranged from classic Christmas movies to obscure holiday traditions worldwide. I’ll never forget the moment when I guessed the year “Home Alone” was released in 1990 and my team erupted in cheers. I won a festive coffee mug.

 A virtual holiday trivia challenge can be arranged using the following tips:

• Prepare some holiday themed trivia challenge questions such as holiday themed movies or music. You can use online tools like Kahoot, Quizizz, or TriviaMaker to create and host your trivia game.
• Divide the participants into different teams. Make the rules clear for everyone and then start the game.
• Keep the questions interesting and track the progress of each team. Some trivia apps track progress and award points on their own to make it easier.
• Winning team should be given some prize or gift cards by other teams. 

Keep the Challenge interesting and fun by actively participating but keeping it less competitive.

Kick off your virtual holiday party with fun and engaging icebreakers to get everyone in the festive spirit. Check out our list of 101 Fun Christmas Icebreaker Questions to spark joy and laughter, helping your team connect and enjoy the celebration from the start.

5.Virtual Holiday Cooking or Baking Class

You can arrange a virtual holiday cooking or baking class with your team. We hired a professional pastry chef to teach us how to bake holiday cookies. My attempt at decorating a snowflake cookie turned into a lopsided blob, but everyone had a good laugh. At the end, we all showed our baked creations, and someone’s perfectly piped reindeer cookies stole the show. We even shared our favorite recipes on a Google Drive folder afterward.

You can either hire a professional chef or just do the cooking or baking yourself. Create a menu like if you want to cook then everyone makes holiday dishes such as Turkey breast or Holiday Ham. Holiday cookies are another option for baking.

1.Hire a Professional Chef

If you hire a professional chef, cooking or baking can be more of a learning session. The chef can guide the team while cooking and offer expert tips.

2.Host A team-led Class

Someone from the team who is good at cooking or baking can hold a team-led class and guide the participants during the cooking or baking session. This approach is more interactive and the team members will be more comfortable.

After the cooking is done, consider creating a google drive photo album where everybody can add pictures of their dishes. The team members can share the recipes with each other. Some prizes or awards can be given to the member with ‘The most presentable dish’ or the most delicious looking dish.

6.Holiday Mixology Class

Host a virtual cocktail or mocktail making class. For our virtual holiday mixology class last year, our mixologist guided us in making holiday cocktails. My peppermint martini turned out great, but watching a coworker accidentally use salt instead of sugar for their rim was priceless.

For your holiday mixology class, you can select a theme representing the holidays such as Christmas’s Classics, or Winter’s Wonderland. 

Hire a Professional Mixologist

You can hire a professional mixologist as they will provide you with unique recipes and offer some useful tips to mix and make the mocktails or cocktails.

Have A DIY Session

If someone on the team is an expert in mixology, ask them to lead the class and other team members can get help from the team leader.

• Send out the invitations for the mixology class in advance. Include the list of ingredients the participants should prepare in advance keeping the theme of the class in mind. 
• Share recipes and pictures of the mocktails with each other and on your social profiles and enjoy the festive drinks with your team.

7.Virtual Holiday Scavenger Hunt

We did a virtual holiday scavenger hunt once and I remember it clearly. We had 10 minutes to find holiday items around our homes, from candy canes to fuzzy socks. I’ll never forget running into my attic to grab the tree topper while yelling, “I’m still here, don’t disqualify me!”

Virtual holiday scavenger hunt is a great idea to motivate your team and to create an atmosphere of Holiday celebrating.

• For preparation of the holiday, arrange a video call and give participants the list of things related to the holiday that could be found at home. They can be a gift-wrapped item, an item in the colors of red and green, an emblem of the holidays, a candy cane or a mug in a colorful design. 
• Explain to the participants to find and bring on camera the items within the given amount of time. This way all the participants will stay active and entertained.
• Introduce a scoring system where points are given for each item found. Consider giving points for more creative finds. 
• A scorekeeper should be assigned the responsibility of keeping scores and updating the scoreboard at the end of each round. 
• Declare the winners at the end and reward people with fun prizes or e-gift cards/holiday items. 

The scavenger hunt will increase the team spirit and provide a fun and interactive approach for celebrating the holidays remotely

If you’re looking for even more inspiration for your virtual holiday celebration, Team Building Hub offers a wide range of creative and interactive virtual holiday party ideas to make your event memorable and fun. From team challenges to festive games, you’ll find plenty of ways to keep everyone engaged and in the holiday spirit!

8.Seasonal Virtual Game Night

A virtual game night during the festive season is a good theme to make your team have some fun. We played Jackbox Games with holiday themes during our virtual game night session. The “Drawful” prompts featuring Christmas traditions had us in fits of laughter.

You can enjoy it if your team is fun and competitive.

• Some of the games that can be played online include; Pictionary, Charade, and holiday bingo. Use holiday icons, sayings or songs as thematic prompts and bingo cards for the holiday twist. Add a leaderboard for recording scores and keeping the competitive spirit alive.
• Keep the game night exciting by switching between the games. This way, there is variation and everyone stays engaged. You can even set a particular time for each game, with short breaks in between.
• Award some small prizes or gifts to top performers as rewards.

9.Online Gingerbread House Decorating Contest

An online gingerbread house decorating competition is an interesting way to cheer up your team in the holiday season. We built gingerbread houses live on camera for our online gingerbread house decorating contest during the holidays last year. My roof caved in halfway, but the “demolition” theme won me extra creativity points from the judges.

You can do that contest following these steps: 

• Have a video meeting and give direction to the participants on how to prepare and display their gingerbread house. Either deliver gingerbread kits to all participants in advance or invite them to assemble their own gingerbread kit at home. 
• During the contest, people can record their beautifully decorated gingerbread houses.
• To make it more interactive, set judging parameters which include things like ‘Most Creative’ ‘Most Festive’ or ‘Best DIY’. Let the team members choose what they like best or select a jury to help you decide. 
• Declare the winners and use prizes like e-gift cards, or holiday raffle prizes to encourage participants to make an effort. 

10.Virtual Talent Show

We planned a Virtual talent show last year. I performed a parody holiday song with a ukulele for our virtual talent show. A teammate’s holiday-themed magic tricks stole the show, leaving everyone amazed. 

A Virtual Talent show is a great idea to showcase the holiday spirit and talent of your team. The talent can be of any type i.e. singing, dancing or a seasonal recipe.

• Make sure to involve all the team members in this. Plan in advance by emailing everyone about the talent show. Setup a schedule so every participant can perform on their turn according to the schedule.

• Make it interactive by adding a pole where the team members can vote for their favorite performance.
• In order to motivate the participants to perform better, announce special prizes for special performances like ‘the best holiday singer’ or ‘the most talented performer’. 

The talent show will boost the confidence of the team members by appreciating their talents. They will have fun by competing with each other.

11.Holiday Karaoke Party

Holiday karaoke parties can be fun even if they are virtual. Our virtual karaoke night was a hit! I sang “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” complete with a Santa hat and backup music. The best part was when a usually shy teammate belted out a hilarious rendition of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” Everyone was in stitches by the end.

You can arrange a virtual holiday karaoke party to have fun and laughter.

• Virtual karaoke using apps such as Smule, Karafun, or Singa can be organized because they have simple features for easy sharing and participation. Add some holiday classics to keep the festive spirit alive. 
• Introduce winning categories like Best Performer or Most Festive Singer and reward the winners with some prizes or gift cards
• Ask the participants to dress up for the holiday and use festive virtual backgrounds. 

12.Online Holiday Craft Workshop

Organizing an online holiday craft workshop to engage your team in an exciting and productive activity program. We did a similar virtual ornaments crafts workshop last year where we received kits in advance and spent the evening crafting ornaments. My ornament, a glitter-covered snowman, looked less than professional, but it was fun comparing creations with everyone. My manager’s attempt at a “minimalist” tree was just three beads glued to a stick, we couldn’t stop laughing.

You can arrange an online holiday craft workshop for your team using these tips:

• Arrange a virtual meeting where everyone has to show their craft skills by doing simple craft activities such as making holiday decorations, ornaments or cards. 
• You can send activity kits to your team in advance before the Workshop or give them simple ideas for the workshop. The crafts should be themed around the holiday and everyone should showcase what they made in the meeting. 

Create a virtual gallery where everyone can add photos of their crafts and this will be a reminder of a fun activity the team got to do in the festive season.

13.Virtual Movie Marathon

We used Teleparty to watch Elf together. Everyone joined the chat feature to comment on their favorite scenes. Midway through, someone shared a recipe for “Buddy’s Spaghetti” (with syrup and candy), and a brave colleague actually made it during the call.

You can set up a Virtual movie marathon for your team as well.

• Select a holiday themed movie that can be watched together. 
• Use a tool like Teleparty to synchronize the viewing experience, so all participants can watch the movie at the same time. Teleparty also offers a chat function, allowing everyone to share their reactions and comments in real-time while watching the movie.
• Start a virtual meeting after the movie ends and discuss it with other participants.

This activity will make the members feel how wholesome it is to share a simple experience of watching and discussing a movie together even if its virtual.

14.Digital Holiday Card Exchange

Last year, our team decided to exchange digital holiday cards instead of physical ones. We were given a theme: “Gratitude and Humor.” Each person created a unique e-card using tools like Canva. My card featured a cartoon of Santa stuck in a chimney, with the caption: “Here’s to squeezing out one more great year together!” On the inside, I included a heartfelt thank-you note to my team for their support and collaboration. During the exchange session on Zoom, we each presented our cards, explaining the inspiration behind them. One colleague shared a card with a hilarious meme about procrastinating on wrapping gifts, while another had a beautifully designed card with a personal poem. This activity was heartwarming and fun at the same time

Plan it with your team as exchanging Digital Cards is a way to connect with each other virtually in the holidays. 

• Select a digital platform for creating holiday cards, such as Canva, Adobe Spark, or even simple tools like Microsoft PowerPoint. They offer a lot of templates that can be used to create a variety of cards. 
• Ask the participants to add personal touches to their cards. Then set up a card exchange by creating a shared folder on a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox where everyone in the team can upload their finished cards. 
• You can also create a virtual gallery where everyone can upload their cards and browse the cards whenever they like. It will be like a cute virtual  keepsake for the team.

15.Seasonal Costume Contest

A seasonal costume competition can be a great idea to add some creativity and joy into the virtual holiday party. We dia a seasonal costume contest last year and everyone was really creative. Dressing as a reindeer with antlers and a red nose won me “Most Creative.” A colleague dressed as a snowman with marshmallows glued to their outfit was hilarious.

Hold a seasonal costume contest with your team:

• Ask everyone to wear costumes of their favorite characters associated with the holiday season like Santa, reindeer or elves. Categorize the costumes  such as ‘The Funniest,’ ‘The Most Creative’. Then award the best ones.
• Organize a virtual costume parade where everyone can dress up and show everyone what they are wearing on a video call. 
• The costume parade can be a great opportunity for everyone to see the effort and imagination of their colleagues.

This will help in bringing the team together and creating a festive holiday atmosphere.

16.Charity Fundraiser or Volunteering Event

You can organize a team charity event, such as a virtual fundraiser or donation drive. It is a meaningful way to give back to the community during the holiday season. For our virtual volunteering event, we made digital holiday cards for a local nursing home. Seeing everyone’s heartfelt messages reminded me of the true spirit of giving.

You can organize such events too. Here are some ways to do that: 

• Start by selecting a cause that resonates with your team and find a local organization to partner with. 
• Through platforms like GoFundMe or JustGiving, you can host a virtual fundraising event or coordinate a donation drive for items like clothes, toys, or food. To make the event interactive, introduce a leaderboard to track donations or volunteer hours.
• A team volunteering challenge is another great idea for a Fundraiser. The participants can contribute their time and skills remotely, such as by tutoring, mentoring, or supporting a community project.
• Create team-based challenges and set different milestones with rewards for hitting a target. Keep the team updated on the progress and celebrate achievements of the members.

A Fundraiser can bring the team closer by giving back to the community.

17.Virtual Office Decorating Contest

Last December, we hosted a Virtual Office Decorating Contest. I decided on a “Winter Wonderland” theme, using cotton batting for faux snow, blue fairy lights, and a mini polar bear figurine perched on my laptop. A teammate went all out with a “Gingerbread Office” theme, wrapping their entire desk in brown craft paper and adding candy cane stripes with red tape. During the live tour on Zoom, everyone took turns showing off their decorated spaces, explaining their inspirations. One person surprised us with a “Holiday Movie Tribute,” complete with decorations inspired by Home Alone and Elf, and even played snippets of iconic movie lines! The best part was when our manager revealed a hidden Santa suit and popped into the frame exclaiming, “HO HO HO, time to approve your vacation days! At the end, we voted for winners in fun categories and had a blast.

You can ask your team members to decorate their home office space during the holidays. 

• You can set up a specific theme or the holiday theme will go as well. Provide ideas to each other for decorations. 
• Do a virtual meeting where everyone gives a tour of their decorated workspace. Appreciate each other’s efforts by complimenting them. 
• Create categories like ‘ Most Creative, or ‘Coziest Office Space’. Do voting by an online poll for the contest and send some e-gift cards or holiday-themed items to the winners. 

18.Secret Recipe Swap

Our team did a virtual secret recipe swap for holidays and it was a hit. I shared my grandmother’s recipe for gingerbread cookies, which included a secret ingredient (molasses) for a deeper flavor. In return, I received a recipe for an eggnog cheesecake that became a new favorite at my family’s holiday dinner. The best part was trying out these recipes and sharing photos during a follow-up Zoom call. Everyone shared tips, funny cooking mishaps, and even their kids’ or pets’ reactions to the new dishes. At the end, we compiled all the recipes into a digital holiday cookbook and added festive decorations to make it a memorable keepsake.

You can try it too.

• Invite the team members to participate in a Recipe Swap by asking them to submit their favorite holiday recipes. 
• Collect all the recipes and assign a random recipe to each participant. The participants can prepare those recipes and then share the photos and feedback with the team.
• Make a digital recipe book where all the recipes are compiled together. Share it with the team so everyone can keep it and try the recipes they like.

19.Online Cookie Decorating Party

Last year we did an online cookie decorating party and sent those cookies to each other later. We mailed cookies to each other’s addresses. When I opened my package to find peppermint bark and gingerbread cookies, it felt like Christmas morning. During our video call, we all shared the stories behind our recipes.

You can set up a virtual meeting where everyone can bring their cookies and decorate them together. 

• Send a cookie decorating kit to the team members before the party or share a list of basic supplies the participants should gather for decorating cookies before the party. 
• Hold a mini-contest where the Most Creative or Best Designed cookie is awarded.
• Ask everyone to vote for the best looking cookies through an online poll. Announce the winners and enjoy eating the cookies together.

20.Virtual Holiday Photo Booth with Festive Props

Hosting a Virtual Holiday Photo Booth is a great idea. Our team’s photo booth session was filled with creativity. I donned reindeer antlers, held a digital candy cane prop, and used a snowy background that made it look like I was in the North Pole. One colleague dressed as Santa, complete with a green screen showing a sleigh behind him. We used Snap Camera filters for fun effects like snowflakes and twinkling lights. After the session, the host compiled all the photos into a slideshow, set to Jingle Bell Rock, which we shared as part of a digital holiday card. 

You can add some festive fun to your holidays as well by hosting a virtual holiday photo booth.

• Ask everyone to gather their festive props like Santa Hats, Reindeer Antlers or festive Scarves. Start the meeting on Zoom or other video sharing platforms and ask everyone to show off their props. 
• Team members can add holiday themed filters on their faces with the zoom meeting app. Take screenshots of each other during the meeting and ask everyone to take pictures with their festive props. 
• Gather all the pictures and screenshots in a shared album and use Google Photos or Adobe Spark to make a slideshow or a video compiling all the photos with a holiday themed background music.

21.End-of-Year Recognition and Awards Ceremony

We have done end-of-year recognition and virtual awards ceremonies for the last three years now. Last year, we kicked off with a slideshow of the year’s highlights, including team achievements and funny behind-the-scenes moments from Zoom meetings. The awards ranged from serious categories like “Outstanding Leadership” to lighthearted ones like “Best Virtual Background” and “Most Likely to Unmute While Sneezing.” I received “Best Team Spirit,” and the organizer mailed a small trophy with a heartfelt note, which made it even more special. Between awards, we played short holiday-themed games like “Guess That Holiday Song” to keep the energy lively. The ceremony ended with a toast to the year’s successes and individual shoutouts for each team member’s contributions.

You can hold a virtual End-of-Year Recognition and award ceremony to appreciate the efforts of the team members. 

• Do a virtual meeting on zoom where everyone celebrates the team’s achievements. Encourage participants to dress up for the occasion and use virtual holiday themed backgrounds. 
• Create categories like ‘ Most Hardworking’ , ‘Most Creative Problem Solver’ and ‘Best Team Spirit’. Announce winners in the meeting and send them e-gifts or Certificates of Recognition. 

22.Virtual Holiday Bingo

Our holiday bingo game was a hit! The bingo cards featured festive items like “mistletoe,” “snow globe,” and “ugly sweater.” As the host called out items, participants shared fun anecdotes about them, like one person describing the 20-year-old stockings their grandmother knit. I managed to get a bingo with the last item, “Hot Chocolate,” and won a holiday candle set. The event was fast-paced and interactive, with people cheering each other on and joking about their near-misses. For extra fun, the host threw in random mini-challenges, like showing a holiday mug for bonus points.

Plan a virtual holiday bingo with your colleagues.

• You can make bingo cards with symbols, mottos associated with the holiday, or even objects from work. Create them using online templates through Canva or Adobe Spark or even using simple word documents that have templates.
• Prepare your bingo cards and share PDFs of them with the team members via email or a shared document repository. 
• Conduct the bingo session and call out the items using Zoom or Microsoft teams. As each item is called, the participants mark out their squares. 
• Give out special prizes to players who are the first to get bingo. Such prizes can be gift cards, online subscriptions or even virtual certificates.

23.Online Dance Party with Holiday Playlist

Plan an online Holiday Dance party with your team members. We did it last year and it was so much fun. Dancing to Jingle Bell Rock in a Santa hat was exhilarating. A colleague’s moonwalk with reindeer antlers was a highlight.

You can create a Holiday playlist on Spotify and share it with everyone.

• Do the dance party in a virtual meeting. 
• Play the songs from the playlist and ask everyone to show their best dance moves. 

24.Virtual Holiday Storytelling 

We had a virtual holiday storytelling session two years back when work was shifting online due to Corona. Everyone shared holiday memories. One teammate recounted the time they got snowed in at an airport on Christmas Eve and made friends with strangers by singing carols. It was heartwarming.

You can invite the team members for a virtual holiday storytelling session as well.

• Ask everyone to tell their memorable holiday stories. 
• Dress up in the Holiday theme and use festive virtual backgrounds. Team members can take turns telling their stories.

25.Holiday Themed Game Show

A holiday themed game show can be a winner in the virtual holiday party ideas. We turned a regular Zoom meeting into a holiday-themed game show, complete with jingles and a festive host wearing a Santa hat. The games included a holiday trivia round (e.g., “What’s the highest-grossing holiday movie?”), a rapid-fire “Name That Holiday Tune” challenge, and a Pictionary session with holiday words like “mistletoe” or “snowman.” My favorite moment was when someone hilariously misinterpreted “Elf on the Shelf” as a scuba-diving elf! The game show ended with a lightning round where participants acted out holiday scenes for others to guess. Our team scored points throughout, and the winning group received gift cards.

You can arrange a holiday themed game show as well.

• Prepare a set of holiday related questions using Kahoot or Google Slides. Run a holiday themed game show like Family Feud or Jeopardy. 
• Introduce fun categories like Holiday Traditions, Festive Food trivia or popular holiday movies. Divide the participants in teams and award points for correct answers. Give prizes or rewards to the winning teams.
