The holidays are a time to celebrate, unwind, and get your team together for some well-deserved fun. If you’re planning a company holiday party, why settle for the same old cocktail hour? This year, step it up a notch with activities that will not only break the ice but also leave lasting memories and smiles. Whether you’ve got a small office crew or a big company bash in mind, these five activities will help you host the most epic holiday party of the season.
1. DIY Holiday Workshop: Get Crafty and Creative
Want to unleash your team’s inner artist? A DIY holiday workshop is the way to go! Set up fun crafting stations where everyone can roll up their sleeves and decorate cookies, build holiday ornaments, or even make custom wreaths. This hands-on activity is perfect for letting your employees get creative while mingling and swapping decorating tips. Plus, the best part is they get to take home their festive creations as souvenirs from the party. Think of it as holiday art class with a fun twist—no grading required!
Pro tip: Make it even more interactive by hosting a ‘Best Cookie Decoration’ or ‘Most Festive Ornament’ contest. Who doesn’t love a little friendly competition, especially when holiday spirit is on the line?

2. Ugly Sweater Contest & Photo Booth: Get Silly, Get Snappy
Nothing says holiday fun like an Ugly Sweater Contest! Encourage your coworkers to dig deep into their closets (or their grandma’s attic) for the ugliest, most outrageous sweaters they can find. From jingle bell-studded masterpieces to sweaters with entire Christmas villages stitched on them, the wilder, the better.
Pair the contest with a holiday photo booth, complete with goofy props like reindeer antlers, Santa hats, and giant candy canes. Snap hilarious photos that your team can look back on all year long. At the end of the night, hold a vote for the ‘Ugliest Sweater,’ ‘Most Creative Sweater,’ or even ‘Most Likely to Light Up the Entire Room’ award. The possibilities for fun are endless!
3. Holiday-Themed Trivia: Test Your Knowledge, Have Some Laughs
If you’ve got some brainiacs in the office or just want to test your team’s holiday knowledge, try hosting a holiday-themed trivia showdown. With questions about everything from classic holiday movies to global traditions, pop culture, and company-specific fun facts, you can customize the trivia game to fit your team’s vibe.
Trivia is a fantastic icebreaker, gets everyone involved, and adds just the right amount of competitive spirit. Plus, the beauty of trivia is it can be done anywhere—from a full-blown office party to a cozy virtual gathering. Split the group into teams and offer prizes like holiday gift baskets or extra vacation days for the winners!

Holidays are all about coming together, and what better way to unite your team than through some light-hearted team-building games?

Whether your team prefers something physical or a fun mental challenge, there’s a team-building game that fits every personality.
At Strayboots, we know how to make team-building feel more like a party and less like, well, work. Our holiday-themed games are packed with fun and designed to bring people closer together—because nothing builds team spirit like solving challenges and cracking up with your coworkers!
