It is that time of the year again—the holidays and the time for holiday parties. While holiday parties can be a lot of fun when done right, they can also be dreadful or boring. Don’t worry, though; below, we will talk about some ideas on how to make your holiday party a little more fun.

Give Out Door Prizes

Nothing is more fun than being awarded “star of the night” or “office clown” with a prize! Spice up your party by coming up with the most entertaining categories and giving out prizes. You do not have to give out expensive prizes. Rather, something budget-friendly but practical will do, such as:

• Gift cards

• A dessert basket

• Mugs

• Event tickets

This will be a good activity to give out compliments and make everyone feel appreciated. Plus, who wouldn’t love receiving a prize?

Hire a Live Band

What’s a party without music? And to make it even better, live music!  A live band can hype up the crowd and entertain them better than just playing music.

When hiring a live band, make sure to consider the average or age group of the majority at your office. Choose a band that can perform songs everyone will enjoy or be familiar with. Don’t forget to open up the dance floor, as well!

Hire Mobile Food Trucks

While you will most likely be having a caterer or be doing a potluck for your party, a mobile food truck is fun, as well!  It’s one way to give attendees various food options as food trucks can serve food not offered by your caterer.

One specific good food truck idea is an ice cream truck. It is a fun experience and will bring back the childhood memories of many, in a corporate event attended by adults. One good example of a business that offers this is Besties Ice Cream!

Rent a Photobooth

A photo booth is a sure fun way of breaking the ice. People will be quick to flock over and take a bunch of wacky and crazy photos. This is one activity for people who are looking for something quick and fun to do without using too much energy.

Have an Entertainer

There can be different kinds of entertainers that you can hire at events. You can get an impersonater, a tarot card reader, or even a caricature artist. By having more than one activity at your event, you’re making the party enjoyable for your employees with varying interests. 

Open a Minibar

What best way for everyone to let loose than with a couple of drinks? Open up a mini bar at your party for everyone to enjoy some fun drinks. Hiring a bartender will make it even better because then good cocktails can be created with a bit of flair.

However, you may want to try to keep the alcohol levels to a minimum. Make sure to avoid getting too rowdy, and everyone can get home safely.
