Product Information

Curate a Spotify playlist especially for your team and send it around so that you can all be listening to the same tunes at the same time and getting in the yuletide mood together. Whether it’s on 1st December (you’d hope not…) or 23rd, when they’ve hit the target, let them go home until January! Host a virtual murder mystery party and spend the afternoon trying to work out who committed the crime, with what and why?

Better still, have the ingredients and kit delivered to your team members’ doors before the party begins. Do we postpone the celebrations until we can do them properly or shall we organise some virtual merriment? Think mince pies, puddings or the classic "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" - Whatever it is you decide to do, make sure that your work bestie is on-board with it! A slightly more obvious Christmas tradition, Secret Santa is an amazing way to bring your employees, across different teams, together.We all deserve a laugh, especially after the multiple lockdowns the whole of the UK has had to endure the past couple of years. You’d be surprised how much a few bits of tinsel here, and a couple of baubles there can really pick up the atmosphere and get staff feeling excited about the holidays! It’s been a tough year for everyone so host an awards ceremony to make sure your team know just how appreciated they are.

Make sure you’re the bell of your festive ball with an outrageous Christmas jumper that'll make you stand out from the crowd! During the 19th century, these heavy-knitted jumpers were made to keep fishermen warm during the cold and dark winter months. I’d recommend that you all wear Christmassy clothing though – it would just look a bit odd otherwise, wouldn’t it? Opting for an hilarious office Christmas jumper for work will be sure to bring some festive cheer back to the workplace.It’s obviously really important to engage staff throughout the year, but during the winter months, it can be tricky. If you’ve got a sporty team, set up a group on Strava for running or cycling so you can train as a team. Many people steer away from the good old fashioned Christmas card these days – and to a certain extent, I understand why – sending out a generic, cheesy card to employees (or clients for that matter) isn’t going to make that much of an impact.

Don’t forget to get some snaps of the team to share across your socials and vote for who has the best (or ugliest) jumper. You can even mingle in some joke awards to add some comedy to the event, for example, ‘best quiff’ or ‘messiest desk’ of 2015. And it shouldn’t end there – there are plenty of other ways you can reward and engage your staff this winter – some easier, some more flamboyant than others! You don’t want staff members thinking of work as an unpleasant, but necessary slog, they simply have to get through to make it till Christmas.If you normally have an impressive Christmas bash, do something smaller and bank the big one for the summer. In fact, the charity has partnered with JustGiving to help people organise their Christmas Jumper Day. You could go the extra mile and put on a festive pub quiz at the office or at a hired venue (if you’ve got a little extra in your Christmas budget). This is especially true for larger businesses where employees can feel overlooked or completely unknown to the Senior team. It’s a huge part of most people’s festive season, but not many know about the origins of this annual tradition.
