The most anticipated company event is nearly upon us! These annually repetitive holiday parties don’t have to become predictable and underwhelming. These unique party themes will put the Holly Jolly into your celebration and live up to the caliber of NYC events.
Before you assume all holiday party themes have become as exhausted as elves on December 26, remember that Santa’s bag never runs out, and neither do these magically original themes that will certainly be the talk of the town (or rather, the TikTok of the town.)
Select the party theme that YOU would love to be invited to, dream up all the best food, decorations, activities, and entertainment, then hand those beautiful ideas over to EMRG and let us bring all of it to life! Better yet, hand over the theme, lean back with a cup of candy cane cocoa and let our team of event-planning pros do it all, from planning to execution. You deserve a break too!
A Scandinavian Holiday Party
If the words minimalist, dignified, or classic sound like the perfect holiday party tone, then Scandinavian may be the perfect pick! Simplified earthy colors with pops of red, natural materials like wood and cotton, and woodsy gnomes and wildlife can all provide great elements of both a timeless and modern party. What’s more, it’s easy to incorporate an eco-friendly focus into this natural theme. The Scandinavian Holiday theme hits all the targets of a NYC-themed party.
Holiday Movies in New York
The plethora of time-honored holiday films that are set in New York City offers many opportunities for fun holiday party themes. The most well-known movies include:
- Sleepless in Seattle
- Serendipity
- Elf
- Miracle on 34th Street
- Home Alone 2
Choose one of these films to build your party around, or have a holiday film fest and include more than one! Elf creates a particularly whimsical and playful theme, while Serendipity allows for holiday elegance and iconic NYC scenery. Find the film that fits your fancy and have festive fun!
Winter Holiday Montage
Collaborate all the major winter holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Winter Solstice! Get even more diverse and inclusive with non-US holidays such as Las Posadas. Setting up each holiday as a rotating station, which can include traditional foods, games, or trivia, adds intrigue and variety to the holiday party. Additionally, this creates a great socializing atmosphere with smaller groups, and employee mingling can be even more intentional with randomly assigned holidays upon arrival.
Nostalgic Holidays
Childhood holiday traditions pierce even the Grinchiest hearts. Bring in all the things kids love about this magical season and watch the childlike wonder come alive in your staff. Santa, hot cocoa bars, gifts, and crafts technically have no age limit, and you can raise the quality and sophistication to be more adult-geared without losing childlike innocence. What’s more, this is a great option for family holiday parties where kids are invited! And how special it is for kids to be part of the whole celebration and not be separated into the “kid zone.”
Season of Giving Holiday Party Festivities
Charitable giving during this season of plenty is a great motivator for people to add an event to their rapidly filling calendars. There are a variety of ways to incorporate giving into your holiday party. But to make it the central theme could be sensational! Select one or more non-profit charitable organizations and theme the party around it. One example would be to support an organization that offers school supplies to underserved communities.
Games can be school-related, such as “Are you smarter than a 5th grader.” Personalize the experience with “sponsor a student” programs. Financial contributions can be made fun by incorporating donations into games or raffles. There are a myriad of options that our brilliant event planning team at EMRG Media can source and execute to make this theme both meaningful and celebratory!
