How do you celebrate holidays at work virtually?

how do you celebrate holidays at work virtually

To celebrate holidays virtually with a remote team, you can organize a Christmas party in a virtual office using Kosy.

We understand that working remotely comes with a lot of perks, but it also makes it harder to plan team events like a Christmas party.

So instead of confining your remote team to a Zoom holiday party (that is just another video call with a Christmas tree filter), you can plan a unique virtual Christmas party in your own virtual office. Give your team a place to chat, mingle, play party games, and share gifts — all in the comfort of Kosy Office.

Here's how you do it.

Where to host a virtual Christmas party

A virtual office is the best place to host a virtual Christmas party.

In Kosy, you can set aside a whole floor for virtual holiday parties, decorate the rooms, walk around, mingle, play holiday-themed games, and exchange gifts.

Instead of a video call disguised as a party, you get an interactive and immersive experience that will strengthen team spirit and morale.

If you want to see it for yourself, sign up to Kosy — you’ll see how easy it is to plan an engaging virtual Christmas party for your whole team!

How to make a virtual Christmas party in Kosy Office

A successful virtual Christmas party has a few key elements that we're going to guide you through. From planning the activities and setting up the virtual space to inviting your team members, we've got you covered.

Let's get this virtual party started!

Count the virtual party guests

The first step is to decide how many people will be attending your virtual holiday event.

The number will dictate the size of the virtual space, the number of rooms, and the virtual holiday party games you'll need to plan ahead to entertain everyone.

Plan the virtual holiday party activities

virtual holiday party activities

Kosy can make a virtual Christmas party fun even without a list of specific games and activities — just let everyone mingle, walk around the room, and interact with their surroundings (we highly recommend the reindeer floaties).

But if you want to go the extra mile, here are some highlights from our list of virtual holiday party ideas for remote teams:

Give Christmas gifts

virtual christmas gifts

Share the holiday spirit by giving virtual holiday party presents to your team members — just because it's Christmas or as part of a virtual secret Santa event.

In Kosy, you can use the gift box item to embed a link to a special present or a note. Here are a few ideas of what kind of virtual gifts you can give to your team:

  • a link to a holiday playlist
  • a link to a personalized Christmas card
  • a link to a personalized video from your leadership
  • a link to a digital gift card/subscription
  • a link to prepaid online courses/classes

You can either open the gift boxes together at a specified hour or leave them by each team member's desk.

Start a dance party

There's no better way to breathe new life into a Christmas get-together than by kicking off a virtual holiday dance party.

Put on the Santa hats and get out on the dance floor. Each team member can either dance themselves or use their Kosy avatar to show off some moves.

Musical Chairs

This is one of those virtual holiday party ideas you can only do in Kosy — musical chairs.

Set up a virtual room with enough chairs for every team member, and then watch them battle it out. The last person sitting wins the game!

Play virtual holiday party games

And, of course, you can't have a virtual Christmas party without games.

We've created a whole list of online team-building games you can play with your remote team.

Virtual coffee break

If your remote team lives in different time zones, a cocktail party might not work for everyone.

In this case, head to your virtual cafeteria for a remote coffee break or, better yet, a hot chocolate break.

Guaranteed to boost the holiday spirit.

Pro tip: we have a “Cafe” template available for you. Simply go to “Switch spaces” and click on “Template library” to create a separate floor with a cozy cafe.

Build rooms for the virtual Christmas party

Now that you've got your guest list and decided on what virtual holiday celebrations will take place, it's time for the fun part.

In Kosy, you can set up a separate floor for the company holiday party.

Or you can add a few rooms to your existing office space for the Christmas gathering.

It is completely up to you what rooms you'll have, but generally, we suggest these rooms for virtual events:

  • a town hall room to greet the guests, make speeches, toasts, and announcements
  • a virtual cafe to share cultural holiday cuisine, drink hot chocolate, or participate in a virtual wine-tasting party.
  • a lounge area to mingle, open presents and gather around the Christmas tree
  • a game area to play games, virtual holiday trivia, and other team-building activities

You can find templates for these and other rooms in the "Design Center" tab.

Decorate your virtual office

Celebrating holidays remotely is all about creating a proper atmosphere. And a Zoom background can only go so far.

In Kosy, you get multiple decoration and customization options, including Christmas trees, lights, reindeer, and more.

Here are a few tips on how to properly decorate your Kosy space for virtual holiday parties.

Get familiar with the "Design Center" tab

In "Design Center" you can find multiple items for customizing your office space, including Christmas decorations.

Use these to decorate your office Christmas party space.

Use custom images

In Kosy, you can upload any JPG, GIF, and PNG image to the "Design Center" and use it for decorating your office.

Use it to add your company's branding to your virtual holiday party decor as well as some fun animations like falling snowflakes, sparkles, and candy canes.

Create seating areas

Virtual Christmas parties are all about socializing with your peers and forming closer bonds.

Create seating areas around the room so the team members can talk, get to know each other better, and soak in the holiday cheer.

Decorate!

Now it's time to put all your virtual holiday party ideas to good use.

Decorate the office space with Christmas trees, lights, garlands, and stockings.

Make sure you leave enough space for people's avatars to navigate the office space, but other than that, let your imagination and creativity run wild!

Set up interactive items for Christmas activities

Decorative items are not all you'll find in the "Design Center". Kosy also offers a range of interactive objects, including Christmas-themed ones, you can use to make your virtual holiday party more fun.

Use virtual Christmas hats

If you think virtual avatars are cool wait till you see them wearing holiday-themed hats.

In Kosy, you can choose between a Santa hat and hat with reindeer horns.

Ride the Christmas floaties

How about a poolside virtual holiday party?

Place a few reindeer floaties around the party room for your guests to ride. And remember to take screenshots!

Place the jukebox

Sometimes, all you need to get your guests in the holiday spirit is a good selection of tunes.

Set up the jukebox to spruce up your holiday party.

Set up the gift boxes

virtual christmas party ideas gift exchange

Opening up presents is the best virtual Christmas party activity. Place gift boxes from the "Design Center" around the room for your team to open together and share their joy with everyone.

Alternatively, the link-embedding feature can be used for sharing holiday wishes or naughty Christmas jokes.

Use the gratitude whiteboard

virtual christmas party gratitude board idea

Place a whiteboard in the main party room for your colleagues to reflect on the year, give shoutouts and Christmas wishes to their team.

Your team can use Kosy's whiteboard asset to type/draw notes or, alternatively, use an easel to embed a link to a shared Google Doc or Miro board.

Invite your team to the virtual holiday party

As the virtual party host, you'll be in charge of inviting team members and guests to the event.

You can use the "Invite" button in the top right part of the screen or head over to the "Team" tab.

To invite everyone, you can either send them a direct link to your virtual holiday party or by scheduling it in their calendars (choose between Google, Outlook, Office 365, or iCal from the dropdown menu).

Host your virtual Christmas party

Now that all the preparations are done, it's time to host your virtual holiday party.

Virtual parties in Kosy are great for holiday events as they keep the team close and basically run themselves.

Put on your Christmas hats, jump on a floatie, and have fun walking around the office, opening presents, and discussing your plans for the upcoming year.
