It takes work to plan an office holiday party. Event planners or the planning team are responsible for organizing an affordable, fun, and festive party. Your job is to design a party that your coworkers would love to attend and, even more importantly, one they will enjoy. The suitable holiday party games for your office can ensure your festive bash is a huge success.
We will review our top adult holiday games in this list. We’ve searched the internet and consulted our friends to compile a list of fun and creative office holiday games your coworkers will enjoy. We are done with Secret Santa and bumbling for apples ( – although we still love them!). For this year’s holiday party, embrace new and innovative party game ideas.
“Best Dressed” desk decorating competition
Before the party, the first game on our list is played. A week before the event, announce a desk decorating contest for all employees. Describe the materials that employees can use for decorating their cubicles or desks. It would be best to establish a time frame when each participant can start working on their decorations, such as the week before the party. Also, confirm that all decorations must be completed by the party’s start date.
Guests can walk around the room, see the designs and vote for their favorites. The competition is open to everyone. Participants can vote for their favorite desk. The competition’s winner will be chosen by the majority of the votes. Offers an exciting prize to encourage employee participation, such as an additional vacation, gift certificate, or cash prize.
How do you win? Earn the most votes to be named “Best Dressed.”
You’ll need desk decorations, crafting materials, and voting slips.
What we love about it: A desk decorating contest encourages creativity, self-expression, and event engagement. This is one of our favorite office holiday party games. It can help transform the office into a winter wonderland and bring the joy of the holidays to the workplace.
Christmas bingo for coworkers
Christmastime coworker Bingo is a great event that encourages employees to get to know each other and reduces tension. It works in the same way as other bingo games. The object of the game, which is to earn bingo, is to complete a line of squares on the bingo board. This version of bingo has personal information or unique characteristics, such as:
Participants must match the characteristics or traits of each card with their coworkers to play. After completing this task, the player can mark each square with the appropriate characteristic as complete. This twist is that players can only get one fact from each coworker. This encourages socializing among party guests.
A Minute of Holiday Magic to Win It
This holiday-themed office version of the Minute To Win It game is creative and festive. Instead of traditional ring tossing, you can add holiday flair to the game by creating “Reindeer Ring Toss.” Participants will be challenged to place five rings on the reindeer antlers within one minute.
Make the party favorite of stacking solo cups into a winter-themed workplace competition. You can decorate solo cups to look like different parts of a Christmas tree. One row of cups should look similar to string lights, and the top cup should be shaped like a tree topper. Participants are challenged to solve the puzzle in under a minute. They must correctly stack the cups to make a Christmas tree decorated.
Candy Cane Grab is another holiday minute to win a game. Each player will hold a candy cane from the straight end in their mouth, leaving the hook end out. Each player is given one minute to grab as many candy canes from the bowl in front of him. They must only use the hooked end. The player with the most candy canes in their mouth is declared the winner after one minute.
