Your company’s holiday party can be one to remember if you throw in some crowd pleasers that help everyone enjoy the event you’ve planned. Here are some tried and true ideas to help you add that spark of fun to this year’s party!
1. Recognition
Employees love it when they are appreciated and valued for their hard work. The company holiday party is a great place and time to recognize those who have contributed throughout the year and show how grateful you are. This can be a simple ceremony with certificates or plaques to say thank you, or you can make it a fabulous awards show with trophies and prizes!
2. Casino Parties
Hands down, everyone loves a great casino party. Especially when it’s for prizes instead of the chance of losing their own money. A little competition ups the ante and can make for an exciting evening if you set it up tournament style!

3. A Great Theme
Whether it be an ugly-sweater party, winter wonderland or a luau in the middle of winter, crowds love a great theme. Theme it up with décor such as rented palm trees for that luau or a snow machine for your winter-wonderland dance floor. You can even have a contest for the best theme-related costume!
4. Give Back
Holding a food drive for the local food pantry or toys for kids in need allows you and your co-workers to give back during the holiday season, which always brings on the season cheer. You can also organize a way for your group to volunteer together, which is a great way for everyone to bond during the holiday season.

5. Entertainment
Entertainers like a DJ or Band can get the party hopping for sure, but consider other ideas for fun like strolling carolers, magicians or even an Elvis performer! They are sure to remember the unique fun these entertainers can bring to any party.
