The ultimate office Christmas - how to liven up your office this festive season

Get even the biggest Grinch at your workplace into the Christmas swing with these top ideas for spreading some festive joy in the office!

Organise a secret Santa

Whether you keep it just to your small team or get the whole office involved, Secret Santa is a fun and silly activity to bring everyone together. Set a budget to keep it sensible and make it more challenging!

Deck the halls

Dust off last year’s Christmas tree, gather your work colleagues together for an hour and add some Crimbo decor to the office! Even if you don’t have a tree to hand, hanging some tinsel from the ceiling will raise the festive vibes.

Sweet treat Fridays

As if anyone needs an excuse to indulge at this time of year! Christmas is the best time of year for lots of food and beverage goodies, so set aside an hour at the end of the week to share some mulled wine and mince pies!

Christmas Jumper Day

Raise your Christmas spirits and some funds for charity at the same time by getting your office involved with the Official Christmas Jumper Day! This year it falls on the 14th of December, you can even arrange a prize for the best jumper.

Crank up the festive tunes

What’s Christmas really without singing along to Mariah Carey’s festive classic, or hearing Wham reminiscing about what happened Last Christmas? If music is a go in your office get everyone together for a little sing-along or, better still, a karaoke session!
