The Secret to a Meaningful Christmas Team Event

The end of the year can feel frantic โ€” deadlines, targets, and a whirlwind of festive obligations. Itโ€™s no wonder so many people arrive at Christmas feeling more frazzled than festive.

For many businesses, the default option is the big night out: champagne flutes, late nights, and sore heads the next morning. But ask yourself โ€” does that really bring your team closer?

This year, weโ€™re encouraging teams to do something different. Something that combines celebration with connection. Something that leaves people energised, not exhausted.

Why Creativity Works

โœจ Being surrounded by greenery calms the mind and sparks creativity
โœจ 100% of our participants tell us they leave our workshops feeling more relaxed

When teams create together, barriers drop. Conversations flow. People connect in a way thatโ€™s more natural than sitting around a noisy bar table.

Our Christmas Wreath Workshops give teams the chance to:

  • Step away from the noise
  • Share food, laughter, and connection
  • Take home something handmade and meaningful

Tips for Planning a Meaningful Christmas Event

If you want your team celebration to have real impact, here are some things to consider:

  1. Choose daytime over late nights โ€“ People often appreciate time out of the office during the day, rather than another evening on their calendar.

  2. Prioritise wellbeing โ€“ Look for activities that give people a mental break, not just another obligation.

  3. Add food & drink thoughtfully โ€“ A glass of fizz and festive treats can still be part of the experience, without the focus being alcohol.

  4. Make it inclusive โ€“ Pick something that works for all personalities. Weโ€™re often asked:

    • โ€œIs this for men?โ€ โ€” Yes, absolutely.

    • โ€œDo I have to be creative?โ€ โ€” No, we guide you step by step.

    • โ€œWhat if I donโ€™t have a front door?โ€ โ€” Your wreath can double up as a Christmas Day table centrepiece.

  5. Explore options โ€“ Wreath-making is our most popular festive workshop, but we also run other creative craft sessions year-round.

Create a keepsake โ€“ When people leave with something theyโ€™ve made, the memory lasts much longer.
