It’s the time of the year everyone looks forward to, but what if you’re having to mix it up this year and come up with 2026 online Christmas party ideas? It can be hard to find fun things to do at home at any time of year, but more so during the fun festive season!
Often, we have Christmas parties lined up in the coming weeks so we can spend time together with our loved ones. The shops are full of sequinned dresses as we spend time finding the perfect Christmas party outfit and of course the best Christmas presents. There’s a magical Christmas feeling in the air as we walk around the shops with the Christmas music on and lights bringing the streets to life.
But what if you’re having to spend this Christmas separated from loved ones and you can’t visit your friends or family? Luckily we have a growing list of virtual Christmas party ideas and activities which will not only keep you entertained and feeling festive, they could in fact bring your friends and family more closer than ever before!
Our virtual experiences are perfect for anyone living in the United Kingdom. It doesn’t matter whether you have loved ones who you haven’t seen for a long time because they live on the other side of the world – you'll be able to catch up with them doing fun activities regardless of where they live, making you feel like you saw them yesterday. So you might not be able to see your friends and family in person, but you can still have the best Christmas from the comfort of your own home.
If you’re also looking for virtual Christmas activities or games for your team, then this guide will also come in handy for you too. We know organising online team building activities isn’t easy but hopefully you’ll realise it’s actually much easier to sort out with our popular online Christmas party ideas.
Stuck for present ideas this season? An online activity isn't just a way to celebrate virtually with your nearest and dearest, it's also a cool alternative to the usual festive gifts. Struggling for what to get your marvellous Mum? Ditch the perfume and chocolates and opt for an online gift experience for her instead – she'll be able to create something beautiful and learn some great new skills at the same time. Want to let your mate know they're great, or treat your Pops to a super special festive gift? An online class will let them create some wonderful Christmas memories, whether they're learning how to paint in watercolour, mastering the art of Italian cooking or perfecting their floristry skills at a festive wreath making session – and they'll be able to enjoy it all without even leaving the house!
Organise a Christmas cocktail party
One of our most popular online Christmas party ideas is hosting a virtual festive cocktail party. Don your best sparkly outfit, and organise a private virtual cocktail making class with your friends and family before Christmas. You could use this time to open presents you’ve sent each other, whilst you’re learning how to make easy cocktails at home. If hosting a private cocktail party isn’t your thing, you can join other like-minded people in a group virtual class instead.
If the idea of learning impressive cocktails to make at home sounds like fun to you, then simply choose which cocktail making class you’d like to attend, and we’ll do the rest. You don’t need to worry about sourcing the tools or ingredients for this class as we’ll send you everything in a beautiful craft box packed lovingly by our local British makers and teachers, directly to your front door.
Inside the box you’ll find a beautiful DIY cocktail making kit so you can set up your own little cocktail bar before the class starts. Then you’ll need to log on via Zoom and you’ll find your loved ones or like-minded people on the call with our British expert cocktail maker ready to teach you everything you need to know about making cocktails at home. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask the teacher any questions about making the perfect cocktails in this live-streaming virtual cocktail making class.

Create memories at an online Christmas wreath making class
If you’re looking for Christmas party ideas which don’t involve alcohol, you can’t go wrong with getting friends and family together for an online Christmas wreath workshop.
As Christmas decorations are all about fond memories, we’re here to help you create a new memory by doing an online Christmas wreath making class with your friends and family you may have not seen for a while. Just because you’re not there in person, doesn’t mean it won’t be fun.
Christmas wreaths are a staple Christmas decoration and although many people think they are only suitable for your front door, you can actually put them anywhere in your home – they're perfect above the fireplace (with the stockings, of course!) or on your wall in your living room. We also offer classes in dried winter wreath making, which means your decoration will stand the test of time and will be able to visit every year - just like Santa!
You don’t need to worry about sourcing the tools and materials needed to make a Christmas wreath at home, either. We’ll send a beautiful craft box directly to your front door containing your own DIY wreath kit, which includes everything you would have received if you were attending the class in person. Once you log into Zoom you’ll find your friends and family waiting for you alongside a local expert florist, who will teach you everything you need to know about making the most beautiful Christmas wreath you’ve ever seen.
If you’re looking for new online Christmas party ideas, we hope tour selection of suggestions has inspired you. Whilst we have many online Christmas party activities to choose from, you could also choose a DIY candle making kit to make your very own personalised candles, or you could try a virtual cooking class so you can learn how to make some delicious meals and sit with your family virtually for a different kind of Christmas party meal.
Whilst there’s plenty of online Christmas party ideas to choose from, our main aim is to help bring you together with your family and friends this Christmas. You never know, you could end up making our online activities a monthly meet up!
