Looking for virtual party ideas or team building activities in London this Christmas? Whilst you might have organised many team building events before, trying to get people across the globe together virtually has its own set of challenges. Don't fret: we’re here to help inspire you to find some online office team building activities which will be so good, you won’t mind working remotely after all.
Christmas is the one time of the year we all look forward to and when it comes to the Christmas work party, this year is no exception. It’s the time of the year when everyone waits impatiently to hear about where the work Christmas party will be held, what the theme might be and — most importantly — what everyone will be wearing! Make sure everyone puts on their best Christmas party outfits and prepares for an amazing party ahead, no matter where they are in the world.
So, if you want to continue the excitement for the online work Christmas party, we recommend some of the following fun things to do at home for your virtual team building party ideas.
Organise a fun virtual cocktail making class
It would be weird if alcohol wasn’t involved at the work Christmas party. Continue the tradition and do it from home this year. Most people love drinking cocktails and how much fun would it be to learn how to make easy cocktails at home? Not only will everyone have a laugh making DIY cocktails, but they’ll also be able to learn how to make impressive cocktails at home for their future virtual parties to come.
If you’re looking for Zoom party ideas for your team this Christmas this year, all you need to do is to choose which live-streaming virtual cocktail making class you want to join, and we'll do the rest. In the lead up to the cocktail making class, we’ll send everyone in your team a beautiful craft box that has been lovingly made by our local British cocktail makers. Inside the craft box will include a DIY cocktail making kit, which will include absolutely everything the team needs to do the class. This means no one will need to source any materials and it will be exciting for everyone to receive a Christmas box with all of the materials and ingredients for the class.
When everyone has set up their own little cocktail making bar at home, simply log onto Zoom to find the team dressed up waiting for the class to being. You’ll find our British cocktail expert ready to teach you all how to shake and make amazing cocktails you’ll be able to make time and time again in the future.
When the class finishes, continue the Zoom call on to keep the party going. Just remember, everyone will be keen to tell each other how they have made the best cocktail of the night!
You can’t go wrong with a virtual paint & sip class
If you’re looking to host a virtual work Christmas party this year and want to mix it up with drinking and doing a different activity, you really can’t go wrong with an online paint and sip class. Our painting classes online offer up a new and fun way to spend time with your work colleagues remotely. Because most people have probably never painted anything before, paint and sip classes are all about having fun, and it’s not supposed to be taken seriously or competitively.
Paint and sip events will see you recreating a famous masterpiece painting whilst drinking a glass of vino in the other hand. It’s all about getting out of your comfort zone and bringing out your creative side, which is something everyone will enjoy. Why not add in a theme of fancy dress to make it more fun? You could use the country theme of where the artist of the painting you’ll be painting is from!
Don’t worry about sourcing any materials as we’ll send you absolutely everything you would need to take part in the class as if you were there in person. Before the class begins, we’ll send out a gorgeous craft box to every home so that your team will feel like Christmas has arrived! When everyone logs into Zoom, you’ll be able to see each other and our local British expert art teacher who will lead a fun and engaging class.

Hold an online cooking class for your work Christmas party
If there’s one thing we all love about Christmas, it’s all about eating as much as possible. And we’re not just talking about eating loads on Christmas Day: you have to consider the lead up to it, and of course there's New Year's Day — that's a lot of eating!
Online cooking classes could be a brilliant work Christmas party idea because it doesn’t only get your team working together remotely, it will bring everyone together as you learn how to make some restaurant-worthy dishes. This is not only an excellent virtual team building activity, but you could easily incorporate it into your work Christmas party ideas.
Our DIY cooking class kits will include all of the tools and ingredients needed to take part in the class. We’ll send them in a beautiful craft box straight to everyone’s front door so they can get ready for the class before it begins.
When the class finishes, you’ll all virtually sit down and be able to enjoy your delicious meal together. Stay on the Zoom call afterwards and continue the work Christmas party with some more drinks and nibbles.
Just remember, finding virtual party ideas for your team this Christmas is actually much easier than you may have thought. With our craft boxes delivered straight to your front door, this could be the easiest work Christmas party you’ve ever organised!
