With budgets on the upswing and the corporate holiday party now being viewed as a valuable way to boost employee productivity and lift morale, planners are getting creative with themes. This year industry pros are seeing three popular concepts at end-of-year festivities.

Classic Holiday

Winter Wonderland
The elegant snowy theme never goes out of style, and this year planners have even more inspiration thanks to Disney’s blockbuster movie Frozen.

Offbeat Bash
