As we come to the end of this tumultuous roller-coaster year, corporate holiday parties are more meaningful than ever. These gatherings—whether vast and virtual or small and intimate—serve as a way to close out 2020 and look toward a new, hopefully brighter, future. Remote holiday parties had already been a growing trend, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the adoption of flex schedules and global office locations. But now all of us are faced with the possibility of raising a glass of bubbly over bandwidth. That shouldn’t stop us, though, from coming together to celebrate—in whatever way works. So, whether you’re planning a socially distant soiree or a digital shindig with colleagues via Zoom, we’ve rounded up plenty of holiday-inspired party ideas, including outdoor-friendly decor, delivery options from caterers, practical WFH gifts, festive entertainment, and more.
