40 Corporate Holiday Party Ideas for 2022

This year's annual holiday party ideas feature is sponsored by Interactive Entertainment Group, a nationwide event production company offering innovative entertainment and technology-driven experiences for corporate events and activations.  

'Tis the season for IRL! When it comes to holiday happenings, 2022 marks the resurgence of returning to family traditions and gathering with team members (although not around the conference table).

And with COVID less of a concern, corporate professionals are spreading their experiential wings. Don't believe us? Take it from IMEX 2022, which clocked in an attendance of 12,068—a drastic upturn from the reported 8,605 people that attended the 2021 iteration.

The numbers personify the obvious desire to build back brand culture in the best way we all know how—face-to-face. After all, there's nothing quite like making a funny face next to your boss in front of a fun photo op or ice skating alongside a very tall coworker you could've sworn wasn't this tall because you only ever saw them shoulder-up on Zoom.

As the end-of-year holidays come around, no matter what type of timely activity you’re planning for your team, here's 40 corporate holiday party ideas—including creative catering options, fun and functional gifts, virtual and in-person activities, and more—sure to make your team feel as "back to tradition" as they did circa 2019.
