If you\u2019re planning to celebrate Christmas with all your employees gathered in a video conference, it\u2019s quite likely that you\u2019re wondering how to make it fun! Since March, we\u2019ve all been in more than one meeting on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype, and Zoom, and let\u2019s be honest\u2026 They weren\u2019t all fun and games. But they can be! You just have to come up with engaging <\/b>and entertaining<\/b> surprises. We know it might seem difficult but believe us when we say: it\u2019s not! Read on to discover some of our favorite ideas for virtual Christmas parties<\/strong> that will awaken the Christmas spirit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run a traditional Christmas presents giveaway for your employees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Raffling attractive prizes<\/b> is one of the most classic ways to generate excitement<\/b> at Christmas parties: weekend getaways, Christmas hampers, gadgets, and other gifts, often provided by suppliers or company clients. Normally, each employee draws a number and then waits in excited anticipation to find out if their number will be drawn from the jar or Santa hat! <\/p>\n\n\n

But at Easypromos we have a different way to do it… Already three years ago we organized an online giveaway. We shared the direct link with all participants (leaflets, posters, etc) so that they could access the promo with the mobile phones, fill out the registration form – name and email – and enter the draw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is also a great idea for a virtual Christmas party! Share the link with all employees prior to the event and encourage them to sign up to enter the draw. Once all attendees are present in the video call you can simply access the Easypromos platform, share your screen, and run the draw right in front of your colleagues. In addition, you can present the winners with an animated video<\/b>, which comes with a countdown with visual and sound effects<\/b>. Raffling more than one prize? Each award will be presented with its corresponding winner. The Entry Form Giveaway<\/a> allows you to raffle up to eight different prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas prize wheel: let your employees try their luck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to raffle many different prizes? Using an online prize wheel<\/a> is a great way to distribute multiple gifts<\/b>. It allows you to randomly select winners of Christmas gifts but in an interactive<\/b> and innovative<\/b> way. Share a direct link with all attendees via chat or email and encourage them to spin the wheel! It\u2019s a great way to boost excitement<\/b> among all attendees of your virtual Christmas party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019re interested in organizing a Christmas prize wheel<\/a> for your virtual holiday party but with a different dynamic? Edit the wheel to display your employees\u2019 names instead of the prizes and share the screen. Announce what prize you\u2019re raffling and wait for the exciting screams when the wheel slows down and the arrow stops on the lucky winner\u2019s name! Take a look at the example of a name wheel prepared for a Christmas party karaoke. <\/p>\n\n\n

Live giveaway for your virtual Christmas party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another slightly more advanced option is to ask all employees attending your virtual Christmas party to answer a few questions when signing up for the Christmas prize draw. The Live Giveaway<\/a> generates a lot of rivalry<\/b> and excitement<\/b> as users battle against each other, live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
