Christmas Party Ideas New York City

Fun Christmas party ideas

The holiday season can be a stressful time, but it doesn’t have to be. One thing you can get off your plate is planning a Christmas party that resonates with your team. Our team engagement ideas connect your group with the best of what NYC has to offer. Learn how to cook Thai food or make New York-style pizza from scratch with an expert in one of our team building cooking classes. Everyone can get into a food-themed event and interact with a fun activity. Including cocktails and wine makes it even more festive. It’s easy to include non-alcoholic drinks for those who’d rather have a mocktail.

Does your group lean super creative? NYC painting parties are great for drawing out the artist in everyone. You can meet up in Central Park or DUMBO to learn everything from acrylics to street art. If you really like to paint outside of the lines, a body painting class will let you draw freehand. Learn from local artists and get to know other like-minded New Yorkers.

Looking for gifts for mom? Instead of buying an expensive candle, try taking a candle making class together. You’ll learn all the techniques and get valuable tips from an expert maker. Make it a party with all your friends and loved ones by booking a private event. You’ll appreciate having the space to yourself while you bond over a creative project. 

How to throw an incredible holiday party in New York City

The city has top-notch food and drink experiences and one of the best ways to get into the scene is to get hands-on! Plan a cocktail making party at a cool speakeasy or enjoy a pasta party by learning how to make gnocchi, linguini, and all your favorites in an NYC cooking class. You’ll leave with satisfied appetites and lots to talk about well after your time is over.  

With our Christmas party ideas, you don’t have to sweat the details. Your teachers will set up the supplies and be ready to show you an amazing time when you arrive. If you have a hybrid workplace or friends who live far away, some teachers can accommodate those people in an online experience so you can include everyone in the fun.

We’re here to make your Christmas parties in NYC fun and easy

You can’t go wrong with Christmas party ideas that incorporate a creative element. That goes a long way toward helping everyone relax and decompress. Terrarium classes are the perfect example of getting friends or colleagues together to enjoy the beauty of nature while socializing. You’ll learn how to care for succulents and air plants while designing a terrarium exactly how you want it to look. Then you’ll go home with a sweet little display to show off in your next Zoom meeting or FaceTime call.  

Do you like the idea of making something extraordinary? Plan a craft party like no other by choosing woodworking or a metalsmithing class. Your group will love getting together to learn something cool. Your time in class with an expert craftsperson is extra motivating and everyone will have a blast no matter what your skill level. 

Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never tried some of these experiences before. All of our events are for beginners and your guides will make sure everyone is having the best time. The goal is to make it easy, fun, and memorable no matter what kind of Christmas party you are planning in 2023.
