How to Plan a Stress Free Virtual Christmas Party

How to Plan a Stress Free Virtual Christmas Party


By ClassBento Team

For many, the holiday season can be a stressful time. On top of your day-to-day duties, you might have to shop for gifts, plan parties, take care of kids on vacation, and host family! We have a variety of virtual holiday party ideas to help take one thing off your plate. Instead of stressing through the holidays, take some time to enjoy yourself, whether you are planning an online get-together for family and friends or you want to celebrate the season with your colleagues, you can find the right online experience to fit your needs.

Spritz up your seasonal celebrations

Christmas parties are the perfect way to reward your team for their year of hard work. These gatherings give your team a welcome opportunity to unwind, socialize, and toast your achievements over the past twelve months. 

With many people working from home or traveling for the holidays, it can be hard to get your entire office together at the same time. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still host a swanky soiree, courtesy of our virtual cocktail making classes. 

We have live streaming online cocktail classes perfect for the occasion. We have a classic cocktails class that's anything but basic. Liquor Lab guides you in this virtual experience and you'll be shaking, stirring, and mixing like a pro in no time. Even if you have zero experience, it doesn't matter! Your teacher will help everyone in your group feel at ease so you can focus on having fun and interacting with each other as you learn a fun new skill. 

Connecting through clay

If you have always wanted to try your hand at ceramics, but never had the chance until now, why not make your virtual Christmas party your first session? Our online pottery classes provide an enjoyable and engaging introduction to crafting with clay which you and your remote teams are guaranteed to find inspiring. 

Maybe you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary activity to do with your team? A wood burning class is just the thing to take the focus off work and onto something relaxing and creative. Plus, everyone will finish class with a cool piece of art to display at home! Or, if you’re feeling generous, they also make adorable homemade Christmas gifts for your loved ones. Allowing you and your co-workers to relax and unwind while making something cute and constructive with your hands, this class is an ideal antidote to a stressful year. It also serves as a great way to reconnect and boost your team’s morale. 

Painting and Pinot Grigio

Searching for virtual Christmas party ideas for adults that combine learning a new skill with the chance to savor your favorite drinks? We have Zoom activities where you can do just that. 

Our engaging paint and sip at home workshops allow you and your party guests to channel your inner artists while sipping whichever beverage you have to hand - whether that's a glass of wine, a tumbler of whiskey, or just a fragrant mug of herbal tea. 

During these online painting classes, led by knowledgeable art teachers bursting with creative pearls of wisdom to impart, you will learn how to paint your own masterpieces to grace your walls at home. You will also be able to raise a glass and toast your family or colleagues in style while sharing your hopes for the year to come. Who knows, some of you may even discover a newfound passion for painting you never knew you had! 

DIY Christmas decorations

Hosting an online Christmas party gives you the perfect opportunity to get crafty and share happy memories at the same time. We have a great selection of DIY craft classes to entertain you and your guests as you create stunning hand-made decorations which will brighten up your homes this holiday. From creating a resin beach scene to making macrame wine totes, or concocting aromatic coconut wax candles, we have a class that will help you and your team get into the festive spirit and produce something you will each be proud of. 

There's no better season to hang a wreath than Christmas time! Join an online wreath-making class and create festive and personalized homemade holiday decor. This is a great way to bond, and have a small visual token that will remind you of time spent with special friends or family. It's hard to be apart for the holidays, but at least you know you have matching adornments on your home.

Satisfy your sweet tooth

Christmas is famously the time when all diets are discarded, and you can savor sweet treats to your heart's content. Why not satisfy these sugary cravings with your virtual Christmas party guests, courtesy of one of our online cooking classes? After all, cakes, cookies, and chocolates are guaranteed crowd-pleasers. You can't go wrong with a workshop that teaches you how to make your own decadent chocolate truffles at home or a DIY kit that helps you bake up a batch of sugar cookies to decorate. 

You could even try something savory and flirt with the flavors of the Mediterranean by learning how to make a tray of Greek baklava. These much-loved filo pastry treats are packed with crunchy nuts, luscious honey, and a festive cinnamon and clove glaze. Sure, you'll all end up with sticky fingers but those sweet and seductive flavors will be so worth it! 

Unleash your inner artists

Popping on an apron and pouring out your feelings onto canvas has long been a popular way of relieving stress and helping you connect with your creative side. Why not give your party guests the gift of artistic inspiration with one of our online art classes? 

Stimulating and social, these live streaming workshops will help you and your loved ones reconnect while learning a fun new skill. Whether you decide to learn how to paint pop art at home, make a joyful collage, or find out what it takes to paint like Picasso, our online painting classes will make the perfect addition to your list of festive Zoom party activities.

Plan a virtual Christmas party you will never forget

As you can see, having Christmas online doesn't have to be a drag. In fact, it can be just as enjoyable as the real thing, if you check out our diverse range of virtual holiday party ideas.
