Are you in charge of your company's virtual holiday party and not sure how to make sure it's a hit for the whole team? We can offer plenty of inspiration, with a wide variety of fun virtual holiday party ideas on offer. These creative classes will put your team in the festive spirit and serve as the special holiday gift they deserve! 

Yes, that's right - planning your corporate Christmas event really can be a piece of cake. As you will soon see when you browse our selection of classes, there’s no need to be disappointed by the fact that you can't have a face-to-face holiday get-together. A lockdown Christmas can be just as enjoyable as the regular kind, especially when you have so many Zoom holiday party ideas to choose from. From virtual cocktail making classes to inspirational paint and sip online sessions or even online pottery classes, we have a plethora of virtual experiences to brighten up your festive season. 

So, what are we waiting for? Let's dive right in and take a look at 5 awesome Zoom activities guaranteed to get you and your co-workers in the holiday spirit.

Spread some Christmas cheer with a festive toast

cooking for teams

If your team members used to be fond of going out for drinks after work, then why not resurrect that enjoyable activity courtesy of our virtual cocktail making classes? Hosted by warm, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable mixologists, these classes will provide plenty of laughs, thrills, and spills (well, hopefully not too many of those!) 

Whether you and your staff are keen to concoct the good old classics, treat your palettes to some Club Tropicana flavors, or take a virtual trip to Mexico for some mezcal, we have a range of online team-building activities to suit you. Worried that not everyone in your group is keen on alcohol? Never fear! Many of our live streaming sessions can be customized to fit the requirements of non-drinkers, so they are guaranteed to have just as much fun - and enjoy a clear head the next day.

Before your chosen mixology workshop begins, each member of your group will receive an artfully stocked DIY cocktail kit with most of the essential ingredients – you just bring your spirit of choice – and get ready to enjoy handcrafted drinks with the guidance of an expert mixologist.

A brush in one hand, a glass in the other

virtual cooking classes

Savoring a glass from your favorite bottle of vino is undeniably a wonderful way to enjoy any seasonal celebrations. But what if you could reconnect with your co-workers and learn how to paint a vibrant work of art at the same time? Well, guess what - thanks to our paint and sip online workshops, you can now do just that! 

These highly relaxing and enjoyable online art classes are the perfect Zoom ice breakers to kickstart the festive season for you and your colleagues. Even if none of you have wielded a paintbrush since junior school, you are still guaranteed to have a good time. Our beginner-friendly paint and sip at home class will see you being guided by an enthusiastic expert as you create your very own masterpiece. The best part is, while you're painting you can enjoy your favorite beverages to help get those creative juices flowing. 

Collaborate on a Christmas feast

online pasta making class

At last, a collaborative project you can all sink your teeth into - quite literally! Our delectable range of online cooking classes makes highly popular Zoom activities for loved ones, and for good reason. Delicious food is well-known for bringing people together to laugh, connect, share stories and make memories, and that's what you and your colleagues can do when you sign up for one of our culinary classes. 

Another pleasing aspect of our cooking classes is the sheer variety, which means that all preferences and persuasions are catered for. There are just so many to choose from, ranging from shorter sessions dedicated to decadent homemade desserts, to 2-hour live streaming workshops that show you how to whip up a lavish feast. 

Vegan and vegetarian classes are available too, and you can opt to sample a range of delicacies from around the world, including Thai, Japanese, Indian, and Italian dishes. For a tastebud-tempting fusion of alcohol and flavorful food, we also have several classes available that combine cocktail making with cooking for the best of both worlds!

Make your own Christmas gifts

Christmas is the season of giving, and with that in mind, we have a selection of crafting classes available which make the perfect virtual team-building ideas. Not only will you de-stress while getting to know your co-workers better, but you will also learn how to make enchanting creations that you could then pass on as Christmas gifts. A win-win situation, don't you think? Your family and friends are sure to cherish your hand-made treats, whether you've opted to make sweetly scented bath bombs, crafted some exquisite jewelry, or tried your hands at festive ceramic painting. 

Team building through tasting

If it's been too long since you and your co-workers have had the chance to go on a tasting experience, then why not try one of our enticing virtual tasting sessions? They're just as fun and sociable as any face-to-face tasting, and there are several to choose from, so your team members can enjoy sampling premium quality wines, beers, whiskey, tequila, chocolates, or even coffee. 

For instance, our California wine tasting at home virtual experience will give you an immersive insight into California winemaking and the qualities that make a particular wine stand out. During this class, you will learn from award-winning sommelier Martin and your at-home wine tasting kit will include three six-ounce bottles of delicious wines - one white and two reds. 

Tasting classes are great for diverse groups of people. If you're worried your entire team won't be enthused to try a craft class or hands-on cooking class, we get it! After a busy end to the year, sometimes all you want to do is relax with some good eats. If you have a couple of coworkers who prefer non-alcoholic activities, we offer fun chocolate tasting and virtual cheese tasting classes that will let everyone join in on the fun. 

As you can see, these 5 fantastic Zoom activities have all the key ingredients you and your team members need to kick off the Christmas period in style. We are confident that, whichever class you end up choosing, it'll be an experience your staff will want to repeat next year!
