Unique Ways to Bond with Your Remote Teams This Christmas

Unique Ways to Bond with Your Remote Teams This Christmas


By Annie Symmonds

Shake up your team bonding and gift your colleagues a corporate event they’ll actually remember — all from the comfort of their own homes — with virtual Christmas party ideas in Australia. Arrange a Christmas wreath, get confident in the kitchen, shake cocktails and more with these fun things to do at home. 

Christmas is usually the time of the year everyone at work looks forward to. While many could easily spend the whole of December talking about what everyone is going to wear to the work party, this year will probably be totally different. If the team are working from home in Sydney or anywhere in Australia, and you’re unsure how to bring everyone together before the year is over, we can help you with our many online team building activities.

You know how important it is to organise fun team building events. The team have worked really hard during a difficult year and there’s no better way to reward them for their efforts than at Christmas. 

 

Although you might usually have your team building events organised, this time you know you need to dedicate extra time to organise something a bit more special. How do you find things to do when you’re all working from home? We’re here to help you get organised with your virtual team building events this Christmas, which also make the perfect indoor activities.

Our online classes offer more than various ways to bring the team together. While you could easily organise an online class every day before the year is over, we’ll show you some of the most unique ways to throw unforgettable virtual Christmas party ideas. 

Plus, you won’t actually need to do much organising to pull off some excellent online team building games. If you’re looking for Christmas party ideas at home, you could combine a few of our ideas below.

Get everyone into the Christmas spirit with an online Christmas wreath making class

DIY Christmas wreath

Get the team building activities started with a Christmas wreath class. The chances of everyone having made a Christmas wreath before are probably pretty slim. This means everyone will be feeling a little out of their comfort zone, and they’ll bond much more easily.

As you’ll be guided through the steps by experienced local Aussie florists, you’ll be proud to hang your very own custom-made Christmas wreath on your front door. You may also choose to work with dried flowers, so you’ll be able to use this Christmas decoration every year going forward.

If you’re unsure how online Christmas wreath making classes work, everyone will be sent a beautiful craft box to their front doors before the class starts. Inside they’ll find a lovely DIY wreath kit which will include all of the tools and materials you would have been given if you’d attended the class in person. Then you’ll need to log onto Zoom to find everyone ready for the class to begin. Your experienced teacher will be on hand to show you the basics of how to make your very own Christmas wreath in this fun and engaging class.

Host an alternative Christmas lunch with a virtual cooking class

If you’re not able to go to your usual team Christmas lunch this year, you can still host a virtual cooking class to bring everyone together. Online cooking classes are renowned for being a fantastic team building activity because everyone has to work together for the reward at the end. You could also improve your colleagues’ health by introducing them to cooking more in the kitchen.

We’re all guilty of wanting to cook quick and easy meals when we finish work. While many people don’t allocate enough time to prepare their meals, our online cooking classes will not only get your team spending more time in the kitchen, but it will also give them the confidence to start cooking more healthy meals. 

When cooking your meals from scratch, you’re more likely to choose healthier options when eating out and cook more homemade meals. When you’re eating right, you’ll have more energy and be able to concentrate and focus better. Now just imagine what that will do for work productivity.

Our huge range of online cooking classes are here to inspire you to bring your team together, cook a meal and sit down virtually for your Christmas team lunch. All you need to do is pick which livestreaming cooking class you’d like to take part in, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll be sent a beautiful craft box made lovingly by local Australian chefs and makers straight to your front door before the class starts. Inside your team will find a DIY cooking class kit so they can set everything up in their kitchens in time. When you log onto Zoom, you’ll be able to see the team with our local expert chef ready to teach you all how to make a restaurant-worthy meal. 

Transport your team to Italy with a pasta making class where they’ll learn how to cook gnocchi, spaghetti and fettucini from scratch or get them familiar with spices at an Indian cooking class. Discover how to fill and fold dumplings at a dumpling making class or even try your hand at native Australian cooking. The possibilities are endless!

You can’t go wrong with a virtual cocktail making class

If your work Christmas party is revolving around alcohol, get everyone in the spirit with an online cocktail class. This popular virtual team building activity is a fantastic way to get everyone to unwind after work and have some fun together.

While cocktails might be usually saved for a special occasion, your team will learn easy cocktails to make at home with guidance from a local mixologist. We have loads of online cocktail classes to choose from where your team will learn how to make at least two or three cocktails, to drink themselves during the work party.  

After the class has finished, continue the party with more drinks! The only thing everyone will need to do is to convince each other how they have personally made the best cocktail of the night! Throw in a fancy dress theme to get everyone pumped for the work party and you’ll be onto a winning new way to celebrate the team Christmas party remotely.

While we have plenty of online team building activities, these three ideas are to show you how easy it is to organise a virtual Christmas work party for your team. All you need to do is choose the event, you can be rest assured in knowing that we will do everything else to make sure it is a success!
