How to Build a Two-Hour Virtual Holiday Party Without Making It Feel Like a Meeting

Planning a longer virtual holiday celebration? Combining a hands-on activity with live entertainment creates variety and gives your team different ways to enjoy the event.

A two-hour virtual holiday event can feel long if everyone is doing the same thing from beginning to end. The key is variety. Giving participants different ways to interact, create, and relax can make a longer celebration feel much more natural.

Holiday Activity and Entertainment combines a complimentary AI holiday photobooth or trivia, a hands-on activity, and live entertainment. Instead of asking employees to stay focused on one format for two hours, the event moves through different experiences.

What the Two Hours Look Like

The host begins with 5 minutes of introductions, followed by around 15 minutes of AI photobooth or trivia. The group then moves into approximately 45 minutes of hands-on activity, where an activity host guides participants through their selected experience. The final major portion is 45 minutes of live entertainment, followed by a short closing.

The activity can be selected from available options such as chocolate making, cookie decoration, succulent terrariums, cocktail or mocktail making, and more. Companies can also select more than one activity depending on their event setup, with the applicable activity host fee for each.

This format works well when the goal is to create a fuller company celebration rather than simply schedule a single team-building activity. Participants get time to interact, try something new, and then sit back and enjoy the entertainment.

The result is a holiday event with different moments throughout the celebration, giving employees plenty of opportunities to participate while still leaving room to relax and enjoy the occasion.
