Our workshops are designed to be easy, fun and beginner-friendly, so no one feels out of place. Here are some popular Christmas activities for adults in 2026:

Whether you’re looking for something calming or a little more lively, our creative Christmas experiences give you the perfect excuse to gather, laugh and enjoy the festive season together.

Work Christmas party ideas for the office

Office Christmas parties don’t need to be complicated—or dull! Instead of worrying about venues or menus, choose a workshop that brings your team together in a relaxed, creative way. From pottery and cooking classes in Brisbane to paint and sip or flower arranging in Perth, there’s something for every workplace vibe.

One of the best parts? Choose a mobile workshop and the experience comes to you! Think pottery wheels set up in your office, a cocktail-making station in your staffroom, or a calligraphy workshop in your boardroom. It’s the ultimate stress-free option, with all the materials, equipment and guidance taken care of.

If your team is spread across Australia, consider a virtual office Christmas party. Online classes come with craft or food kits delivered to every participant, so you can log on together, enjoy the activity and still feel connected, even from different states.

These interactive office team activities aren’t just fun; they’re also a wonderful way to thank your staff, celebrate the year’s achievements and finish 2026 on a positive note.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I organise a Christmas party with ClassBento?

1. Start by estimating your guest numbers, then browse Christmas party experiences to find something your group will love.
2. You can book a public class by selecting an available date and the number of guests, or request a private session with the teacher if the listing offers this option. Check the listing for group size limits and private booking availability before making plans.
3. Once your booking is confirmed, share the details with your guests, including the location and anything they need to bring.
4. Some teachers can also bring the experience to your home/office or chosen venue, making it easy to organise the whole party in one place. Alternatively, book a workshop at the teacher’s studio and pair it with a festive lunch or Christmas dinner nearby. With the teacher taking care of the activity, including the materials, equipment and guidance, you can spend less time organising entertainment and more time enjoying the celebration.
Bonus: If you choose a foodie workshop, the entertainment also becomes the feast! Or, if you book a class where everyone makes their own Christmas gifts, cards or baubles, you can tick off the entertainment and another festive task in one go!

What are the best work Christmas party ideas based on team size?

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. First and foremost, check the listing to see how many people the teacher can accommodate. You’ll find handy details like group size limits on each experience listing and underneath the image on our category pages.
For large groups, it may be easier to have the teacher come to you, so look for experiences where the teacher can travel to your office or chosen venue and accommodate your team size. Paint and sip, hand building and Christmas wreath making are all great ideas for large groups.
Smaller groups are generally easier to organise, but the energy can wane without something to bring everyone together. Look for activities like cocktail making, cooking classes or other hands-on workshops that give everyone a fun focus and get the conversation flowing.

Can I organise a Christmas party activity at my office or chosen venue?

Yes! Some teachers can bring their workshops to your office or chosen venue, but this isn’t available with every listing. Look for a mobile option in the listing or check the information deck beneath the experience images to see if the teacher can travel to you. Once you’ve found an experience that suits, read the details about what the teacher provides so you know what’s included and what you’ll need to organise for the setup.

Can I book a virtual Christmas party activity for a remote team?

Yes! Explore our virtual experiences for creative activities that can be enjoyed from anywhere in Australia. Many include kits delivered straight to everyone's door, so they can get hands-on from home. Depending on the experience, you'll likely follow along with a live or pre-recorded video. Check the listing to see what's included in the kit and how the virtual experience works, then get everyone online for some festive fun together.

How far in advance should I book a Christmas party activity?

We recommend starting to plan around October. This gives you plenty of time to find an experience, confirm the details and get everyone excited, while reducing the risk of missing out on your preferred activity.
If you're organising a smaller group and booking into a public class, you may be able to leave things a little later, although popular sessions can book out quickly. For larger groups or private and mobile experiences, it's best to plan further ahead so the teacher has enough time to organise everything for your party.
