With so many festive online activities and experiences to choose from, there’s no reason why you should compromise on holiday cheer during this busy period.

Ready to get those sleigh bells ringing? Read on for our ultimate guide to hosting a stress-free virtual Christmas party in 2024. 

Shake things up with cocktail making

Is a Christmas party really complete without a cranberry spritz or a refreshing mojito? We don’t think so. If your corporate team has been waiting all year to clink glasses, virtual cocktail classes won’t disappoint. Whether you covet vodka, rum or gin, craft cocktail classes are a stellar way to bring together your team and enjoy a night of shaking, stirring, mixing, muddling and sipping.

Whether you prefer a sweet espresso martini or a summery pina colada, online cocktail classes are a great way to learn easy cocktail recipes at home. You’ll be sent a DIY cocktail kit with all the tools and ingredients you need to get shaking and gain the confidence to make many more refreshing drinks again and again!

Just because attendees will be learning how to make cocktails at home, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t dress up for the occasion. Take your cocktail-soaked Christmas party to the next level and ask everyone to dress up for a night out on the (virtual) town. You could even give out prizes for the most glamorous attendee and plan a few Zoom Christmas games for good measure. Looking for more virtual team building activities? These Christmas party ideas are perfect for remote teams! 

Play with clay at an online pottery class

You don’t need access to a pottery wheel or a kiln to create your very own ceramics at home. With online pottery classes, you can get your whole crew together for an afternoon of hands-on crafting with clay. 

If you’re planning a virtual Christmas party for your team in 2024, you’ll love Zoom party ideas like our DIY clay hand built bowls and plates craft kit. With DIY pottery kits for beginners delivered across Australia, no one gets left behind. For teams that have been dealing with stress this year (and let’s be honest, this year has been challenging for a lot of us), relaxing classes like mindful art Kintsugi at home are the perfect way to encourage your team to unwind.

Paint a masterpiece with virtual paint and sip classes

Whether you want to recreate the dramatic brush strokes of Van Gogh or replicate your favourite Monet masterpieces, online paint and sip classes promise an evening of boozy fun. Your guests will be sent all the equipment they need to create their own works of art, as well as the ingredients to make craft cocktails at home. 

They’ll also receive a link to the livestreaming class led by a passionate artist. Held via Zoom, these online team building activities allow guests to chat, connect and most importantly, share a virtual Christmas toast to finish up the year.

Spread holiday cheer with DIY Christmas craft

From handmade greeting cards to DIY wreaths, Christmas craft classes are guaranteed to get your attendees into the festive spirit. Most classes invite you to join a live stream event, ensuring you’ll get plenty of help and guidance from your teacher. Of course, this format also gives your event the social aspect needed to create a party atmosphere. It also makes our Christmas craft classes fantastic virtual team building activities.

Become a home baker or dessert chef

Nothing says Christmas quite like a freshly baked batch of mince pies or a tower of cocoa-dusted rum balls. With baking and desserts classes, you can unite your guests with an activity that everyone is sure to love. Fun and delicious, they’re definitely one of the best crowd-pleasing virtual Christmas party ideas. 

Pro tip: ask your attendees to dress up for the occasion in reindeer antlers, ugly Christmas sweaters or a classic Santa hat for added laughs!

Learn painting at home

In-between shopping, cooking and catching up with friends and family, Christmas can be a stressful time. It’s important to make time for activities that help you stay grounded and relaxed, which is where our painting classes come in. Led by expert artists, online painting classes teach you how to create your very own masterpieces. As well as being one of the best Christmas party ideas for friends, painting classes are well-suited for corporate events too.

DIY painting kits are delivered directly to your door, meaning you don’t need to head to the shops for specialty items like stretched canvases and paint brushes. Whether you’re planning a corporate Christmas party or a virtual family celebration, classes like watercolour painting for absolute beginners are the perfect way to bring together your guests. 

Get creative with online art classes

Looking for unique Christmas party ideas for friends? Fun and social, online art classes are a great way to celebrate the festive season. Whether it’s hand painting coconut planters or an anyone can do calligraphy workshop, online painting classes are a great way to celebrate with your loved ones this Christmas. DIY art kits are delivered nationwide, meaning you can invite besties from across the country.
