There are lots of ways to celebrate Christmas at the end of year office party. Many companies go for a themed occasion deciding that \u2018Christmas\u2019 doesn\u2019t suffice. There\u2019s Winter Wonderland, Narnia, Frozen, Nightmare Before Christmas\u2026 But you can also strip it back a little bit. Away from the electronic entertainment and acts that require a loud sound system. You can take it all the way back to traditional Christmas party ideas<\/a>, perhaps highlighting the true values of the holiday.<\/p>\n

Costumed Characters<\/p>\n

The number one thing you need to do if your employees are going to really feel as though they\u2019ve gone back in time is to hire costumed characters. They don\u2019t have to be famous Victorians but one or two certainly look nice (Charles Dickens for example), whilst others can mingle with the crowds, adding to the atmosphere of the occasion. A Dickensian Christmas is actually another popular theme; why not add Scrooge to the festivities whilst you\u2019re at it?<\/p>\n

Christmas Carol Singers<\/p>\n

What Victorian Christmas party is complete without some Christmas carol singers. The best thing about this form of musical entertainment is that the group can wander about the venue, singing as they go, or you can make their background music a centre piece to the party.
\nChristmas Brass Band<\/p>\n

In the same sort of territory as Christmas carol singers, a Christmas brass band can provide all the Christmas classics your party requires. They can either stick to strictly Victorian carols or play a few more modern Christmas hits once the drinks start flowing (nobody will notice the change of era once they\u2019ve downed yet another sherry). Perfect for evoking the spirit of Christmas, opting to hire a brass band for your Christmas party always goes down well.<\/p>\n

Victorian Performers<\/p>\n

When thinking back to Victorian times, you might find yourself wandering what they managed to do with themselves with no television or films. We know, it\u2019s hard to imagine. Of course, it was the theatre that they loved to visit and no doubt they were entertained by street performers en route.<\/p>\n

Parlour Games<\/p>\n

With all this wonderful Christmas entertainment<\/a> on display, you might be thinking of wanting to hire interactive entertainment! This doesn\u2019t mean that you need to sacrifice your Victorian theme and bring in loud noises and bright lights; we\u2019re talking parlour games like quoits. If anyone is successful then they may just win a Christmas present from the company or maybe a little more time off. Go on, be generous, it\u2019s Christmas!<\/p>\n

Oh and don\u2019t forget your Christmas tree. We recommend a living one to scare patrons as they arrive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
