Here are five fun ideas for Christmas team meetings to provide a little Christmas magic::

Funniest Jumper Contest

Encourage everyone to wear their funniest Christmas jumpers and kick off the meeting with a “runway” moment where everyone shows off their attire. Crown the funniest sweater at the end of the meeting!

Christmas Icebreaker Quiz

Start the meeting with a quick trivia round. Questions can be anything from guessing popular holiday songs to identifying Christmas movie quotes. Keep it short and light to get everyone smiling. This is a great idea for a Christmas team meeting and it can be as long or as short as you like.

Christmas Backgrounds & Props

Christmas team meeting ideas don’t have to be hard or complicated. You can ask everyone to change their virtual backgrounds to something festive (think snowy landscapes/ Christmas lights) and use fun props like Santa hats or reindeer antlers. For in-person, add Christmas decorations or crackers to the meeting room to inject some immediate talking points!

Secret Santa Recognition

If you’re already doing a Secret Santa gift exchange, carve out a few minutes to unveil the not-so-secret Santa’s in the meeting. People can show or share their gifts and add a personal note to brighten the mood.

Christmas-Themed Team Games

Wrap up with a quick “Name That Carol” (playing the first few seconds of a Christmas song for people to guess). Keep it brief and snappy to add to your list of Christmas team meeting ideas.
