With not long until the festive period is upon us, enquiries are already steadily flowing in for companies wanting Christmas team building ideas for activities that can be done in and around the office. Budgets can be restrictive when it comes Christmas team building ideas, especially when HMRC only gives tax deduction of £150 per person for Partys. Check out our previous Blog about whether team building is tax deductible.
Christmas Team Building Ideas need to run deeper than just going to the Pub. A recent blog expanded on how the drinking culture after work is changing.
So let the countdown begin, here’s 5 Christmas team building ideas your team will love!
- Quizzmass
- GPS Adventurer – Festive Edition
- The Christmas Show
- Musical Bingo
- Cocktail Mixology

From Partridges in pear trees to Good King Wenceslas, Love Actually to Christmas around the world… Christmas is well and truly covered!
Indulge in a festive feast for the mind, where merry moments and holiday cheer abound in every question and challenge.
GPS Adventurer – Festive Edition
Our innovative GPS Adventurer is a fully interactive activity that provides you with a unique and interesting way to explore a location. The GPS Treasure Hunt type event with it’s easy-to use
advanced technology, will have your teams working together to answer interactive questions and complete brilliantly compiled challenges, all delivered through our App on your own device.
Guests will visit a variety of locations to unlock GPS hotspots containing a series of tasks and challenges. Each will require a team strategy and plenty of consideration to return maximum points for the team. Only once correct answers are submitted do we reveal the bonus point opportunity, which is the scavenger item you’ll need to hunt for.
The Christmas Show
The ultimate Christmas celebration for your team. It’s a party mixed with a game show and it’s so good… why not do it in July! Dust down your Christmas jumpers and pull this cracker of an event, a Christmas team competition of fast paced games, from spaghetti western style cracker pulls to snowman building… chaotic carol singing to testing your knowledge of the twelve days of Christmas.
The event can be run during the day or evening, over dinner or as a fun team build with teams of 5 to 10 people. It’s a memorable Christmas extravaganza of guaranteed laughs, featuring all of your favourite Christmas tunes. Once the final round is over the scores are totted up and the Christmas show champions are crowned.
Musical Bingo
It’s just like regular bingo, but instead of shouting out numbers we play songs!
Each round takes on a different genre of song choices; these could be based on either a decade, theme or just a random quirky topic, for example Movie Theme Tunes or Disney songs! Our Event Team play the various mix-tapes on our powerful sound equipment for impact and quality, building the atmosphere.
Guests are each given access to a unique digital bingo card (that can easily be accessed via smart phone) that they simply select as they think they’ve heard the track or artist.
When they think they’ve populated the whole card and have a “full house” – they call, Bingo! This is a true test of music knowledge and will have you on the edge of your seat.
Cocktail Mixology
Each guest is provided with all the equipment and ingredients required to make 3 cocktails of varying styles and flavour profiles (menu to be selected by client). Your presenter will guide you through the process of each one step by step, dropping some tasty nuggets of information about spirit production, cocktail history and how to balance the perfect libation.
We can offer non-alcoholic cocktails on request, just inform us of how many guests prefer to use alcohol free spirits instead.
The class concludes with a light-hearted competition to see who can garnish their final cocktail the most extravagantly, with a prize for the chosen winner.
