Theme Ideas for Office Christmas Parties

Scott Kessman
Office parties are usually boring and stuffy, but they do not always need to be. Turn your next Christmas party at the office into a blast with creative theme ideas for office Christmas parties that will really get everybody loose and make them chill out a little while taking part in the party festivities. Themed parties during Christmas can actually give you tons of creative freedom when it comes to food, decorations and games, so do not be afraid to overdo things and make the whole thing memorable overall.

One of the best theme ideas for office Christmas parties would be Feliz Navidad. Look for mariachi bands that can play for you all night - from when the guests arrive until you are sick of partying. Hang white stars and chili peppers all over the ceiling, as well as all around the party room. Set small cacti as each table's centerpiece, then add some Christmas ornaments in order to dress everything up. Use margarita glasses with flashing lights and give them out as take-home gifts afterwards. Stick to colors of white, red and green when it comes to balloons, table linens and hang streamers and look for a pinata in the shape of a sombrero, so the guests can whack it later on, as well.

For something more classic, throw a Winter Wonderland party. Line the entrance and walkway with snowflake luminaries or white lights, and hang some twinkling lights around the door frames and on the chandeliers. Make some snowflake cutouts out of paper, tissue paper and foil and hang them not he ceiling, as well. You can even use your office projector, so the snowflakes will be projected onto the walls and ceilings. As centerpieces, pick ice sculptures for the buffet or banquet tables and as favors, give out personalized mint tins or icy mint tubes of chopstick.

If you would rather steer clear from traditional theme ideas for office Christmas parties, host a big magic show. Get a magician and have him do a show while you have dinner. Give out chocolate pretzel wands with thank-you Christmas tags and make balloon arrangements or bouquets as favors. You can even hand out jewelry and necklaces that glow for extra fun in the party attire - it's your choice.
