It’s Christmas time again and every we know how hard it is to come up with inventive Christmas Party ideas that are not only fun but can cater to the masses… So here are our top ten ideas to suit businesses big and small…

      1. Tropical Island Christmas Getaways

Some of the bigger corporates like to take their employees on a weekend getaway for their annual Christmas soiree… Lucky them… Popular locations are Fiji, Bali, Vanuatu, New Zealand… Who cares, how would anyone complain about a tropical holiday fully paid for by your employer. Check out Reis and James Travel Associates if you need some assistance booking a corporate event => travel-associates.com.au

      2. Winery Tour

Another fun idea is to hire a bus and organise a winery tour in your local wine region! Our local in the Yarra Valley is always a crowd pleaser and there are so many awesome tours operators who specialise in creating a fun day for employees including lunch or dinner check out => http://winetourmelbourne.com.au/winery-tours/

      3. Themed Dinner

My auntie works in shipping and has the most amazing Christmas functions every year. Last year she organised an amazing dinner at Crown that was circus themed! Everyone got dressed up and there were Circus performers, games, a photo booth and lots and lots of fun!

      4. Night at the Races

Us Victorians love all things racing and a great idea for a Christmas function is to take your employees to the Races, or the Trots. Check out Flemington Racecourse for heaps of options they are even having a Christmas Raceday with santa and elves! Giddy up = > www.flemington.com.au/calendar/2016-12-17/christmas-raceday

      5. Amazing Race

If you are looking for something a little bit more interactive you could try an Amazing Race type team building option for fun, ending with a BBQ or dinner somewhere local or nice. Check out http://greatrace.com.au/corporate/ for some options…

      6. Barefoot Lawn Bowls

Don’t cringe, it is actually really fun! Very laid back, cost effective and a great way for employees to end the year relaxing with a drink in the sun! We love http://www.barefootbowling.com.au/ in Fitzroy check them out…

      7. Family Fun Day

If your employees all have kids a great way to end the year is to have a family fun day at your local park with Santa, presents maybe even a jumping caste or a petting zoo and don’t forget the fully catered BBQ option! We recommend Ed Dixon Food Design if you want to make it a memorable evening or event for your employees => http://eddixonfooddesign.com/christmas-catering/

Melbourne has a beautiful view at night especially on the water so a great way to end the year is on a Boat Cruise around the Yarra. Check out => http://www.ladycutler.com.au
