13 Virtual Christmas Event Ideas And Online Festive Activities To Host For Colleagues, Family & Friends
Okay, so we’re likely to be in some form of lockdown or other throughout most of December but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the festive season to the max.
With everything from seasonal drinks, festive activities and games that can be hosted virtually from home, if you’re looking for ideas for virtual Christmas events that you can recreate for colleagues, friends or family, then take a look at this awesome selection that we at Citysocializer are hosting through December.
And if you don’t fancy organising them yourself, and you’re up for meeting some new people, then feel free to join any of our Christmas events on your own or with friends:
Charades Christmas Special
Let the festivities commence! Have some fun playing this classic Christmas party game of acting, drama and guessing from the comfort of your sofa, all with a seasonal theme. Play in teams or take it in turns to act out your festive ideas.

'All About Christmas’ Quiz Night
We’ve all had it with Zoom quizzes but it is Christmas and a quiz is a great way to get everyone into the festive spirit by reminiscing about all the stuff we love and loathe. And if there was ever a time to get competitive (for fun) about how much you know, it’s now! From the Grinch to Elf, fir trees to pine trees, films, foods and festivities to tunes, traditions and turkeys, your team, friends and family will love a virtual quiz event that is all about Christmas.

The Big Christmas Music Quiz
See above. So many good, bad, silly, serious Christmas tunes over the ages, it’d be a shame not to re-visit them in quiz form, from “Guess the intro” and “What comes next” lyric challenges, to who got the Christmas number 1 that year, mix up the format to amp up the fun .

Who doesn’t love a game of Bingo? Get your team, friends and family feeling lucky by hosting your own festive Bingo Night live via Zoom.

It just doesn’t feel like Christmas without the festive partying, but with the nightclubs closed, your friends will love you forever for recreating the vibe with your own virtual Christmas Disco Party night to let your hair down. Create party playlists on Spotify and take turns being the “DJ” and sharing your sound, then turn the lights down and get the disco lights on for a full-on “partying together from home” session. Plus, create your own virtual bar area using the breakout rooms feature on Zoom, where people can chill out and chat to each other in between the dancing.
