It’s downhill to December and time to start planning your Christmas party and festive entertainment! While deciding on the food, theme and venue might be straightforward, the entertainment is where you can really get creative. Here we explore a few options to make your Christmas party extra magical.
Your Christmas party is something everyone looks forward to. Whether it be a family gathering, an office party or a full blown end-of-year shindig, Christmas celebrations create long lasting memories, strengthen bonds and provide a well-deserved break.
A corporate Christmas party is especially important for boosting morale and fostering a sense of belonging amongst your staff. It’s also a good way to say ‘thank you’ for a year of hard work and dedication. But most of all, it’s a whole lot of fun!
In order to make your Christmas party really spectacular, you will need great Christmas entertainment. This can be anything from music and games to interactive performances. Your choice of Christmas themed entertainment should be in keeping with any theme as well as the type of event.
It’s ideal to hire Christmas party entertainers like magicians as they will be dedicated to creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. And magic isn’t just for children’s parties. When performed by a true master magician, it’s an incredible art form that appeals to all ages.
Chris Whitelock has spent years perfecting the craft and will create a shared sense of wonder and excitement among guests. As they wait for the next trick, their imaginations run wild, adding to the overall festive spirit. Then after the astonishing trick or revelation, there’s a collective “wow” moment. This shared experience can strengthen bonds between your guests and create a lasting memory of your Christmas event.
When you choose Chris for your event, you’ll also be getting an MC who will ensure everything runs smoothly without disruptions. This gives you peace of mind that your Christmas party will be a huge success!
The best part of magic as a form of Christmas entertainment is that it can be performed virtually anywhere. If you’re planning a large corporate Christmas party with loads of food and music, magic works well as an after dinner treat. Or if you want to make your end-of-year team building event truly magical, you can hire a corporate magician.
Live bands or solo musicians can elevate the atmosphere of Christmas events, offering background music during a dinner or a more lively set for dancing. Acoustic duos, jazz bands, or festive carol singers can fit different themes, from sophisticated corporate events to fun, casual office parties.
Live music enhances the festive occasion and keeps the guests engaged, while catering to various musical tastes with customisable setlists.
Photo booths are a fun, interactive addition to any Christmas party. Guests love capturing memorable moments, and when combined with festive props (Santa hats, reindeer antlers, etc.), it creates a playful, holiday-themed experience that encourages socialising and laughter at your festive celebrations.
Guests will love taking home printed or digital photos, serving as a memento of the event. Some modern photo booths also come with GIF and social media integration, adding a tech-savvy twist.
Games like Christmas-themed trivia, scavenger hunts, or “best Christmas jumper” competitions add a layer of festive fun and interaction, ideal for corporate Christmas parties or team-building events. These activities bring out the competitive spirit and encourage teamwork, which is perfect for company events. Games also foster a fun, festive atmosphere while keeping guests entertained and involved throughout the party.
With a band or DJ, the Christmas entertainment is limited to music (which of course, is required if you don’t want it to be dead quiet!). However, a Christmas party magician will have many tricks up their sleeve to get the party going, making them great Christmas entertainers.
With a varied skill set that includes close-up tricks during the drinks reception, table-side performances during dinner, or even a short stage show, a magician is dynamic, engaging and can perform at different times in your Christmas event. This is especially good for lulls in the event, as a magician can swoop in and get everyone buzzing again
Not only this, but magic is interactive. Your guests might get pulled into a trick or asked to participate in an illusion which makes things even more memorable!
