- 3 years ago
As COVID-19 cases continue to
rise across the world, it’s no surprise
that the holiday season will have to
look a lot different this year.
If you plan to follow government
guidelines and stay safe, here
are five tips for hosting a
virtual holiday party.
1. Use it as an opportunity
to get creative.
Families have likely logged hundreds
of hours on video calls so far, so think of a
virtual holiday as an opportunity to mix it up.
Work with your family members to organize
an elaborate and fun online activity.
2. Center your celebration
around food and wine.
Eating dinner together is an obvious opportunity to bring friends and family closer.
If you want to keep it short, share one aspect of a meal together, such as dessert or a toast.
3. Incorporate entertainment
into your party.
Keep everyone excited and engaged by
planning some form of entertainment.
Whether it be your cousin showing off their musical talent or your aunt being put in charge of creating a Spotify playlist, entertainment adds to any celebration.
4. Play virtual games together
There are plenty of virtual gaming options out there, whether it be through a phone app or a website.
You can even create
your own trivia contest or
play a game of charades.
5. Allow yourselves some
free time to just talk.
No matter how structured you’d like your virtual holiday to be, it’s a good idea to allow some open time.
Guests can use the unstructured time to
mingle and interact however they’d like.
