Christmas Party Ideas for Small Businesses!
When you work a 9 ‘til 5 there are some weeks where you are hanging out for the weekend. Yes, we hate to say it, but some weeks we do live for Friday night drinks. As much as Friday nights can get rowdy, December’s party season is really where employees will be blowing off steam. As businesses get ready to close for the holiday period many will turn to celebrating their clients, customers and staff with a good old-fashioned Christmas party. Here is our list of the best kinds of Christmas parties for smaller businesses!
Mini golf
It’s time to putt your stuff at your office’s Christmas mini-golf tournament! While old school mini-golf isn’t exactly the most exciting options there are so many venues that host adult parties with booze! With a cocktail in one hand and a golf club in the other, it might sound like a recipe for a disaster, but really they are the most fun afternoons!
Karaoke
Scream, shout and let it all out at an end of year karaoke party! Booking a small room is the perfect way to blow off steam with a small group. Perhaps you could even cater for yourselves! A Cheeseboard Entertainer Hamper for example will keep energy high all night long.
Office Party
If going out isn’t going to work, or there is only a handful of you, then deck out your work space and just kick back! Fuelling your workers with some hearty snacks and gourmet food, as well as a little tipple, is a great way to wind down on the final day of the year.

Frequently asked questions
Small teams can enjoy low-key but memorable celebrations such as an adult mini-golf afternoon, a private karaoke room or a relaxed in-office gathering. The aim is to wind down together and mark the end of the year without a huge budget. Catering the day with gourmet snacks and a hamper keeps the energy up.
How can a small business celebrate Christmas on a budget?An in-office party is one of the most cost-effective ways to celebrate, especially for a handful of staff who can decorate the space and share food. Providing a grazing-style hamper of savoury and sweet treats is cheaper than a sit-down venue meal. A Cheeseboard Entertainer style hamper, for example, can feed a small group throughout the afternoon.
What food should I provide at a small office Christmas party?Grazing food works best because it is easy to share and lets people pick at it while they socialise. A hamper with cheeses, crackers, savoury snacks and sweets covers most tastes without much preparation. It also saves you from organising several separate platters or catering orders.
Is a hamper a good gift for staff or clients at Christmas?Yes, a hamper is an easy and well-received way to thank staff, customers and clients at the end of the year. It feels generous, suits a range of tastes and can be scaled to match your budget and the size of your team. Every Hampers With Bite order includes a free personalised gift card for your festive message.
What is a good venue idea for a small company Christmas party?Venues that combine an activity with food and drinks, such as mini-golf bars or karaoke rooms, work well for small teams who want something more lively than a standard dinner. Booking a private room keeps the group together and relaxed. If a venue is not practical, a decorated office with good catering is just as enjoyable.
How many people do you need for an office Christmas party?There is no minimum, and even a handful of colleagues can have a great end-of-year celebration. For very small teams, an in-office gathering or a private karaoke or mini-golf booking often feels more personal than a large event. Sharing a gourmet hamper helps a small group feel festive together.
When should a small business plan its Christmas party?Plan your end-of-year celebration as early as possible, because December books up quickly for popular venues and activities. Early planning also gives you time to order catering or hampers before the holiday delivery rush. Hampers With Bite delivers Australia-wide, so you can arrange team gifts to arrive in good time.
