After years of hybrid working, rising expectations, and changing team dynamics, this year’s corporate Christmas party is more than just a “nice to have” it’s a chance to bring people together, boost morale, and end the year on a high.
But the pressure to deliver something inclusive, memorable, and logistically smooth is real. That’s why more businesses are outsourcing their Christmas party planning to experienced providers who can take care of everything.
Here’s what’s trending for 2025, and how WA Carr & Son can help.
1. Experience-Led Events
Forget a sit-down meal and a few speeches. Companies are looking for interactive, experience-driven celebrations, think live entertainment, pop-up cocktail bars, themed casino nights, or even immersive venues.
2. Inclusive & Sober-Friendly Options
With younger teams and more diverse workforces, the demand for events that go beyond alcohol is rising. We’re building spaces with wellness zones, mocktail bars, and creative entertainment that doesn’t rely on booze to bring people together.
3. Unusual Spaces
Warehouses, offices, car parks, blank canvas venues, these spaces are being totally transformed for Christmas parties. Why pay venue hire when we can build something beautiful on-site?
4. Flexibility & Cost Awareness
With cost-per-head ranging anywhere from £50–£200+, businesses want flexibility. Some are opting for light-touch packages (like furniture, bar, lighting), while others want full event management with all the extras.
Running a Christmas party in-house sounds easy, until it isn’t.
