5 Fun Ways Organizations Can Bring The Christmas Magic To Their Employees

There are creative ways to do it, starting with gifting your team custom sweatshirts for the holidays. We’ll explain in a bit. 

Let’s dive into 5 fun ways your organization can give your team a good time this holiday season. 

It’s fun. No argument there. Bring in some fun at work with Christmas-themed gamification. Secret Santa is one such tradition that makes sure everyone gets a piece of holiday appreciation. To begin, just prepare name cards for all employees and have them choose one randomly. The card chosen by an employee makes him/her a Secret Santa for the name on the card. Getting gifts, greetings and pleasant notes from a Secret Santa can keep the spirits up, with improved productivity and loyalty being the outcome. 

Another holiday tradition with a bit of a makeover to make things even more exciting at work. But first, some preparation is in order. Just go through ShirtsBargain’s wholesale sweatshirts collection. We recommend checking sweatshirts from Gildan, Sport-Tek, or Port & Company. Choose 3 different sweatshirt styles, preferably in 3 different colors. One can be red or a shade of red. You can wing it for the other two colors. 

You now have 3 styles in 3 different colors. Let’s call them Style 1, Style 2, and Style 3. Buy just one of Style 1 and Style 2, one each for two employees. 

Buy enough Style 3 for the rest of the employees. For example, if you have 20 employees, you need to get 18 of Style 3, 1 of Style 2, and 1 of Style 1. Personalize Style 1 with a unique design and Style 2 with a different design. The remaining Style 3 sweatshirts can have the same design which is different from the ones on Style 1 and Style 2. 

Now declare an Ugly Sweater Day at the office before Christmas. On that day, every employee must show up to work wearing the ugliest Christmas sweater they own, just for the laughs and gags. Now choose the person wearing the ugliest sweatshirt of all. At the end of the day, give this guy a surprise by gifting him the customized Style 1 sweatshirt. The runner-up can have Style 2. The rest of your employees might be wondering why they didn’t get any at all. Hand them all one Style 3 sweatshirt each. Now enjoy Christmas Magic in the air with smiling employees everywhere.

Christmas decorations will probably happen anyway, and it’s fun too. But why not make it more fun by letting your employees decorate their work desks or cubicles in any way they want for the season? Another alternative is to let departments decorate their work areas.

Not every organization is keen on setting up a photoshoot when they have a lot to wrap up when the year ends. But the employees love some time off work to make some memories and have a few good laughs. A better idea is to make it a contest. Either way, your organization can get a lot of photos to share through social media. 

Last but not the least. We are talking about fun ways to celebrate Christmas at work here. That would never be complete without goodies. For starters, you can ask every employee to bring a homemade Christmas treat to share with the team on a specific day. There can be special gifts on the organization’s behalf as well. Many organizations often give customized mugs to employees when sending them off for holidays. If you are passing on the Ugly Sweater competition, you can also give them warm clothing for the cold. 

Contrary to popular belief, gifting apparel with the organization’s logo imprinted on them isn’t a big investment at all. You can get them all at low wholesale prices, and lower still from ShirtsBargain. And then get bulk order discounts additionally for larger orders. Getting your blank apparel customized by a third party will incur more setup charges. You can avoid that by customizing your picks in ShirtsBargain itself with assistance from our Design and customization Specialists. 

People will be more inclined to spend time with their loved ones than work at the office as the festivities begin around them. A little Christmas magic at work can lift their spirits, and take their mind off of monotonous work. Let’s make this Christmas at your office special with ShirtsBargain.
