Listen Later

Two experts, Carrie Davenport and Jaki Baskow, share their tips for planning holiday parties on this episode of the Skift Meetings Podcast, including:

  • Date Selection: Avoid major holidays; the first two weeks of December or the last week of November are ideal.
  • Venue and Theme: Choose the venue and a theme like winter wonderland or ugly sweater parties.
  • Food and Beverage: Custom menus, grazing tables, and holiday-themed drinks are recommended. Consider dietary restrictions and creative dessert options.
  • Entertainment: Options include karaoke, bands, Santa (even by hologram), LED performers, and interactive DIY bars.
  • Photo Booths: Provide visually appealing and social media-friendly photo spots.
  • Philanthropy: Incorporate corporate social responsibility by partnering with local organizations for charitable activities.


    These tips ensure a festive, interactive, and memorable holiday gathering.
