White Elephant (aka, Yankee Swap or Dirty Santa) Gift Party – This holiday party activity is intended to be more for the fun that ensues during the gift swap than the actual gifts! Make it interesting by making them “theme” gifts like DIY crafts, holiday ornaments, or edible gifts.
Multi-Cultural Pot Luck – Ask each person to bring their favorite holiday dish from family celebrations. Make it fun by including holidays from a variety of cultures!
Cookie Decorating Bar – Provide different varieties of cookies, frosting options and toppers for everyone to decorate. Add to the fun by including a photo booth and everyone can share their creations!
Holiday Photo Booth – Photos with Santa, or have a photo booth with decorative elements that everyone can wear or pose with, like santa hats, reindeer antlers, candy canes, and elf wear. Snap photos and have everyone share their holiday costuming fun.
You can even COMBINE your parties and service projects by taking your group to the service project. Check out web sites like Hands On Atlanta to see where your department or friends can make a positive impact in our community. https://www.handsonatlanta.org/
