Awesome Theme Ideas for Your Office Christmas Party: ‘Tis the Season to Celebrate in Style
The office Christmas party is often the highlight of the corporate calendar — a chance to unwind, reflect on the year’s successes, and bring your team together before the holidays. But if you’ve been tasked with organising it, you’ll know how important it is to get the theme just right. A great theme sets the tone, inspires your décor, and makes the night memorable.
To help you plan a celebration that stands out, here are some awesome Christmas party themes that range from classy and sophisticated to fun and festive — plus tips on how to bring each to life with a little help from Co-Ordination Event Hire.
Winter Wonderland
An all-time favourite, the Winter Wonderland theme is perfect for creating a magical and elegant atmosphere. Think crisp white linens, sparkling glassware, and shimmering silver accents.
- Use white table linens, glass charger plates, and crystal glassware for a frosty, refined look.
- Add twinkling fairy lights and frosted centrepieces to complete the effect.
Pro tip: Pair your décor with a signature winter cocktail, served in elegant cocktail glassware from Co-Ordination Event Hire for that extra touch of sophistication.
Christmas Around the World
Celebrate diversity in the workplace with a theme that highlights festive traditions from different cultures. Each table can represent a country — from a German-style Christmas market to a vibrant Australian beach BBQ.
- Use colourful tableware and linens to match each region’s festive style.
- Include small props or table flags to give each table its own identity.
This theme encourages conversation and creativity, perfect for larger teams looking to mix things up.
Great Gatsby Glamour
For an opulent twist on the holidays, go full 1920s glamour. Channel the roaring twenties with black and gold décor, vintage glassware, and plush furniture.
- Think black and gold, champagne saucers, and luxurious linens.
- Jazz-era music, feather centrepieces, and flapper-inspired outfits will transport guests straight into the Gatsby era.
Pro tip: Co-Ordination Event Hire’s furniture hire range includes elegant poseur tables, perfect for a Gatsby-style cocktail soirée.
Ugly Christmas Jumper Party
If your team prefers a relaxed, light-hearted evening, you can’t go wrong with this fun classic. Encourage everyone to don their most outrageous festive knitwear — prizes for the best (or worst!) jumper are a must.
- Keep the setup simple with colourful tablecloths and playful glassware.
- Serve festive comfort food and seasonal drinks for a cosy, cheerful vibe.
This is a budget-friendly theme that focuses on fun rather than formality — ideal for smaller teams or casual office gatherings.
Apres-Ski Lodge
Bring Alpine charm to your venue with a warm and rustic Apres-Ski theme.
- Decorate with rustic wooden furniture, tartan linens, and candlelight. Add the extra wow factor with our 12ft Barrel Bar.
- Serve mulled wine or hot chocolate in stylish latte glasses and create a snug, fireside feel.
This theme works beautifully for evening events or venues with outdoor space — think log cabin chic without the cold.
Hollywood Red Carpet
Give your staff the VIP treatment with a glamorous Hollywood Awards Night.
- Roll out a red carpet, set up a photo booth, and serve the bubble in glassware worthy of the Oscars.
- Use black and gold table settings and elegant crockery to match the luxe theme.
Encourage guests to dress up as movie stars or in black tie — then hand out fun “awards” for achievements (and office in-jokes) from the past year.
