🎄 10 Ways to Make Your Office Christmas Unmissable!

We've hand-picked some of our favourite offerings from London’s best indie suppliers.

The holiday season isn’t just about a tree in the lobby - it’s a chance to surprise your team with unique experiences and thoughtful treats. Whether you’re looking for memorable team‑building activities, delicious edible gifts, or decor that does the hard work for you, the Christmas with Clara marketplace has it all. Here are the most exciting ideas I uncovered.

1. Craft Your Own Festive Wreaths

Kick off the holidays with a Wreath Making Workshop. A florist from The Wellbeing Agency will teach your team to build beautiful wreaths with moss‑based rings, fresh winter foliage, dried fruits, cinnamon sticks and ribbons. The session (90–120 min) is hands‑on and everyone leaves with a finished wreath and new knowledge about seasonal materials.

2. Harness the Magic of LEGO

Why not channel your inner child? Festive Lego Building Workshops by Bricks McGee turn colleagues into architects. You’ll receive holiday‑themed LEGO challenges that encourage collaboration, creative thinking and plenty of laughter. It’s ideal for teams looking to bond while building Santa’s workshop brick by brick.

3. Warm Up With a Mulled Wine & Mince Pie Pop‑Up

Bring the Christmas market to your office by booking a Mulled Wine & Mince Pie Pop‑Up. Sweets for My Sweet. provides a fully staffed station serving fragrant mulled wine and warm mince pies for 50–150 portions. Expect festive aromas wafting through the corridors and happy colleagues who don’t have to queue in the cold.

4. Add a Sparkle With Macramé & Craft Workshops

For a calmer, mindful activity, The Wellbeing Agency offers a Macramé Snowflake Workshop – In‑person or Virtual. Participants are guided through making eco‑friendly macramé snowflakes – perfect as ornaments or gifts. All materials are provided, and the workshop can be tailored for remote teams.

5. Treat Your Team to 25 Days of Coffee Cheer

Coffee lovers rejoice! 25 Days of Coffee Cheer delivers a different single‑origin coffee sachet every day of December. Each pouch contains 18 g of ethically sourced coffee plus a collectible card detailing the origin and tasting notes. It’s a gift that keeps morale high all month long. (For a similar option available to the public, see Pact Coffee’s Advent Calendar.)

6. Sustainable Hampers That Give Back

For a socially conscious gift, consider Booni Box’s Sustainable Festive Gifting hampers. Options range from £25 (small) to £50 (large) and include artisanal jam, biscuits, mince pies, chutney, ethically‑sourced tea, a Dalit candle and – in the wine version – a bottle of Sea Change wine or Prosecco. The packaging is recyclable and a portion of the profits helps fair‑trade projects. You can browse Booni’s Christmas range here.

7. Desk‑Friendly Branded Chocolate Advent Calendars

If you want a branded treat that doesn’t break the bank, Eat My Logo offers Branded Chocolate Advent Calendars from £5 each. They come in packs of 50–100 and give clients or staff 24 days of chocolate while keeping your logo front and centre.

8. Sip Smart With Pre‑Alcohol Pear Juice

Got a big office party planned? Help everyone feel fresh the next day with PrePear’s “Drink Before Alcohol for Brighter Mornings”. This pre‑alcohol drink uses South Korean Shingo pears to activate enzymes that help break down alcohol and acetaldehyde, reducing hangover symptoms. Each case (12 pouches) costs £23.55 and orders of five cases or more are delivered free.

9. Go All‑Out With Drag Bingo or Karaoke

Take your holiday party to the next level with Virtual Drag Bingo or a Christmas Karaoke Party. Drag Bingo - hosted by Charlie Hides - is an irreverent, world‑famous online event that pairs comedy with interactive bingo, while karaoke lets colleagues belt out Mariah Carey until their hearts (and ears) are content.

10. Bring in the Trees and Décor Experts

Why wrestle with string lights and pine needles when you can book a full service? Pine & Needles offers decorated and recycled Christmas trees (6–8 ft) delivered, set up and replanted after the season. Combine this with a Wreath Making and your office will look like a winter wonderland without you lifting a finger.

Final Thoughts

This year, ditch the stale office Secret Santa and embrace experiences that delight, inspire and bring people together. From hands‑on wreath or macramé workshops to branded advent calendars and pre‑alcohol pear juice that ensures no one regrets the holiday party, the options are as diverse as your team. Use these ideas to craft a Christmas celebration that your colleagues will be talking about well into the New Year.
