The end of summer is often the best time to plan for your corporate holiday party before the best venues are completely booked in the coming months. A well-executed corporate Christmas party not only boosts employee morale but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and appreciation. To help you make this year's celebration unforgettable, we've curated a list of top holiday party ideas that we can host at one of the various venues under the Heart of Niagara umbrella.

Masquerade Ball Magic

Elevate your corporate Christmas party to a sophisticated level with a masquerade ball theme. Encourage employees to dress to the nines and our event planners at Parkway Conference Centre will provide elegant masks upon arrival. With dimmed lighting, live music, and gourmet cuisine, this idea is sure to create an air of elegance and enchantment. Check out 2023’s holiday menus.  

Winter Wonderland Extravaganza

Transform one of our meeting rooms into a dazzling winter wonderland. Think snowflake decorations, frosted centerpieces, and a palette of whites and icy blues. Incorporate fun activities like snowman-building contests and hot chocolate stations to create a festive ambiance. Our event planners can assist with finding the perfect decor.

Ugly Sweater Bowling

Embrace the quirky charm of the season with an ugly sweater-themed bash at Parkway Social. Encourage employees to don their most outrageous holiday sweaters and participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange. It's a great way to infuse laughter and lightheartedness into your celebration.

Global Holiday Fusion

Celebrate the diversity within your company by incorporating holiday traditions from around the world. Set up different booths representing various cultures' customs and let the Heart of Niagara banquet team host buffet action stations. This event not only fosters inclusivity but also educates employees about different holiday practices.

Casino Royale Gala

Roll the dice on a night of glamour and intrigue with a Casino Royale-themed party. Set up gaming tables like blackjack and roulette, and encourage employees to dress like they're ready to hit the casino floor. Top the night with some Vegas-style entertainment such as Las Vegas Showgirls. You can also use play money for friendly competition and prizes.

Volunteer and Give Back

Embrace the spirit of giving by organizing a volunteer activity followed by a heartwarming celebration. Choose a local charity or cause to support, and have employees participate in a volunteer event. Afterward, gather for a casual festive party in Ostins to reflect on the meaningful contributions made to the community.
