Organizing a Christmas event

Why organize a Christmas event?

A Christmas event is more than a festive end to the year. It is an opportunity to put employees or partners in the spotlight, reflect together, and look ahead. In addition, a warm Christmas event strengthens the team spirit and the sense of unity within the organization.

At TotaalBeleving, we translate your wishes into a creative concept that fits your company culture. Think of: a winter setting full of lights and Christmas trees, culinary highlights with mulled wine or an elaborate dinner, and entertainment that creates a magical atmosphere.

Ideas for an unforgettable Christmas event

Depending on the group size and objectives, there are countless ways to organize a Christmas event.

Some popular options include:

• Christmas reception 2.0 – beautifully styled with winter snacks, drinks, and Christmas decorations.
• Winter tastings – mulled wine, Christmas cocktails, or winter beers with matching bites.
• Live entertainment – think of a Christmas choir, DJ, or acoustic performance.
• Christmas-themed teambuilding – creative workshops, quizzes, or games such as Who is the Christmas Mole?.
• Christmas gala or walking dinner – chic, stylish, and fully catered.

Whether you choose an intimate gathering or a large celebration, we create a complete concept where everything fits perfectly.

Tailor-made venues and styling

Thanks to our network of unique venues, we always find a location that suits your Christmas event. From atmospheric halls and historic buildings to modern hotspots and industrial spaces — anything is possible. Naturally, we also provide the right styling: Christmas trees, string lights, fire pits, and table decorations create the perfect atmosphere.
