Christmas party with BITOU
Christmas party with BITOU – How to make your celebration a festive success
Summer is slowly coming to an end, autumn is already on the cusp and before you know it, Christmas will be just around the corner. Christmas is more than just snow, contemplation and festive cheer – it also marks the end of the year. A Christmas party is the perfect occasion to celebrate successes together, reminisce and look back on the past year. The classic meal together in a festively decorated restaurant is a good opportunity for nice conversations and an exuberant atmosphere, but a Christmas party can offer much more than that.
Whether you want to help Santa find stolen presents, solve a wintry murder mystery or enjoy the festive atmosphere in an entertaining quiz show – BITOU offers the right programme for every taste to bring the year to an atmospheric close.

3 Magical insider tips for your Christmas party
But what would Christmas be without the little touches that show appreciation and bring joy? That’s why BITOU has three secret tips for you that will breathe the magic of Christmas into your Christmas party:
1. The compliment pot: Write down all the names of the participants and put them in a pot. At the beginning of the party, everyone is allowed to draw a name from the pot and must give a compliment to the person drawn during the evening. This can range from the beautiful shoes to the great work on the last project. This ensures a smile and starts new conversations.
2. The moments pinboard: Provide a pin board and a few pieces of paper and ask your colleagues to write down their favourite moments from the past year and hang them up. Collect the best and most successful moments in your team and share them with everyone. Alternatively, this idea can also be done digitally and then sent to all participants so that this collection can be looked back on for a long time to come.
3. Christmas tradition Secret Santa: Everyone is probably familiar with the classic Secret Santa. Whether it’s a scrap from the cellar or an impersonal biros that ends up on the Secret Santa table, nobody is really happy about it. But have you ever tried sharing your own Christmas traditions with others? The participants should bring a gift that reflects their own Christmas tradition. Be it home-baked biscuits, the sock above the fireplace or a Christmas story that is read every year. This provides the ideal basis for conversations that go beyond everyday working life. Ask about the story behind your prize and find out more about your colleague.
