25 Fun Virtual Holiday Party Ideas

December 10, 2020 · In: Entertaining, Holiday Planning

Throw a virtual holiday party everyone will actually want to attend with these 25 must-haves.

You don’t have to have guests physically together to throw a great holiday party. Once you’re willing to try, it’s surprisingly easy, convenient, and fun to celebrate the holidays via your favorite video chat app.

Now all you need is entertainment, and I’ve got 25 suggestions.

My 25 Virtual Holiday Party Ideas

  1. Board game tournament with Taboo, Scattergories, or Codenames
  2. Karaoke (with as many funny house rules as you can think of)
    • My personal fave is Last Word, where you create an entirely new line that still rhymes with the original version.
    • A funny example is Chestnuts roasting on an open fire / Next to Grandpa’s pantyhose (Instead of Jack Frost nipping at your nose)
  3. Competition-style holiday baking (complete with judges)
  4. Holiday Pictionary
  5. Ugly sweater fashion show
  6. Never Have I Ever
  7. Holiday Cocktail or Recipe Share (presented like a cooking class or Food Network show)
  8. Virtual Secret Santa with e-gift cards, subscriptions, or eBooks
  9. Stream a holiday movie
  10. Learn how other cultures celebrate the holidays
  11. Holiday Remake (Imagine non-holiday movies as holiday ones, like Star Wars taking place “12 months ago in a snow globe far, far away”)
  12. Don’t Say That!
    • Avoid common words like “presents”, “tradition”, or “snow.” Every time someone says a buzzword, they have to do an embarrassing task, like dancing in front of the camera without music.
  13. Chubby Elf
    • Guess which holiday story or quote someone is reading while they have treats stuffed in their mouth
  14. Share your family’s best (or worst) holiday traditions
  15. Try funny filters or photo apps like Elf Yourself
  16. Holiday Bingo
  17. Holiday Trivia (with virtual buzzers)
  18. Best Background or Desk Décor Contest
  19. Send everyone a gift box to open once the party starts
  20. It All Runs Together
    • Like the Before & After category from Wheel of Fortune, start this game with a themed phrase or song title, and using the last word or syllable, take turns keeping the chain going for as long as possible.
    • This can get hilarious, and any phrases after the first don’t have to be holiday-themed. It’s extra challenging if you say the entire chain from the beginning on each turn.
  21. 5 Minute Decorating Showdown (to quickly and competitively declutter or spruce up the house)
  22. Google’s Window Wonderland
  23. Play 20 Questions To Guess A Gift
  24. Collaborate on Virtual Cards With Canva
  25. Solve A Virtual Murder Mystery

What Are Your Must-Haves?

Drop them in the comments below so we can all try them during our next family Zoom session.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
