22 Nov 5 Corporate Christmas Events Decoration Ideas
It’s that time of year – you’re tasked with organising the big Christmas party. The venue is booked, the band is booked, the food is arranged, and the only thing remaining is the decoration. You’re looking at the big empty room and you need some inspiration. Just what kind of Christmas party venue decorations should you go with?
Don’t panic. To get your creative juices flowing, we’ve assembled ten terrific Christmas party venue decoration ideas. It’s time to get started!
Traditional
Think roaring fires, lavishly decorated trees, mantelpieces covered with candles and ribbons… sound familiar?
Everybody loves the classic, romantic movie set Christmas party, with stylish décor and the ambient glow of candlelight. It’s no wonder why most of those charming festive films will have a Christmas party scene that looks just like this.
You can’t go wrong with a classic, so if you want some decoration inspiration that screams stylish and elegant, this is the one for you. The options are boundless, play with festive flowers like poinsettias and roses to create some stunning centrepieces and fill the room with flickering candles. If your venue doesn’t allow real ones then artificial candles work just as well to create the same effect. Keep the colour palette simple with red, green, and gold. And a massive Christmas tree decked out to the nines is a must-have.
Picture your guests milling around a crackling fire with the clinking of champagne glasses, light chatter, and some smooth festive jazz filling the room. Don’t forget to hang some mistletoe in the doorway for those looking for a little Christmassy romance!
Corporate Christmas party decorations set the tone and atmosphere of the event, going beyond mere aesthetics.
Rustic
Keeping on the theme of tradition, a rustic Christmas setting is another cult classic brimming with gorgeous decoration ideas.
The trick with this one is to incorporate lots of foliage and greenery into your table settings and decorations. Pinecones make an excellent dressing for the table or scatter them around the room for a little extra rustic flair. Poinsettias, orchids (believe it or not), ferns, and cyclamens are some of our favourite seasonal flowers so make sure you decorate with lots of these around the space.
Rather than having a grand centrepiece, why not cover the tables with flowers and ferns scattered about in a more casual style? Intersperse some glowing candles (just watch out for a fire hazard!) and you’ll have yourself a stunning rustic setting for a memorable corporate Christmas party.
Copper tumblers, twinkling fairy lights, and wooden furniture are the perfect accents to add to your rustic Christmas get-together. That little bit of country charm will perfectly offset the metropolitan Christmas lights outside!

Candy Land
Christmas is not Christmas without the food, specifically the sweets. A Candyland-themed event may seem a little whacky, but trust us, there are so many unique and fun Christmas decorations to play with here!
The trick is to incorporate lots of colour. Put down those traditional reds and greens that we talked about earlier, and grab something pink or blue! Sounds crazy but go with it. A tree decorated in all the bright, garish colours associated with our favourite sweeties will go down a treat, pardon the pun. Baubles in blues, pinks, and whites, alongside some candy canes and lollipops, will make it a tree like no other, surely the focal point of your Christmas party!
Channel your inner Sugar Plum fairy and decorate with whimsical accents like silvery bows or imposing nutcrackers. Instead of a floral centrepiece, why not have a huge sweet display with giant lollipops, candy canes, and gingerbread men? Serve up some funky cocktails in bright coloured glasses and you’ve got yourself a sweet lover’s fantasy!
Decorations should be candy-themed; lots of candy colours and stripes. Place candy-canes at every table and huge cut-out cupcakes along the walls.
Winter Wonderland
Another firm favourite year after year, a winter wonderland theme is always a front-runner. Unlike the rest, this one is central to a few staple colours like silver, blue, and white. Picture an ice castle and project this onto your corporate Christmas party.
Ice sculptures are a fantastic, showstopping decoration for this theme sure to have your guests’ jaws hit the floor. Decorate the mantlepieces with icicles and deck the halls with silver baubles.
How cool would it be if it snowed too? We don’t mean actual snow, and probably not a snow machine (we don’t think the venues would be particularly happy with the aftermath) but why use lights and a snowflake gobo to cast some snowflakes around the walls? Your guests won’t be able to tell the difference!
Decorate your party space to look like a wintery palace, with white draping, fairy lights, ice sculptures, glittering snowflakes, and cuddly polar bears.
Santa’s Workshop
What’s Santa making in the North Pole? Why don’t you find out! Set up your party room to look like Santa’s workshop – set up a mini grotto at the venue, laden with gingerbread men, elves, and signposts (for the North Pole of course), and you can’t forget the presents! You could even hang some stockings on the mantelpiece if the venue you choose has one.
Get someone to wear a Santa suit. Everyone can take turns getting their picture with Santa – as the night goes on, the pictures will no doubt get sillier and sillier. It can be fun to also supply a few props to make photographs even more interesting.
At each elf “workstation” include different activities that either test the guest’s creativity or team-building talents. Build bridges from popsicle sticks, create your own sushi, or paint each other’s faces. A “Santa’s Workshop” theme is also a great opportunity to get your team into helping out a worthy cause, by having them bring along food and supplies for charity hampers and helping to wrap presents.
If you fancy keeping the Christmas spirit alive, why not hire your very own Father Christmas?
