This year many of us will be starting new traditions: virtual traditions. We might have to spend the holidays apart, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy quality time in cyberspace and still have a festive celebration! These ideas help to keep us connected as friends and family from near and far to enjoy the holiday season together.
Holiday costume party
Whether you choose “ugly sweaters” or another theme, ask your friends and family to dress up before they join. You can even hold a contest for best dressed.
White elephant gift exchange
If you've never participated in a white elephant gift exchange before, this year is the perfect time to try! Draw names and ask attendees to ship a funny gift to their recipient before the party. While you won’t be able to “steal” gifts virtually, you can still enjoy some laughs while you open them.
Holiday traditions party
This is a great way to celebrate with friends from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Ask each guest to share something about their typical holiday festivities, whether it’s a favorite family tradition, recipe or memory.
Small candies
Miniature ornaments
Buttons
Coins
You can even have prizes! If you want to keep it entirely virtual, consider an e-gift card of the winner's choice. Otherwise, you can ship prizes once the game is over.
