Experts say Canadians can expect COVID-19 TO alter their office holiday parties this year with many companies shifting to online celebrations or outdoor gatherings

While some people may be feeling "Zoomed out," event planner Lisa Peters told CTVNews.ca that she is working with companies to host virtual office parties that can still be fun and different from previous online get-togethers.

When planning a virtual holiday party, Peters said it is important that the celebration is tailored to the company. She suggests that senior staff get involved by recording video messages looking back at the company’s past year or announce any company awards during the event. Some companies including Microsoft, BDO Canada, Wilson Human Capital Group and the Royal Bank of Canada are planning virtual Christmas parties this year that will involve employee awards, motivational speakers and various games.

Claudia Faustino, an event planner in Toronto and owner of Claudia & Co., told CTVNews.ca that it is possible to host an in-person holiday party amid the pandemic while still adhering to public health measures. Despite some holiday office parties being able to happen indoors, Faustino says companies should have their parties outdoors if they want to celebrate more freely.

While an outdoor party in Canada during the winter months isn’t typical, Plumley said if everyone dresses warm it can successfully be done. She says staff can even build snowmen or snow forts and actually "go back to being a kid and forget work for a bit."

Outdoor gatherings? In Canada? Should be fun!

Oh weird, I was talking to experts who said the exact opposite! See how easy that is to do?

Perhaps companies will shift that party money and give their employees a holiday bonus
