🎅 Daily Christmas boost: a Christmas message or photo of the day

Create a special Christmas group where everyone can share a Christmas message or festive photo. Think photos of beautifully decorated workplaces or a funny Christmas sweater. This provides a happy dose of Christmas cheer on the timeline.

🎁 Advent calendar: surprises and inspiration for everyone

Make the Christmas group an interactive advent calendar! Share something special every day, such as inspiring reading, listening or watching tips, a nice poem, a small gift for the wards, or even a homemade online game. Involve as many colleagues as possible and let hidden talents and passions come to the fore!
Extra tip: link the content to your organization's core values.

A few examples:

  • Christmas movie
  • Christmas activities, including nearby Christmas markets
  • Christmas Recipes
  • Tutorials for making Christmas decorations, gifts, or other creative projects

Or ask questions like: “What's your most bizarre Christmas memory?”, “What do you wear for Christmas?” whether “Who would you invite to Christmas dinner?”

📖 A Christmas cookbook by and for colleagues

Ask colleagues to share their favorite Christmas recipe, complete with a photo and a personal story. Bundle these into a digital Christmas cookbook. With tools like Canva, you can format the whole thing beautifully and share it as a PDF. A perfect end-of-year gift for everyone!

❄️ Christmas Angel of the Week

Put your colleagues in the limelight! Have colleagues create a digital “thank you wall” where they can thank each other for their efforts over the past year. A wonderful way to show appreciation and spread positivity during the holidays. Collect all the Christmas angels in a widget on the home page.

🥚 Easter egg action

Make it even more interactive with a fun easter egg promotion. Hide funny or surprising Christmas items on the intranet, such as Christmas presents or snowflakes. This allows users to discover the structure and content of the platform in a playful way, while having fun searching. Add a giveaway: Whoever finds the most easter eggs or is the fastest investigator wins a festive prize!
