Holiday party season is almost here — get inspired with these festive ideas.
It may be hard to believe, but the holiday party season is already on the horizon. With many companies still working entirely remotely or some combination of in-person and remote, teams are thinking of new ways to celebrate together.
The right virtual experience can bring your entire team together for the holidays, and it doesn’t have to just be a remote happy hour. Experiences can engage teams, foster a sense of unity, and be an amazing way to celebrate and close out a great year.

Customize your holiday party with Marco
Sometimes one special event is just enough for a holiday celebration, but sometimes the perfect combination of experiences can take a holiday party to the next level.
In 2020, Bain created a magical multi-experience event to celebrate as a team in partnership with Marco. More than 500 employees gathered virtually for five exceptional experiences. The event featured holiday-themed cocktails, an exceptional dinner, an interactive magic show, a bake-off, all finished off with a jazz performance from Lilan Kane.
If you’re looking to create an event that goes beyond Marco’s curated selection of experiences, simply get in touch and we’d love to plan something that’s just right for your team.
