Office holiday Christmas party bingo ideas and tips.

How to Level Up the Office Holiday Party

Office holiday parties are a strange mix of forced cheer, lukewarm snacks, people pretending to relax, and coworkers who try way too hard. You-know-who shows up in a dress that’s too short, someone has 2 drinks too many, and the IT guy brags about being able to read eveyone’s emails. My Event Bingo turns all of that into something people can laugh about together. It keeps the energy up, keeps everyone engaged, and is a shared way to survive the night.

Our built in Office Holiday Christmas Party game comes with generic entries that fit most workplaces. But every office has its own mix of characters, quirks, and running jokes, so customize the board to match your team. Quiet complainers. Loud laughers. Decor enthusiasts. People who treat the copier like a sacred object. Your bingo card becomes a highlight reel of the things your coworkers do without realizing it.

This Holiday Party idea works for small teams, full departments, hybrid workplaces, corporate gatherings, and awkward potlucks where half the food is beige. It is free, easy, and fits any holiday vibe however your office leans.

Office holiday bingo make it yours

Make It Yours

Office holiday culture has its own script. Your bingo board turns that script into entertainment.

Use the built in call list (A href link to game) when you want a general experience. It includes classic office holiday moments like Karaoke goes badly, Boss tries to be relatable, Someone gets too honest, Ugly sweater too extra, and other classic awkward office party moments.

Customize the board to reflect your real office dynamics. Loud offices edit the call list and add squares like big laughs, plate dropping, leftover negotiations, or someone who treats the party like a networking event. Quiet teams might add squares like pretending to answer an email, slipping away to a desk, silent playlist judgment, or someone hovering near the exit.

Creative workplaces can lean into decor moments. Handmade ornaments. Overdecorated desks. Coordinated color palettes. Someone who takes the theme too seriously.

Family friendly offices can add wholesome moments like showing photos, praising cookies, holiday crafts, kids wearing reindeer antlers, or someone getting glitter everywhere.

Make the board reflect your team. People love spotting familiar behavior in real time.
Office holiday bingo pro tips

Pro Tips

Start the game early so people have something to latch onto before the awkward phase sets in.

Match the board to the party vibe. Calm works with more chill squares. Chaotic and loud works with unfiltered honesty. No need to pretend the office is something it is not.

If food is involved, include moments like cookie crumbs, double dipping, someone asking what something is, or someone trying to balance a plate and a drink.

If your office takes too many photos, add squares like someone taking a selfie, someone forcing a group picture, or someone pretending to be the event photographer.

If there is a gift exchange, include moments like an unwanted gift, instant trades, someone forgetting the rules, or someone unwrapping something meant for another person.
