Dear WCF Events, A Holiday Edition
DEAR WCF EVENTS: The holidays are coming sooner than I expected and I have found myself in an endless Google Search of potential virtual event options. Everything seems so cool but I am very concerned that I may choose an experience that only some people on my team will enjoy. I know I can’t please everyone but there are so many specific vendors that I am having a hard time deciding which would be best. My management team loves the idea of wine tasting but I know we have quite a few non-drinkers in the crowd. It seems a bit unfair to ‘treat’ them to a holiday party where the only activity is focused on alcohol. I am also a little nervous about trusting some of these new virtual vendors. I haven’t worked with them before and so many of them are brand new or only recently have pivoted from a different industry. I’ve always trusted working with your team so can you help me plan a virtual party that is fun for everyone? — HOLIDAZED AND CONFUSED
DEAR HOLIDAZED: We absolutely can help you plan a virtual holiday party that has something for everyone using quality virtual vendors we know and trust! Special for this year, we have developed TWO NEW event programs specifically for clients like you:
Virtual Holiday Adventure – Choose Your Own Holiday Experience
Let your employees choose their holiday gift this year! Each member of your team is unique so why not offer a few options so everyone participates in something they truly enjoy! WCF helps you select from multiple themed experiences which are designed specifically to last the duration of your event and your guests are able to sign up for the one experience that matches their interests the most. This option gives you the best of both worlds, wine for your management team and non-alcoholic options for the non-drinking crowd. After their chosen experience comes to an end, everyone gathers together to cheer the holiday season as a group! Some options include:
- Napa Valley Wine Tasting
- Chocolate Tasting
- Beer and Cheese Pairing
- Cooking Demos
- And much more!
Virtual Holiday Fest – A Virtual Tour of Interactive Holiday Experiences
You pick 2-4 experiences for your team to enjoy throughout the evening and we take it from there! Guests participate in these themed, virtual activities one after another, while interacting and mingling with their peers. You can choose a wine tasting and other options so everyone has something to enjoy throughout the event. Engaging activities include:
- Mentalist Show
- Improv Show
- Wine Tasting
- Holiday Pub Trivia
- Holiday Scavenger Hunt
- And much more!
Give your employees an action packed evening (or day) as a thank you for all their hard work this year! Plus we take care of all the set up and logistics to remove the stress from your planning. Our sales team listens to your exact needs to find the perfect event for your group, with or without alcohol!

DEAR WCF EVENTS: 2020 is truly shaping up to be a year unlike any other. To go along with that theme, the bosses have decided for the first time ever to incorporate families into our holiday party celebration. This feels like uncharted territory and I don’t want to make employees who are single or without children feel left out. Should I push back and try to get them to focus on something more traditional or do I start the search for an event that works for everyone? My head is spinning just thinking about it! – THROWN FOR A HOLIDAY LOOP
DEAR THROWN: We love the idea of adding families to this year’s holiday party! While everyone is working from home their families have been right there by their side, so it makes sense to give back to them too! There are a couple different solutions to help meet your management’s goals along with making sure no one feels left out due to their family dynamic:
Virtual Holiday Adventure – Choose Your Own Holiday Experience
The greatest part about offering a few options for your employees to choose from is the different selections! There truly is something for everyone, including families! Your guests are able to sign up for the one experience that best suits their tastes. While some people may choose a wine tasting or improv show, those with families have the option to select a family friendly experience. Everyone comes back together to end the event as a group. Adventures include:
- Napa Valley Wine Tasting
- Chocolate Tasting
- Beer and Cheese Pairing
- Cooking Demos
- Holiday Scavenger Hunt – family friendly!
- Authentic African Safari – family friendly!
- Miss Jamie on the Farm – family friendly!
- Magic Shows – family friendly!
- And much more!
Virtual Holiday Scavenger Hunt
Send your employees on a whirlwind scavenger hunt within their own home! Encourage each team member to enlist the help of their household. Spouses, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Roommates, Children, Pets and plants are all part of the team! The smiles we see on everyone’s faces throughout the event are evidence that this program is perfect for everyone!
Your trusted WCF sale team is available to chat through your goals and objectives to help build the perfect event for your unique team! We look forward to taking the stress out of your holiday planning and even make it fun for you too!
