Holiday Party Ideas Your Team Will Actually Love
Photo experiences and interactive keepsakes for corporate holiday parties across Hamilton, Burlington, Toronto and the GTA.
Your company's holiday party is one of the few moments in the year where your team gets to simply be together — no agenda, no deliverables, nothing to wrap up. After everything the year asked of everyone, that matters.
If you're planning a 2026 corporate holiday party, the right interactive entertainment can turn a great event into one people genuinely remember. That's why the experiences you create inside that room matter too. Here are five of our favourite corporate holiday party photo experiences — each fully customizable and designed to make your celebration feel a little more special.
The Holiday Bauble: Personalized Photo Ornaments
Guests' photos are instantly printed and transformed into high-quality personalised ornaments on-site — a holiday keepsake that goes home with them and comes back out every December.
Unlike most event giveaways, a personalized bauble is something people actually keep. It carries a little piece of the celebration into a guest's home and holiday traditions for years to come. For corporate events, it offers something increasingly rare: a branded keepsake that feels personal rather than promotional.
Après Ski: A Winter-Inspired Photo Experience
Bring the charm of a mountain chalet to the holiday party — no ski trip required. Alpine-inspired scenery, cozy winter details, and a prop selection designed to transport guests somewhere else entirely: ski goggles, beanies, fuzzy hats, mittens, ski poles.
For an added layer, an AI Après Ski Portrait Experience can place guests into custom winter scenes and turn their photos into unexpected holiday keepsakes. It's a particularly fun choice for teams who love a theme, companies going for a warm and relaxed holiday vibe.
We brought this concept to life for Interac's holiday party at Steam Whistle Kitchen in Toronto — in partnership with Proof Experiences — and it became the most talked-about moment of the evening.
Holiday Sparkle: Live Photo Glittering
A photo is already a great takeaway. But watching it become something completely unique is part of the experience.
With our Live Photo Glittering Experience, guests step in for their portrait, receive a physical print and then watch as a glitter artist hand-embellishes their photo with cosmetic glitter on-site.
Each finished print becomes a one-of-a-kind holiday keepsake guests can take home.
It's interactive, visually beautiful and gives people another reason to gather around, watch and share the experience — especially for holiday parties with a more elevated, glamorous feel.
Noir Noël: An Editorial Holiday Photo Booth
Not every holiday party needs snowflakes and candy canes. For something a little moodier, Noir Noël brings an editorial feel to the holiday photo booth with sophisticated portraits, dramatic styling and a modern black-tie aesthetic.
Think holiday campaign rather than traditional Christmas photo.
It's an especially strong fit for formal corporate celebrations, galas and end-of-year events where the dress code deserves to be photographed.
Poker Night: A Casino-Inspired Photo Experience
A sleek, casino-inspired photo moment where guests step into a polished photo experience and receive custom playing-card style prints — collectible, social, and completely on-theme.
It's a high-impact activation that turns classic casino details into branded keepsakes, creating a guest experience that photographs beautifully and extends the event long after the night ends. A strong fit for formal end-of-year celebrations, client appreciation events, and any party that leans into a Great Gatsby or black-tie aesthetic.
