There are various Christmas themed team building activities available and this year there seems to be a trend to do something business relevant instead of the traditional Christmas party because it seems less frivolous.
One obvious option is Christmas chocolate making, or a festive themed cooking event. This is a good choice because it is also an indoor event. Treasure hunts can be themed and there is a Hunt The Turkey event where the objective is to collect ingredients such as sprouts, parsnips and stuffing by completing various team challenges before a grand finale of hunting down a person is a turkey costume hiding in the grounds of a hotel. This is great fun, as you can imagine.
Fun Christmas team building activities can be combined with a Christmas lunch or just mince pies and mulled wine to give a festive event for a team which is a business linked event rather than just a jolly. You don’t have to miss out on the fun either – most people will find it a refreshing change.

There are always trends in corporate fun team building activities and there’s no doubt that cooking has been the most popular trend of 2009 and in particular chocolate making events.
Chocolate Making Event
This event is suitable for small groups, working as one team, through to large groups of a couple of hundred where the group is divided into teams.
Plenty of equipment is provided and all sorts of varied ingredients. A Master Chocolatier gives a lesson in chocolate making and then oversees proceedings over the course of the event. The objective is to make a luxury box of handmade chocolates.
To give the task variety we can include an Apprentice style marketing challenge to the event, so teams have to come up with branding and present their product to a panel of judges.
Chocolate making is popular as a team building event because it appeals to a wide group of people. It is a good choice in the winter because it is an indoor activity and it can be themed; Christmas chocolate making is great fun.

The Chocolate Making Event can be held in venues around the UK, for example hotels and conference centres. Because there is no significant cooking element we do not need to use a specialist venue, so it is fairly flexible.
Chocolate making is an enjoyable team building event, and participants get to take their chocolates home for their family to enjoy … if they last that long!
