Whether your team is fully remote, hybrid, or fully office-based, it’s never been more important to keep everyone connected. A virtual team party is a fun and thoughtful way to make sure remote colleagues feel included, appreciated, and part of the celebration.

While in-person office parties are back on the cards for many, virtual team events are still going strong—and with good reason. They’re inclusive, flexible and packed with potential for creativity. From wine tasting and cooking classes to comedy gigs, there’s a virtual option out there for every kind of team.

Plus, supporting small businesses and independent creators through your team celebration is a great way to spread the cheer even further.

To help you plan a party that’s memorable and fun, we’ve rounded up some of the most unique virtual team party ideas out there. Whether you’re looking for something cosy, quirky or completely out-of-the-box, there’s something here to suit your vibe.

1. Wine tasting, with a twist

Host: The Wine Tasting Shop, London
Team members receive a curated wine box in the post before the event, then hop on a call to learn about each bottle from a friendly expert. Themes can be seasonal, regional, or tailored to your team’s tastes—and there’s even a non-alcoholic version.

2. Learn to DJ together

Host: Virtually Together
Perfect for music lovers, this workshop gives your team a crash course in DJing. You’ll get the basics of mixing tracks, learn how to create a playlist for different moods and leave with a fun skill to show off at your next IRL party.

3. Remote mixology session

Host: Sip Social
Your team gets cocktail (or mocktail) kits delivered to their doors, then joins a lively live session with a professional mixologist. It’s hands-on, boozy (if you want) and guaranteed to get the party vibes flowing.

6. Virtual escape room

Host: Houdini’s Escape or The Panic Room Online
Your team works together to solve puzzles, crack clues, and “escape” before time runs out. It’s great for problem-solving, collaboration and a bit of friendly chaos.

15. Virtual wellbeing session

Host: Unmind, Mindful Nation or Just Breathe
Wind down the year with a calming virtual session—think guided meditation, breathwork, sound baths or even group journaling. A great way to support mental health and help your team recharge.

Go big with your next team event

Whether your team’s scattered across time zones or just skipping the commute, remote socials don’t have to be awkward or forgettable. With the right mix of creativity, connection and maybe a few surprise moments, you can build a stronger, happier remote culture—one good vibe at a time.

So go ahead—ditch the forced fun and try something your team will actually look forward to. Remote socials can be just as meaningful (and way comfier) than anything in person. Pyjamas encouraged.
