Small Holiday Party and Virtual Gathering Ideas for Vermont Businesses

(Or, Celebrating During the Pandemic)

Since the pandemic outbreak, many of us have been separated from our fellow employees, and we’ve missed the energy that comes from a shared work environment. Others of us have worked straight through the crisis because our jobs are critical, or simply can’t be done at home. Because we’ve worked so hard, and lived through so much in 2020, we deserve to celebrate the holidays!

This year is finally coming to its end, and that’s certainly on e reason celebrate! And to reward your hard-working employees. Here are some ideas to wind down 2020 and celebrate the beginning of a new year.

Team Gathering At The Bevo Event Venue

For the front-line team forced to keep to their work bubble, the Bevo headquarters offers a great place to host a small team party, and to get away from the work space where you’ve been sequestered for the past 9 months. We’ll work with you to provide socially-distanced party space in a safe, clean environment. And of course, we’ll provide the food and drinks.

Take advantage of our full bar with specialty cocktails or warm holiday drinks. We’ll prepare the perfect single-serve appetizers like hand pies, Thai dumplings, or stuffed sandwiches. For dessert consider cannolis, eclairs, or cupcakes.

Soup buffets are also popular this year, since soups, chowders, and chili can be easily heated and served in pandemic-friendly single servings. And there’s nothing like a comforting bisque or a filling chowder to warm your team in the winter.

A Virtual Holiday Party

Bevo can prepare and send holiday goodies to members of your team for a “virtual party”. Think bento

boxes or tapas baskets for an exotic, warm theme. Spend the money you would have spent on a lavish party on a high-end bottle of wine or ingredients for a holiday-themed cocktail or cider punch along with the happy-making meal! Set up a Zoom gathering, send instructions for prepping the apps (though most can be served at room temperature), and enjoy!

One of our favorite parties-in-a-box is a hearty Mediterranean sampler. Here’s how we like it, though we can customize it for vegetarian-only or vegan guests.
