Remote Workers Party Like It’s 2025: Christmas Budgets Soar
According to a fresh survey by Avva Experience, companies are rolling out the red carpet for holiday fun — raising their festive spend by a whopping 142% compared to earlier in the year.
Key Numbers You Should Know
- Average spend per employee for the New Year bash: £58 (up from £24 for events earlier in the calendar).
- Virtually 30% of holiday parties are scheduled on Thursday, proving it’s the most popular day for “remote glory.” Mondays? F—ed the most flop.
- escape rooms and virtual challenges top the poll with 35% of organisations opting for brain‑tweaking fun over cocktail‑making or wine‑tasting.
- Industries like media, advertising and investment banking are the big spenders: £75, £70, and £63 per person respectively.
CEO’s Take
Avva Experience’s CEO & co‑founder Barnaby Sellers weighs in: “Virtual Christmas soirées are a surefire way for companies to shout out thanks to their crew and toast to the season.”
He adds, “It’s a toast to morale, a nod to achievements – and as remote work becomes the new normal, bringing dispersed teams together digitally is becoming a norm. It’s genuinely encouraging!”
