Tis Always the Season: 5 Occasions to Play White Elephant in 2024
White Elephant is one of the most popular Winter Holiday activities. It’s a fun way to bring your group together, whether family, friends or work colleagues. You have a bunch of laughs and at the end everyone gets a gift! What could be better?
But why limit it to just the holiday season? If you’re looking for a great way to connect with your group any time of the year, it’s a fun low-cost activity that can spice up any occasion. And with White Elephant Online, you can now play it anytime, anywhere, with anyone - completely virtually!
We don’t think you need a reason to plan a fun party with your employees or loved ones, but if you need an excuse, here are a few ideas:
#1 Galentine’s Day (Feb 13)
Galentine's Day is a relatively new holiday - invented by the Amy Poehler character ‘Leslie Knope’ on the beloved sitcom Parks and Recreation in 2010. And this is a perfect year to make Galentine’s day a tradition for you and your best gal pals. Take some time to celebrate their love and friendship, and trade a few gifts! White Elephant Online is the perfect way to get everyone together from across the country and spice up a cold and dreary Saturday night.
#2 - 2024 Quarter 2 Kickoff (April 1)
Calling all corporate badasses: you want to make your employees happy and kickoff the new quarter with a bang? Bring some life to your Quarterly Kickoff with a game of White Elephant. Maintaining the culture of your team and connections among employees is vital to the morale of your company. It’s also been shown to be a critical factor in employee productivity. See for yourself what thousands of companies learned this past holiday season: in the age of remote work and Zoom fatigue, White Elephant Online offers a fresh way to connect and invigorate your team.
#3 Easter (Sunday March 31)
If you can’t get the family together this Easter it may be a bit harder to share a gift basket, have an Easter Egg hunt or color eggs. But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate together! White Elephant isn’t just for the winter Holidays - it can be used for any time of year! Pick a theme that’s Easter-appropriate for you and your group and let the good times begin!
#4 Christmas in July (July 25)
At White Elephant Online we’re all about Christmas in July. What could be better than all of the benefits of beautiful summer weather with the trimmings and cheer of the Holiday season? But to really embrace the spirit you need a good ol’ fashioned White Elephant gift-exchange. Fortunately for you, no matter where you and your loved ones are, you can come together virtually with White Elephant Online.
