An immersive Christmas experience for corporate Christmas parties in London
Turn your corporate Christmas party into a magical journey through Santa’s world.
Created by The Bubbles Crew, Santa’s Magical Journey is designed for companies looking to create something more memorable for employees and their families at Christmas. Rather than children simply arriving, queuing and meeting Santa, the whole event becomes part of the adventure.
Children collect a Christmas passport and map before following a festive trail through workshops, entertainment, games and encounters with Santa’s elves. At every destination there is something to discover, make or experience — and another all-important sticker to collect.
And at the end of the journey, Santa is waiting.
From London offices and corporate headquarters to hotels, venues and larger company family days, Santa’s Magical Journey can be adapted to create a complete corporate Christmas experience around your space, guest numbers and age groups.
A New Kind of Corporate Christmas Party
The traditional corporate children’s Christmas party has changed.
Companies are increasingly looking for Christmas events that bring employees and their families together while offering much more than a few entertainers and a visit from Santa.
Santa’s Magical Journey brings all those individual elements together into one experience.
The Grotto, workshops, Christmas entertainers, games and activities become different destinations within the same story, allowing families to explore the event rather than simply move from one unrelated activity to another.
It works particularly well for corporate Christmas parties in London, where offices, reception areas, meeting rooms and event spaces can be transformed into different parts of Santa’s world.
A meeting room becomes the Christmas Workshop. A breakout space becomes an activity station. Reception becomes the beginning of the journey.
And somewhere within the building is Santa.
Your Christmas Adventure Begins
Every young traveller needs the right equipment.
On arrival, children receive their Christmas passport, journey map and activity bag.
The map reveals the different destinations waiting to be discovered, while the passport guides them through the experience.
As children travel from one activity to the next, they collect stickers until their Christmas journey is complete.
It’s a simple idea, but immediately gives a children’s corporate Christmas party a sense of adventure.
Children aren’t simply arriving at an event.
They’re setting off on a journey.
Follow the Christmas Trail
Every Santa’s Magical Journey can be designed around the company, venue and number of families attending.
The trail might travel through different rooms, floors or areas of a larger event space, with each destination becoming its own little Christmas world.
One moment children might be creating something with Santa’s elves. Next they could be having their face painted, watching a magician, learning circus skills or completing a Christmas challenge.
Families can explore at their own pace, which makes the format particularly useful for large corporate Christmas parties where guests may be arriving at different times.
And somewhere on the map is the destination everybody is waiting for.
Santa’s Grotto.
Visit Santa’s Christmas Workshop
A stop at the Christmas Workshop gives children the chance to make something of their own.
Activities might include Christmas bauble decorating, Christmas charm bracelets, festive decorations, colouring or Letters to Santa, with workshops adapted for the ages attending.
Hosted by Santa’s elves, the workshop becomes another destination rather than simply a craft table.
For companies planning a corporate family Christmas event, workshops are also a lovely way of creating something children can take home from the day.
A decoration made at Mum or Dad’s office party might even find its way onto the family Christmas tree.
Meet Santa’s Christmas Entertainers
You never quite know who you might encounter on the journey.
Our Christmas children’s entertainers in London can appear throughout the experience, creating little moments of entertainment and surprise.
Festive face painters can add snowflakes, sparkle and Christmas designs. Balloon artists can create something to take away. Magicians can perform close-up magic or gather everyone together for a Christmas show.
Santa’s elves and Christmas characters can welcome families, host activities and help children navigate their maps.
For larger corporate Christmas events, we can also introduce circus performers, puppet shows, roaming entertainment and interactive experiences.
Rather than entertainers simply being booked individually, they become part of the world we’re creating.
Christmas Games & Activities
There should always be plenty of opportunities to play.
Christmas sideshow games can become stops along the journey, with children trying their luck at Reindeer Hoopla, Snow Can Alley and other festive challenges before receiving another passport sticker.
Circus skills can add another interactive element, while younger children can have their own activities and soft play areas.
For older children and teenagers, PlayStation and Xbox gaming zones can also be incorporated.
This variety is particularly important for corporate family events, where the children attending can range from toddlers to teenagers.
There should be something for everyone.
Letters to Santa
Some Christmas traditions are too good to change.
Children can stop along their journey to write a letter to Santa, draw him a picture or make their all-important Christmas list.
Once complete, letters are posted into our Christmas post box, with one of Santa’s elves on hand to make absolutely certain they’re heading towards the North Pole.
Later, when children finally meet Santa, they may already have quite a lot to talk about.
And Finally… Santa
Santa is the finale.
Children can spend time telling him about their Christmas wishes, showing him their completed passport and, if included within the event, receiving a Christmas gift.
There’s time for that all-important photograph too.
We use professional Santa performers and can create everything from traditional Santa’s Grotto hire to a completely immersive Grotto setting designed around the wider event.
For companies searching for Santa visits in London, Santa can form part of a smaller corporate family celebration too. But within Santa’s Magical Journey, his appearance becomes the culmination of the entire experience.
Corporate Christmas Parties in London
Santa’s Magical Journey has been designed to work particularly well for corporate Christmas parties in London.
It can be created for company headquarters, offices, hotels, event venues, property developments and other corporate spaces, with the scale of the experience adapted to suit the number of guests.
For a smaller children’s Christmas office party, we might create a compact trail incorporating crafts, entertainment and Santa.
For a larger company family day, the journey can expand across multiple rooms and include several workshops, shows, games, entertainers, food stations, gaming zones and a fully styled Santa’s Grotto.
Because activities can operate simultaneously, the format also helps manage larger guest numbers without making the event feel overly structured.
Families can explore.
Children can choose what they want to do.
And the journey continues throughout the event.
Transforming the Office for Christmas
One of our favourite things about corporate Christmas parties is seeing a familiar workplace look completely different.
For one afternoon, the everyday office can disappear.
We can introduce Christmas props, themed backdrops, balloon installations, festive signage, Christmas trees, activity stations, theatrical entrances and Santa’s Grotto styling to create a journey through the space.
Corporate branding can also be incorporated into passports, maps, signage, activity materials, backdrops and selected styling details.
The branding should still feel part of Christmas rather than taking over from it.
The aim is to create an experience that feels magical for children while still feeling completely bespoke to the company hosting it.
A Christmas Party for Employees and Their Families
Some of the loveliest corporate Christmas events are those that allow employees to bring their families into the workplace.
Children get to see where Mum or Dad works — although perhaps not quite as it normally looks.
For companies, a corporate family Christmas party creates an opportunity to bring colleagues and families together in a much more relaxed environment.
Santa’s Magical Journey has been designed around exactly this kind of event.
Children have their own adventure to follow, parents can enjoy the experience alongside them and there are activities that different generations can enjoy together.
Create Your Own Santa’s Magical Journey
There isn’t one fixed route to the North Pole.
Every experience can be tailored around your company, venue, guest numbers and the ages of the children attending.
