Make Virtual Gatherings More Festive

Dollar Saving Divas & More

Most of us are trying to figure out how to connect with family in the midst of a pandemic.

Step outside the ordinary, the usual.

By now, given we are months in this pandemic, adults, children, and even some pets have spent hours virtually on different devices. Being able to connect virtually is a blessing during a pandemic.

Virtual fun (alcohol may or may not be involved)

• Virtual karaoke
• Online toasts
• Share an online meal together (or all order from same restaurant or type of restaurant)
• Bring on acting chops and have a dramatic holiday reading
• Wine tasting
• Make it a pajama party
• Host a charity donation party (eg., I’ll give you 10 bucks if you sing a holiday song for us, dress as an elf, send us all cookies beforehand, etc.). Have each member donate all the money to charity
• Curate a holiday play list and send to everyone before your event/party. Get everyone to add their favorites.
• Have a Scavenger hunt
• Make it a dessert party (make together or make and send to everyone to eat together during the party)
• Entertainment night – family members contribute- who can sing? play an instrument? do performance art? (or think they can). Bring on the amateur hour! On the other hand, I only found out as an adult that my family were just being polite when I played my accordion every Christmas!
• Have an interactive gratitude party. Here is a super creative and fun list of different virtual gratitude activities, which were designed for Thanksgiving, but work equally well for all holidays. Why gratitude? It’s a great way to tap into a well of warmth and love, and when we express gratitude, we feel closer to others. That is the point, isn’t it?
• Play a virtual game together –movie game trivia or holiday trivia, charades, Pictionary, online holiday bingo
• Have a contest for best customized background (no green screens please!)
