Office Holiday Events at SPIN
Holiday Party Ideas for Your Office
Ping pong and easy side games get the whole office joining in at the holiday party.
Build your office holiday party around active social play instead of a sit-down dinner. Combine a ping pong tournament, easy side games, and shareable food. Coworkers can play a mix of activities, including Ping Pong, Connect 4, and Jenga.
Office Holiday Party Ideas at SPIN
The core office holiday party ideas at SPIN combine a ping pong tournament, easy side games, chef-driven shareable plates, a short awards toast, and custom company branding.
You can organize your gathering around five main elements:
- A ping pong tournament led by SPIN Pros, who are on hand for select sessions.
- A rotation of easy games for anyone sitting out: tabletop shuffleboard, Atari Pong, giant Connect 4, and giant Jenga.
- Warm, shareable plates from the chef-driven scratch kitchen that guests can grab between games without sitting down.
- A short toast with a few light-hearted year-end awards, using the venue’s audio/visual system.
- Custom company branding on paddles, balls, and table decals to personalize the space.
Each venue has party planners who handle the event. SPIN has eight venues located in Boston, Chicago, New York Flatiron, New York Midtown, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Toronto. Private events can be booked for any group size, including time slots outside normal operating hours. To book, pick your city in the SPIN venue directory and contact that venue’s party planners. The SPIN holiday parties page shows every venue and the current offer.
Group Ping Pong Tournaments for Holiday Gatherings
A holiday ping pong tournament gives your coworkers a shared activity that naturally sparks friendly competition across teams. You do not need experienced players to make a tournament successful.
SPIN Pros lead competitions, tournaments, and social play, and they are on hand for select sessions. As an organizer, you could split the tournament bracket by team or department.
Paddles are Stiga, and balls are unlimited. Staff keep ball baskets stocked so play is uninterrupted.
Social Games for Guests Who Skip Ping Pong
Coworkers who skip ping pong still have games to join, so nobody feels pressured to step up to a table.
The other games at SPIN are tabletop shuffleboard, Atari Pong, giant Connect 4, and giant Jenga.
Beyond games, venues feature photo booths and interactive installations where guests can gather between activities. You could take a team photo at the photo booth. A house DJ supplies the music.
Custom Company Branding and Year-End Awards
At SPIN, companies can add custom branding to paddles, balls, and table decals with a company logo and message. The branded paddles and table decals also show up in your team photos.
Organizers can also use the venue’s audio/visual system for presentations or music. You could hand out a few light-hearted year-end awards during a short toast. You could also set a holiday dress theme such as ugly sweaters.
Fresh Food and Drinks for a Moving Room
Shareable, snackable plates let guests eat between games whenever they feel hungry, with no sit-down dinner required.
SPIN features a chef-driven scratch kitchen designed specifically around dishes that are easy to eat while standing or chatting near the action. The culinary team clearly labels items that avoid gluten, as well as vegan and vegetarian options, making it simple for coworkers to navigate the menu. The kitchen uses dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, fish, and shellfish, so guests should tell the team about allergies. Full-service bars offer craft cocktails, premium spirits, and other drinks.
Book a holiday event by October 31 and choose one enhancement on the house: a welcome cocktail circulating as guests arrive, a Baked Brie Bite, Cookies & Cream (house-made cookies), or a SPIN tote. The holiday event promotion applies at the seven US venues and excludes Toronto.
Flexible Office Holiday Party Ideas for Small and Multi-City Teams
For small gatherings, party packages accommodate 4 to 20 guests on most weekends, running Friday evening through Sunday at select venues. These packages are bookable 30 days ahead and come with a bar package, stationed food, a section with dedicated ping pong tables, extra seating, and unlimited balls. You can review options on the Chicago party packages page or reserve standard tables for groups of up to 10 guests.
If your company has offices in several cities, you can hold a party at the SPIN venue in each city. You can book events through dedicated local pages like Boston holiday parties, New York holiday parties, or San Francisco holiday events. See our guide to parties that span multiple office locations.
As a thank-you gift idea, code GCHOLIDAY25 gives 25% off SPIN gift cards through December 31, for in-house purchases at US locations only, not valid for pre-planned events. Keep in mind that SPIN is family-friendly and becomes a 21+ venue after 9 PM.
Planning Timeline and Booking Steps
You book a SPIN holiday party in four steps with the party planners at your chosen venue. Holiday dates are the busiest of the year, so contact the party planners early for the best chance at your preferred date.
- Choose your city from the SPIN venue directory.
- Contact the party planners through that venue’s private events page.
- Share your expected headcount, preferred dates, and any timing requests.
- Receive a quote from the venue’s event team.
Who SPIN Is Not For
SPIN is designed for active social gatherings rather than seated formal dinners. Groups seeking a quiet three-course banquet with assigned seating should reserve a hotel ballroom instead. If your group needs speeches as well as play, party planners can book a semi-private space with the A/V system.
