Here is how this bit of online holiday party shenanigans works:
First we start of with Gingerbread Figure Cookie Decorating
Then we fill your house with the sounds and smells of the holidays . Finally we add a splash of holiday cheer (adult beverages optional!)
And Voilá you have a memorable virtual holiday party for your team or family.
Guests arrive and after a brief explanation of the event, Chef Jesse guides everyone through an introduction and icebreaker.
Then we unpack the mystery boxes...This shipped cookie decorating kits reveal a pumpkin spice quick bread mix, a mini loaf pan to bake it in and a homemade apple cider kit that is rather adult beverage friendly.
Guests are guided through setting the apple cider on the stove and baking the pumpkin bread. While guests commence to decorate their Gingerbread human our team facilitates a customized holiday themed trivia. Gingerbread decorating show and tell is the next step before the awards presentations. Awards are given for most enthusiastic holiday costuming, best decorated gingerbread man, and of course, trivia winner.
