Christmas Party 2021! Cancel, or not?

I am seeing articles in City AM and the FT of large companies (EY, Slaughter & May), who are cancelling their large firm wide Christmas parties in favour of smaller teams parties this year (due to Omicron, or Covid generally).

We are only a headcount of 60 and are still deciding what to do. What are you doing?

  • We had already decided that there would be no 2021 company Christmas party as we were unsure what would happen later in the year. We also still have mandatory mask wearing for all staff on site so it was counter-intuitive to then scrap that for a party for nearly 80 people.

    Some of us are doing our own mini Christmas between departments. So for example myself and our HSE/Quality team are going for a Christmas meal together and our Customer Support teams are doing their own things as well.
