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 cancelled ours - it was going to be a large gathering with multiple companies in one of those hotel ‘Christmas party’ situations. We cancelled yesterday morning, so we got out in front of Boris’s slightly confusing new ‘rules’.

    As someone said on Twitter “if you wanted a Christmas party last year you had to pretend it was a business meeting. If you want a business meeting this year, you need to pretend it’s a Christmas party”…!
