Holiday celebrations with the barkada

It’s the season of get-togethers! While restrictions are easing up, many still resort to party at the comfort of their homes using online meeting apps.  Whether you are hosting a party with workmates or friends, below are some ideas on how we can still share the happiness online this Christmas:

Create a party theme
Nothing beats a party with some serious display of creativity.  Hollywood glam, KPop, retro, pajama or ugly sweater – whatever the theme, give your friends a reason to dress up. Just get the consensus of your crowd. Once the theme is settled, send out a “save the date” invite.  You can also attach a look-book or mood board to keep everyone inspired.

Book food delivery
A party is not complete without food. Now that the date has been set, it is time to book the McDonald’s Holiday Group Offers. Even if participants are in multiple locations, you can order for delivery solo meals such as Burger Mcdo, Cheeseburger, McSpaghetti, Chicken Mcdo with Rice, Apple Pie, and more.  Thanks to technology, it is now possible to enjoy this offer via the McDelivery app or website.  Just go to Send To Many, schedule your delivery and select from the meals for your party.  For your face to face salu-salo, you can order the big bundles Meals for Sharing.

Add some icebreakers
Like IRL gatherings, you can spice up the virtual party to keep your friends and yourself entertained. Give out awards like best-dressed, or sweetheart of the party. Tailor the awards according to your theme.  You can also flash photos that always make the group crack up to keep the hangout fun.  Keep the fun going by raffling prizes.  Just use an online random picker to help you determine the winner in real time.

Make the event memorable
Memories last a lifetime. Do a watch-along and record a reaction video or record songs together.  Whatever you plan as main event, you are creating memories with your friends.  Record the virtual session and capture some of the moments for posterity.  Go a step further by creating a virtual time capsule. Record a memoir to your future selves or for your friendship.

End on a sweet note
Take everyone’s solo photo and as a group.  Upload on your social media or create an FB group as repository to all the fun of the evening.  Wrap up the party with the Pinoy-inspired McDonald’s holiday desserts with a sundae, iced coffee or Frappe. Make sure to add this to your multiple bookings for a sweet holiday cheer.
