It wouldn’t be Christmas without belting Mariah Carey at the top of your lungs after one too many mulled wines. One way of really breaking the ice (and your co-workers ear drums) is a little bit of festive karaoke.

Depending on the size of your company, you could even recreate your very own Band Aid. If performing in front of your entire company sounds like ‘the nightmare before Christmas’, then check out SingPod, who provide private karaoke booths for parties.
