Three Ways to Boost Holiday Party Energy — Roger’s Rules Inside
Holiday event season has officially arrived — that magical mix of festive chaos, last-minute decisions, and the yearly search for something FUN that actually works.
Whether your event is fully planned or still coming together, here are three ways to instantly lift the energy, connection, and fun of your holiday celebration — using Engagement Unlimited’s most loved tools.
1. Start With Energy
Roger’s Rule: Engagement Is a Superpower
There’s nothing like crossing the threshold of a party and instantly feeling the energy shift — and that’s exactly what our Roving Characters are built for.
Santa, elves, Bad Santa, Jack Frosts, the Grinch, Mounties, Celebrity spoof-a-likes, Red Carpet Hosts… they welcome your guests with FUN, laughter, and magnetic energy that gets people smiling as they arrive at your event!
This isn’t background entertainment.
This is instant engagement that sets the tone for the whole night.
Engagement Advantage Tip:
Active engagement at the door boosts energy, lowers awkwardness, and primes the crowd for FUN.
(And yes — this is one of our most effective holiday add-ons because clients LOVE the transformation it creates.)
2. Movement = Magic
Roger’s Rule: Movement Is Necessary
Want a room full of energy?
Get people moving, cheering, jumping in, and playing.
That’s exactly what our (game) shows deliver:
• Family/Friendly Feud → Teams rush the stage and scream with joy when they get the top answer
• Name That Tune → The minute the music hits, people leap out of their seats to sing along
• Pop Trivia → Yes, we have a paper airplane contest that has people literally jumping up and down and shouting like they’re courtside at the Canucks
• Murder You → Half of this event is a free-for-all where junior detectives split up and question the suspects as they try to piece together an intricate, challenging, super fun mystery
These moments aren’t random — they’re engineered engagement.
Engagement Advantage Tip:
Movement increases energy, connection, retention, and fun. That’s why our game shows are designed to activate the whole room.
3. Let Everyone Enjoy the Celebration
Roger’s Rule: The More Fun YOU Have… The More Fun THEY Have
Hiring a professional emcee isn’t just a luxury — it transforms the entire event.
Our EMCEES create:
• Seamless flow
• High energy
• Fun and connection
• A room where people feel pulled in, not talked at
And clients tell us the same thing every year:
“We’ll never use an internal emcee again.”
Why?
Because when you force a team member onto the stage, they’re working — not celebrating. And the rest of the team loses one of their own from the audience… (& because our professional emcees are Spectacularly Engaging!)
Our emcees handle everything — the energy, the transitions, the fun — so your team can relax and enjoy the night they earned.
Engagement Advantage Tip:
A professional emcee amplifies energy, connection, and participation — freeing your team to be part of the celebration instead of running it.

Capture the Energy of the New Office
The workplace has changed. Remote and hybrid work are no longer experiments — they’re the new normal. Research shows that working from home or in flexible settings isn’t just tolerated anymore — it’s thriving.
But here’s the opportunity: if remote work is thriving, then the moments your team does gather — whether in-person, hybrid or virtual — have never been more important.
As Julius Solari says, “Events are the new office.”
If that’s true, then filling those events with engagement is job number one.
Because Engagement is a Superpower… that grows with practice & use.
____________________________________________________________
Why It Matters
When teams work remotely, the energy, connection & shared purpose that once came from hallway chats or in-office huddles must be intentionally built.
Without structure & engagement, virtual or hybrid meetings can drift, attendees can tune out, and your team’s momentum can slip.
On the flip side: when you bring engagement into your meetings & gatherings, you amplify trust, collaboration & performance.

The Power of Engagement
Engagement is a SUPERPOWER that creates:
- ✅ Better learning
- ✅ Deeper connections

The numbers don’t lie:

- 🔷 41% surge in innovation

- 🔷 147% higher earnings per share than competitors

💬 What Our Clients Say
“Huge success – AWESOME team-building event – staff talked about it for weeks after. People who didn’t work together connected for the first time. INCREDIBLE bonding experience. PERFECT TO GET TO KNOW OUR REMOTE STAFF AND HAVE THEM FEEL PART OF THE TEAM. AMAZING for introverts! It was a perfect no-stress way of interacting with others. The actual building of the Mud Pie Kitchens gave you something to focus on, which really allowed casual conversations. So much better than just standing around and talking. It removed all that social pressure by giving us a task to focus on, which allowed for real conversations to occur. EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.”
— Janice Harrington, Director, Toronto Stock Exchange Ventures – MudPie Kitchens for Kids
“This was definitely the BEST team building exercise I’ve done not just at Oracle, but in my 15-year sales career. It was FUN, ENGAGING, and everyone felt GOOD afterward. It was a perfect blend of needing to concentrate on the work/teamwork and enjoying the experience. CREATIVE and worthwhile.”
— Opening Keynote “The Power of Play” + MudPie Kitchens & Buddy Benches
“Your team EXCEEDED my expectations and ELEVATED the event to a whole new level. ENGAGING, entertaining, and our attendees enjoyed the personal interaction. I would recommend your company to ANYONE!”
— Susanne Pengelly, EA Games – Themed Event with Roving Characters
