Title: Season for celebrating: Corporate holiday party undergoes post-COVID evolution.
Authors: Stall, Sam
Source: Indianapolis Business Journal. 11/7/2025, Vol. 46 Issue 38, p17A-22A. 3p.
Subjects: Holiday parties, Generation Z, COVID-19, Non-alcoholic beer, Crowds, Interpersonal relations
Abstract: The article discusses the evolving nature of corporate holiday parties in the post-COVID era, highlighting a shift towards more inclusive, casual, and experiential gatherings. With over 73,000 attendees at a recent student event in Indianapolis, the article notes that companies are adapting to changing employee preferences, particularly among Generation Z, who favor alcohol-free options and family-friendly celebrations. Event planners are responding to inflationary pressures by offering flexible pricing and creative themes, while many firms are opting to hold their celebrations outside of December to alleviate stress and costs. Overall, the focus has shifted from traditional formalities to creating meaningful connections among employees. [Extracted from the article]
