5 Corporate Christmas Party Ideas in OKC That Employees Actually Want to Attend
Ditch the boring catered dinner. Here is how to plan a company holiday party in Oklahoma City that gets your team talking, laughing, and genuinely enjoying the night.
Let’s be honest: the standard corporate Christmas party often feels like an obligation rather than a celebration. If your company’s holiday party plan usually consists of renting a ballroom, ordering catering, and hoping people mingle, it might be time for a change.
At Boing City, we’ve provided entertainment for some of Oklahoma City’s largest companies — including Paycom, State Farm, and PepsiCo. We’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to corporate holiday party rentals in OKC. The secret to a successful company party isn’t a better menu or an open bar; it’s providing structured, engaging activities that break the ice and give people something to do together.
If you’re tasked with planning this year’s company holiday event, here are five ideas that will actually get your team excited to attend.
Plan Early for December Dates
December weekends are the busiest time of year for corporate event venues and rental companies in Oklahoma City. We highly recommend locking in your entertainment and venue by late September or early October to ensure you get exactly what you want.
1. The Indoor “Country Club” Experience
Oklahoma winters are unpredictable, which is why indoor entertainment is always the safest bet for corporate parties. You can transform any large indoor space — a rented hall, a hotel ballroom, or even a cleared-out warehouse — into an exclusive indoor country club.
The centerpiece for this theme is our LED 9-Hole Mini Golf course. It looks incredible in low lighting, takes up a manageable footprint, and provides an activity that literally everyone in the company can participate in, regardless of age or athletic ability. Pair it with Putterball (a golf-themed version of beer pong) to create a complete golf-themed entertainment zone that encourages friendly competition between departments.
2. The Winter Wonderland Immersive Event
If you have outdoor space available — like a large parking lot or company campus — you can create a genuine winter wonderland experience that feels like a massive production.
The anchor for this event is the 30×30 Winter Maze, a 30×30-foot walk-through inflatable maze built for winter events. To push the theme over the top, add a Snow Machine near the entrance to create a falling-snow effect as employees arrive. This kind of immersive environment immediately sets a festive tone that a standard indoor venue simply can’t match.

Why Structured Activities Matter at Work Parties
They Break the Ice
Activities give employees from different departments a natural reason to interact without the pressure of forced small talk.
They Level the Hierarchy
When the CEO and the new intern are competing at Putterball or axe throwing, corporate hierarchy naturally relaxes.
They Create Memories
People rarely remember what they ate at a company party, but they always remember who won the mini golf tournament.
3. The Indoor Carnival / Midway
Bring the state fair indoors with a complete midway setup. By renting a Carnival Game Package (like our Big Top 6 or Field House 6), you can set up multiple activity stations around your venue. This includes games like the basketball shootout, soccer challenge, and axe throw. The brilliance of this approach is that it prevents bottlenecks — guests can move freely from station to station, keeping energy high and preventing the party from feeling stagnant.
4. The Family-Inclusive Holiday Festival
Many modern companies are shifting away from evening, adults-only parties in favor of weekend, family-inclusive holiday festivals. If you go this route, you need entertainment that caters to both adults and children. A combination of the 18′ Gingerbread Slide, the Winter Wonderland Bouncer, and interactive games ensures the kids are completely entertained, allowing the parents (your employees) to actually relax and socialize with their coworkers.
5. The “Friendly Competition” Tournament
Turn your holiday party into a structured tournament. Set up the LED Mini Golf, Putterball, and All Star Hoops, and have departments compete against each other for a trophy or extra PTO day. This format guarantees high engagement and gives the event a clear focal point. Boing City handles the delivery, setup, and teardown of all the games, so your event committee just has to manage the bracket.
