9 Christmas-Inspired Employee Awards

With the end of the year approaching, so is Christmas, which means families, sports teams, and businesses will commence Christmas celebrations. For business owners, a common activity to implement during a company Christmas party is an award ceremony, which is a lot of fun, but it takes a good deal of creativity on the business owner’s part. If you are having a mental block, here are some Christmas-inspired employee award ideas! 

1. Mr./Mrs. Christmas 

This award goes to the employee who is always there to boost morale in the office. He/she is always ready to be a cheerleader, an inspirational leader, or motivational speaker when needed. Because of their extreme positivity, this person gets to be named Mr./Mrs. Christmas.  

2. The Rudolph Award 

The thing that made Rudolph different from the other reindeer was the very thing that made him a good leader for Santa’s sleigh. Because of his bright nose, Rudolph was able to light the way for the other reindeers. That is why the Rudolph award goes to the strongest leader in your company…the one who lit the way even in dark times. 

3. Santa’s Little Helper  

Santa’s Little Helper is the person who has “helped” the company the most by going the extra mile time and time again for customers.  

4. The Mrs. Claus Award 

Every office has a mother figure amongst them – that person who works hard, yet always has a minute to listen to a co-worker’s concerns or give a warm hug on a stressful day. This is the employee who receives the Mrs. Claus Award. 

5. Hardest Working Elf  

The Hardest Working Elf award goes to the person who, well, works really hard! Perhaps it could go to the salesperson with the highest numbers during the past year or to the new entry-level employee who has often been working overtime to go above and beyond.  

6. The Abominable Snowman  

This person simply loves winter. They go sledding with their children, hit the ski slopes often, and always look forward to the cold weather brought on by winter! What better title for this person than The Abominable Snowman? 

7. Finest Christmas Fare 

One of the most enjoyable additions to the holiday season is the delicious goodies. The employee who often graces the office with the yummiest creations receives the Finest Christmas Fare award.  

8. Christmas Tree Climber  

This award goes to the employee whose hard work has led them to make leaps and bounds during the past year. Giving this person the Christmas Tree Climber award is a way to call well-deserved attention to the incredible strides they have made. 

9. Most-Beloved Christmas Tradition  

The older the tradition, the more beautiful and special it is. Therefore, the Most-Beloved Christmas Tradition goes to the employee who has been with your company the longest…the most loyal, if you will. 

Each of these awards can be presented in the form of an engraved plaque, perhaps accompanied by a gift card or small gift to commemorate the moment. With fun, clever Christmas-themed awards, your company’s Christmas party will be a blast this year!
