Just keep this list handy and all your guests will be singing “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” atop your bar stools come midnight. Here is the ultimate list when it comes to Christmas party and décor must haves.

1. You definitely need a Christmas tree.

3. You need candy canes, Hershey’s kisses, cookies, and nuts stashed all around your house.
4. You need at least one mistletoe hanging overhead.

7. You need champagne and pumpkin and apple pies with whipped cream.
8. You definitely want to loop some classic Christmas music on your record player.
9. Wreathes, candles, and faux plants such as Pointsettas are perfect for this time of year.
10. You need to hang your holiday cards in a unique way to demonstrate the idea of togetherness.
11. You need some holiday lights on the inside and outside of your home.
12. You may think about having some holiday movies ready for all the young kids to watch in the backroom.
13. You should have a lot of blankets around for people to snuggle in.
14. It would be great if you had a fireplace to keep everyone warm and roasting chestbuts.
15. You need snow to seal the deal but this is totally out of your control.

After that, use your imagination and throw the best, most unique Christmas themed party you can think of. Happy Holidays!

Christmas party is a must to hold for any company. A company party at grand Christmas, saying thanks to your hardworking staff, sharing delicious food and activities, and encouraging higher team spirit in the coming New Year, is but a wise way to knot every part of the company with further communication.

Casual as it is, your corporate Christmas party, traditionally filled with festive food, drink and music, can be integrated with a not so casual PowerPoint DVD presentation/album – a digital slideshow of reflection and reconciliation for the company in the past year. As a boss or manager, you are not to make a party merely to please the employees. You should make a corporate presentation to pilot them to your company culture, the core power that combines everyone in the company. Meanwhile, diligent employees want to hear your comments on the annual operation of the company, as well as compliments on their work performance, which requires you an extra presentation to explain. A compelling PowerPoint presentation, burned in DVD and played at the beginning of the party, will effectively enhance your office gathering at Christmas. With Moyea PowerPoint to DVD Burner, you can easily make a DVD slideshow for your company Christmas Party.

The next question is,

How to Make a DVD Slideshow for Your Office Christmas Party?

For Christmas PowerPoint presentation

It goes with the same as any other presentation creation. You create different styles of slides, choose a PowerPoint template, insert pictures, enter text, adjust transitions, arrange all the elements according to rehearsal, and etc. In addition, you can pay an extra attention to the following 2 tips:

Tip 1 Combine Christmas symbols with your company.

It is a Christmas party, and your company’s! It is necessary to weave the two into each other. For example, you can make a unique “Christmas tree” writing on each light a name and an avatar of a colleague, an Honor Tree stringing the company’s top contributors, or a Christmas Wish Tree for every department of your company. Activate the Christmas tree with funny animations, wipes in PowerPoint. You staff will be glad to watch a DVD slideshow with their act. Just free your imagination for it!

Tip 2 Add in mood music, flash or movie montage.

You don’t want the Christmas DVD a silent show? Then consider some dynamic ingredients – merry Christmas music, crisp flash or movie montage of the company. If you have a confident voice, record your own narration for the party slideshow.

For Converting Xmas PowerPoint to DVD

When using in the program, before a click on Start, you can also make advanced settings for your party DVD slideshow. Here are another 2 tips.

Tip 3 Logo the DVD slideshow with your company trademark

Take full use of the Logo feature in the converter. Add in your company trademark, adjust it to a corner, and apply it to all slides. A subtle logo is excellent to indicate the copyright of your party DVD and brand you company.

Tip 4 Frame the party DVD with Xmas-themed menu

Also, never forget to single out a Christmas menu for your party DVD. In the PPT to DVD burner, under the Menu tab, from the Holiday theme, choose a Christmas template as outskirt of your party DVD slideshow. Later, you and your party staff can watch the Office Christmas DVD via a remote control.

Not only does PowerPoint bring ease to your office business, but also it adds extra fun to your Christmas party with the help of PPT to DVD technology.
