Michele wrote, “With the holidays coming up, we will have holiday parties in our regional markets, but most of my team members are remote in areas where they won’t be able to attend in person. I’d love ideas how we can do a virtual holiday party that doesn’t involve food because I have one team member with a host of dietary concerns that prevent them from eating most foods. Any suggestions welcome from quiz platforms to team budding packages I can have mailed to their house, I’m open. Thanks in advance.”
