Mulled Wine Challenge for the Holidays

Spice up your Holiday Party with a "warm" team-building event: The Mulled Wine Challenge. Mulled wine, the vine's version of a classic hot toddy, is a traditional holiday beverage around the world.

In the Mulled Wine Challenge teams will make a very special holiday drink that includes Red Wine, other "potent" beverages, holiday spices, oranges and other fruits, cloves, cinnamon and lots of other "secret" ingredients. Teams will be instructed in the basics of Mulled Wine before the culinary portion, but each team will rely on its own creativity to make the very best!

Our Facilitator will describe the history of Mulled Wine, a European holiday drink that takes different incarnations in different countries. Teams will be challenged to a trivia quiz to see how much information they have retained—and also to allow the winning teams to have an advantage of picking their ingredients first in the challenge portion.

This TeamBuilding Unlimited Mulled Wine Challenge will tantalize your taste buds while challenging your knowledge and creativity.

In addition to mixing and cooking lemons and lots of other fruits with wine , other beverages and "secret" ingredients, each team will develop a marketing plan for their drink, a new logo and slogan, a name for "their" winery and their specific holiday warm mulled wine and so much more!

Our knowledgeable facilitator will educate the group on the history of Mulled Wine aka Glogg.

This is the perfect mixology team-building event!

Charity Challenge #1: Trikes for Tots

TeamBuilding Unlimited has added a special element to our teambuilding events. After a series of engaging, fun and competitive Wacky Games, participants will work together to build Tricycles for Tots. Enter into the Season of Giving-Year-Round.

Charity Challenge #2: Bears that Care

Get in the holiday spirit as TeamBuilding Unlimited leads you in a Bears That Care Teddy Bear team-building event! This is a great way to bring your team together while providing comfort to needy children during the holiday season or throughout the year. The need is sadly always there.

Each team may compete in a series of children's games and challenges to earn team points toward the "purchase" of parts and accessories needed to assemble Bears That Care. The competition continues as each team builds Teddy Bears and designs special Bear T-shirts that represent their team and their company.

Once the bears are completed, they are presented to local organization: Shelters, Police, Fire, Disaster, Hospitals and more.

This Charity Challenge is fun and altruistic. It benefits your team and the children who receive the Bears that Care. It's a Win-Win Holiday party for your Team.

Charity Challenge #3:
Make Your Cake and Donate it Too!

This event is a twist on our interactive and delicious activity Have Your Cake and Eat it Too that really capitalizes on your team's creativity and sweet tooth and community service. Teams are challenged to design and decorate cakes to reflect their team, their company and more that will be donated to local hospitals, schools and children's centers.

Charity Challenge #4:
Gingerbread Cookie Decorating & Donating

TeamBuilding Unlimited has added another fun and interactive team event for the Holidays that also gives back to the community. We provide Gingerbread Cookies, decorating tools, decorations and icing, and your group provides their time. Gingerbread Cookies are appreciated by everyone. They can be whimsical, holiday oriented, the sky's the limit! Cookies can be donated to hospitals, firehouses, family shelters, senior centers and lots of other organizations.

Charity Challenge #5: Operation Military Giving

Especially at the Holidays, but all year round, TeamBuilding Unlimited offers this very special team building event that supports our troops!

This Charity Challenge incorporates Corporate Social Responsibility with TeamBuilding/ and TeamBonding. TeamBuilding Unlimited will lead your teams through an engaging, team-building activity that culminates in the final challenge: the assembly of fun and important items in "care" boxes for U.S Troops. Items included cover a large variety of toiletries, books, dried food, cookies and candy, batteries, music, clothing, Ziploc bags, games, beverages, and other snacks which will be used to fill the boxes to the top. Choosing the items to go into the boxes will also be a team effort and will be coordinated by the TeamBuilding Unlimited facilitators. Whenever possible, the staff from the benefiting service organization is there to receive the donations and convey their appreciation. This will also inspire the teams to continue to be involved and send much needed care packages in the future. The reward for packing the boxes is the reward of giving back to the troops. What a great team bonding activity for your team! In addition, each team will design and execute a t-shirt to go with the donation of each box.

TeamBuilding Unlimited can also include a series of fun "military" games to set the mood and determine the order of gift selection for the boxes.

Company Mural/Quilt Art Project

This is the perfect activity to reinforce your company or team's corporate culture. Participants work in teams to "design" a piece of the quilt/mural that reflects your group. Collectively all the pieces form the "finished" company quilt/mural that can be taken back to the office and displayed. Design and piece together the heart and soul of your company Banner and Fly it High.

TeamBuilding Unlimited will guide your creativity, provide the materials, facilitate the event. All you need to do is show up and have fun!

This can also be done as a Charity Challenge and donated to a hospital, the military, a shelter, senior center or charity of your choice.

Chocolate! The ultimate holiday event.

TeamBuilding Unlimited guides you through a tasty sensation tour of the world of cacao from the bean to the bar. Use all of your senses as you discover and discuss this magical botanical wonderland of flavors, tastes, smells, touch and sights as you sample high-quality chocolate. What an incredible holiday event or staff appreciation. Like a wine tasting... only better.
