Team BridgeChristmas awards for work, voted by the team
Skip the printed certificates. Team Awards runs the awards in your holiday call: everyone secretly votes for a teammate for each award and adds an anonymous reason, the winners are revealed one by one, and everyone downloads an award card at the end.
Team Awards is included with a TeamBridge pass: $299 for 7 days or $499 for 12 months, for up to 200 players. Scribble and eight more games are free.

Christmas award ideas from the Holiday party pack
The pack has 84 kind, funny superlatives. A game picks 6 to 10 of them. Some of the ones teams laugh at most:
For the party people
Best party host energy · Best moves on the dance floor · Most likely to know every song on the party playlist · Best at keeping a party game going.
For the planners
Most likely to finish their gift shopping in October · Most likely to run the gift exchange with a perfect spreadsheet · Most likely to volunteer for the party planning committee.
For the remote team
Most likely to have a festive video background ready · Most likely to get everyone into the group photo · Best year-end thank-you notes.
For the bakers
Most likely to bring homemade cookies to the party · Most likely to build a prize-winning gingerbread house · Best homemade hot chocolate recipe.
Tips for team awards people remember
Keep them kind
The pack has only positive superlatives. If you write your own, keep jokes about habits, not about people.
Leave the reasons on
Anonymous reasons are where the warm moments come from: people write what they wouldn’t say out loud.
Mix in your own
Add an award or two about your team’s year, like “MVP of the launch week”, next to the holiday ones.
Plan the date
In 2026, the last Friday before Christmas is Friday, December 18. Awards work best as the last item of the call.
Questions
What are good Christmas awards for work?
Kind, funny superlatives everyone can win, like “Best party host energy” or “Most likely to have a festive video background ready”. The Holiday party pack in Team Awards has 84 of them, and you can add your own.
How do we do Christmas awards for a remote team?
Open a Team Awards lobby and share the link in the Teams, Zoom or Meet call. Everyone votes secretly on their own screen, the winners are revealed one at a time, and everyone downloads an award card.
Are the votes anonymous?
Yes. The reveal shows each winner’s vote count and the reasons, never who voted for whom. You can turn the reasons off in the lobby.
Can we write our own awards?
Yes. Type your own awards in the lobby, separated by semicolons. They’re always played, and the pack fills the rest of the line-up.
How many people can vote?
Team Awards takes 3 to 50 players. For a bigger group, run one game per team.
How much does it cost?
Team Awards is included with a TeamBridge pass: the $299 Event Pass covers up to 200 players for 7 days, and the $499 Year Pass covers 12 months. No subscription.
