We teamed up with our brilliant partners at Funlab to bring Christmas 2025, or rather Cringemas 2025, to life. The campaign plays on painfully familiar office party moments, the awkward small talk, the sad sandwiches, the dance floor no one wants to step onto, and places them in direct contrast with the bright, energetic and genuinely fun experiences on offer at Funlab venues.

By dialling up the cringe and juxtaposing it with what your Christmas party could be, the campaign challenges business owners and corporate party organisers to rethink the default office celebration.

The message is simple and playful: if you’re going to throw a party, make it memorable at Strike, Holey Moley, Hijinx Hotel or Archie Brothers.
