Company Holiday Celebration Planning Survey
Gathers employee preferences on format, timing, budget priorities, and inclusivity for your company holiday celebration, plus a rating of intent to attend this year. An AI follow-up interview digs into why people would or wouldn't show up, so planners can fix the real barriers instead of guessing.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Did you attend last year's company holiday celebration?
- Yes, in person
- Yes, virtually
- No, I chose not to
- No, I wasn't able to
- I wasn't employed here yet
Thinking about company holiday celebrations here over the past couple of years, how would you rate them overall?
Which format would you most look forward to this year?
- Evening party (after work hours)
- Daytime event during work hours
- Weekend event
- Virtual/remote celebration
- Hybrid (in-person and virtual option)
- No formal event - prefer a bonus or extra time off instead
Rank these elements from most to least important to your enjoyment of a company holiday celebration.
- Quality of food and drink
- Live entertainment or activities
- Recognition or awards for the year
- Ability to bring a partner or family
- Networking with people outside my team
- Convenience of timing and location
If you had $100 of the celebration budget to allocate, how would you split it across these areas?
- Food and drink
- Venue and atmosphere
- Entertainment/activities
- Gifts or giveaways
- Charitable donation in the company's name
How much do you agree with each statement about past or planned company holiday celebrations?
- The event feels welcoming to people who don't celebrate winter holidays
- Dietary needs and restrictions are well accommodated
- The cost of participating (travel, attire, childcare) is reasonable for me
- The timing works with my personal schedule
How likely are you to attend this year's company holiday celebration?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's likelihood-to-attend rating. If it's low, find out the specific barrier (timing, cost, inclusivity, past experience, disinterest in the format) and what single change would move them to attend. If it's high, find out which element they're most looking forward to and why. If they flagged low agreement on the inclusivity or accommodation statements, ask them to describe what happened or what they're worried about.
If the company had to choose one, which would you personally value more this year?
- A well-funded in-person or virtual celebration
- An extra paid day off instead of an event
- No preference either way
Which department or team are you part of? (Optional)
- Sales
- Marketing
- Engineering/Product
- Operations
- Customer Support
- Finance/HR/Admin
- (Replace with your other department names)
- Prefer not to say
How long have you worked here? (Optional)
- Less than 6 months
- 6 months to 2 years
- 2 to 5 years
- More than 5 years
- Prefer not to say

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond a single attendance question by pairing an intent-to-attend rating with an AI follow-up interview that probes the actual reasons behind that rating, so planners learn the real barriers instead of guessing.
- Covers format, timing, budget priorities (via a constant-sum budget split), and inclusivity through a mix of ranking, matrix, and multiple-choice questions rather than a flat list of static questions.
- Includes optional department/tenure segmentation questions so planners can see if attendance drivers differ by team or seniority.
- Opens and closes with plain-language chat messages that frame the survey's purpose and confirm responses will directly shape planning, which helps response quality and completion.
Jotform
Company Holiday Survey Form TemplateA ready-to-field, static form template for gathering employee input on a company holiday event. It's built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, so it's easy to customize fields and branding, but the questions themselves are fixed once published. There's no mechanism to dig deeper into a respondent's answers beyond what's explicitly asked.
What it does well
- Quick to deploy and customize using Jotform's widely-used form builder
- Likely integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem (notifications, storage, export)
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up to explore why an employee gave a particular answer
- No automated per-response quality scoring or AI-generated insights report
- No published methodology or prompt transparency since there's no AI component
SurveySparrow
Company Holiday Survey Template for EmployeesA conversational-style survey template aimed at employees, consistent with SurveySparrow's chat-like UI. It likely offers a smoother respondent experience than a plain form, but the conversational flow is still pre-scripted rather than dynamically probing individual answers. It's positioned as a template to launch as-is or lightly edit, not a fully adaptive interview.
What it does well
- Conversational, chat-style question flow that can feel friendlier than a traditional form
- Purpose-built for employee audiences, aligning with company culture surveys
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interviewing to ask 'why' behind a rating or preference in real time
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No automated quality scoring per response or transparent AI prompt disclosure
