Pick three to five festive themes – Alps in winter, Christmas gala, retro, fairytale or your own scene. Guests get a personal AI picture on their phone in about 1–1.5 minutes, groups included, plus an optional print and transition video.
This guide is for HR teams, office managers and event planners organising a company Christmas party in Zurich or elsewhere in Switzerland. At the end you will know which AI Photo & Video Booth themes work at a Weihnachtsfeier, how the booth runs on the night, and what to prepare.
Why put an AI Photo & Video Booth at a Christmas party?
Because it gives every guest a personal picture they actually want to keep and share. A classic booth puts a face in front of a backdrop. Our AI booth generates a new image for each guest – in a winter scene, a gala or a fairytale – and keeps the person’s likeness.
- It works for colleagues who don’t usually like photos: the result is a scene, not a passport picture.
- Teams can step in together – several people fit in one photo, and every face stays recognisable.
- Guests get the picture on their phone via QR code, and a short transition video (real photo → AI scene) for social media.
Which Christmas themes work best?
The best themes are festive, flattering and easy to understand in one second. We have more than 50 pre-designed scenes and write custom prompts for the occasion. Ideas that fit a Christmas party:
| Theme idea | What guests see | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Winter in the Alps | Snowy peaks, a mountain hut, warm light | Every team – a safe, very Swiss choice |
| Christmas gala | Evening wear, chandeliers, golden decorations | Formal dinners and black-tie evenings |
| Retro Christmas | 1920s, 1950s or 1980s style, film-look colours | Parties with a dress code or a decade theme |
| Fairytale winter | Snow forest, lanterns, a winter palace | Mixed teams and families |
| Your own scene | Your product, office building or brand colours in the picture | Companies that want to celebrate their year |
Three to five themes are plenty. More choice makes the queue slower, not the party better.
How does the booth run on the night?
Guests step in, choose a theme on the screen, and the photo is taken. The AI image is ready in about one to one and a half minutes – we measured this at real events. While they wait, the next guest is already up.
- The picture arrives by QR code on the phone – no app needed.
- The screens, frames and landing page carry your company design.
- Optional: printed photos, and AR – scan the print and the photo comes to life.

Example: a Christmas party evening in Zurich
Example: a company of about 150 people celebrates in a venue in Zurich. This is how the booth could fit into the evening:
- 18:30 Apéro: the booth opens. Guests arrive dressed up – the best moment for portraits.
- 19:30 Dinner: the booth stays open; teams go in between courses.
- 21:30 Speeches and awards: winners take a group picture together in the gala theme.
- 22:00 Party: the retro theme and group photos take over.
Should you add a photographer too?
If you want pictures of the speeches, the room and the dance floor, yes. The AI booth gives guests their own picture. An event photographer captures the evening as it happened – for the intranet, the annual report and next year’s invitation. Both can be booked separately or together. See also event photography for internal company events.
Checklist: AI booth at your Christmas party
- Book early – most Christmas parties fall on the same few December evenings.
- Choose three to five themes, including one for groups.
- Send your logo and colours for screens, frames and the landing page.
- Plan a spot near the bar or the dance floor – we confirm space and power with you before the event.
- Decide on prints and the transition video.
- Mention the booth in the invitation – guests dress up for it.
- Add a photographer if you need the speeches and the room on camera.
