Oh you digital - How digitalization simply makes Christmas better
While everyone is looking forward to Christmas parties with their loved ones again, we want to take something good away from the past pandemic years. After all, we now know one thing for sure: we can celebrate somehow and digitalization is helping us to do so. Streaming services, instant delivery, online games and concerts can help us out of our funk during the festive season. And that’s why we’ve put together the ultimate guide to digital solutions that make Christmas better.
Last minute gifts
Who can think of all the presents? For all those who keep trying and failing: thanks to instant delivery, we can get most things at the last minute and don’t have to explain what the price tag on the chocolates from the petrol station around the corner is for.
No one should be alone
They are still around this year – those who keep their distance: The daughter on a year abroad, the grandma in the nursing home, the freshman who caught influenza at the last student party, the family of choice who live hundreds of kilometers away and all those who actually found social distancing quite good. In addition to the usual video platforms, a number of providers and service providers have thought about how Christmas and other celebrations can take place on the usual platforms and how everyone can be there, from anywhere. The spectrum is as diverse as the ideas of a successful celebration: moderated escape rooms, cooking courses, drinks or delicatessen tastings, magic shows and live DJs. The choice is so wide that there really is no excuse for boredom.
Christmas music – streaming instead of yawning
The same Christmas CD comes on year after year and everyone is annoyed except the hard of hearing grandpa? Luckily there are music streaming services. Online concerts are also waiting for your visit: connect to the speaker via Bluetooth and the problem is solved!
No more arguments about food!
The endless possibilities of the online culinary world make it easy: dumplings, roasts and sauces are available vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free or low in histamine. There’s no such thing as can’t, and in an emergency you can simply order directly from your trusted foodie.
Goodbye to putting your foot in it
Those relatives who drive you crazy. Vaccination, feminism, flight, war – little knowledge, but lots of opinion: nerve! Thanks to fact googling and online rhetoric guides, nobody has to put up with this nonsense unchallenged.
Life Hack
What could possibly go wrong? Everything. The good news is that there are solutions for every problem and even a video tutorial for almost all of them.
We wish you happy and peaceful holidays!
