If you know, you know … about Beamdog’s 2025 Holiday Event, “A Roaring Holiday Affair”. Bringing together staff from across the country, guests gathered to enjoy live jazz music and fine fare at 99ten in downtown Edmonton. Thoughtfully curated decor enhanced the evening’s ambiance, from wooden crates and vintage bottles to Prohibition-era posters and 1920s-inspired photobooth props, complemented by floral arrangements featuring black and gold elements and art deco accents.
Highlights from the party included:
- Live Music
- The Basement Collective, an 8 instrument jazz band, provided the soundtrack as guests enjoyed dinner.
- The evening transitioned into a performance by Matt Day and Gord Graber, playing holiday classics and requested covers.
- The night took a lively turn when Matt and Gord invited guests to play musical trivia and piano-accompanied karaoke.
- Whisky Tasting
- The evening featured an expert whisky tasting experience inspired by the Prohibition era.
- The Fortune Writer
- Guests could receive hand-typed, personalized poems from The Fortune Writer.
- Scavenger Hunt Word Scramble
- Letters were hidden throughout 99ten that unscrambled a word related to the evening for an opportunity to win prizes.
- Some attendees got creative and asked The Fortune Writer to help by writing a poem with a clue.
- Food and Drinks
- Appetizers, a buffet dinner, and late night eats from The Common combined fine fare with familiar holiday flavours.
- Guests sipped on signature drinks inspired by the Roaring 20’s: an Elderflower French ‘75 and a Vintage Non-Alcoholic Mint Julep.
