The second wave of Covid-19 has officially hit, as cases increase around the whole world. However, the holiday season is also approaching quickly, and many people wonder if they will enjoy celebrations. Since the pandemic has put all of our lives on hold, we can expect a very different holiday season than what we are used to. Indeed, big parties, get-togethers and real-life physical contact will certainly not be allowed. That is why, in this article, we will be sharing some of the best options to enjoy your time with family and friends online instead than in real life.

 Virtual celebrations

First and foremost, keep in mind that there are many options online to brighten someone’s birthday or congratulate them for their accomplishments without having to meet them. For instance, you could send them delivered presents, which come right to the destination. Most times, they are also nicely wrapped and don’t include any invoice.

However, if you wish to celebrate birthdays or the holidays with your friends and family, many apps and website exist for you to have a virtual family gathering. You could try Skype, Zoom or Microsoft Teams, but there are many more to choose from.

You could also try something new, such as gifting your friend a birthday video from their favourite celebrity. The website and app called Cameo allow you to request personalised messages from celebrities, movie stars, singers and athletes. Such requests usually take a maximum of 7 days to complete and could go from a few bucks up to 200 euros.

Another fun option to actually enjoy some time with your friends is Netflix party. The latter allows you to watch your favourite movies with other people to share your opinions and discuss them together.

In case you are unsure of what you would like to do, you can always browse through the Cya Live options. This website has many online activities you can enjoy, going from lessons to follow to documentaries and movies to watch. Cya Live has a calendar which displays coming up events.
