Advent season and Christmas party @ Staburo

As every year we at Staburo GmbH gathered in Munich for our annual Christmas party, celebrating the season with joy and creativity. This year’s event featured an exciting gingerbread house-building challenge — but with a twist! Teams competed in a series of fun and engaging games to earn more sweets for decoration purposes for their gingerbread houses.

With icing, candy, and plenty of enthusiasm as well as a bit of friendly competition, our colleagues designed their gingerbread masterpieces, showing off their creativity and teamwork. The festive atmosphere was filled with mulled wine, laughter, and the sweet scent of gingerbread, making it a truly delightful afternoon.

After the fun-filled gingerbread challenge, we continued our celebration at Da Rafaella. There, we enjoyed a wonderful evening with delicious Italian food, great drinks, an award ceremony, and plenty of lively conversations.

In addition, some colleagues have once again made the effort for the annual digital Staburo advent calendar. Therefore, this December was also a month for us filled with quizzes, creative coffee breaks, amazing, delicious fresh biscuits from our colleagues and the opportunity for everyone to be part of the charity activity of Johanniter.

A huge thank you to all our employees for their dedication throughout the year and to our customers for their trust and collaboration throughout the year. We are excited for everything 2025 has in store for us.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays, and a happy and successful New Year 2025!
