Corporate wellness<\/a> may be in, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping companies from splurging on champagne and steak this holiday season.<\/a><\/p>\n

TikTokers are giving the internet a glimpse into consulting and tech companies’ holiday parties<\/a>, from ice skating to raves.<\/p>\n

It appears that some consulting firms consulted with the same venue \u2014 Deloitte and KPMG’s<\/a> parties both seem to take place at Le Grand Palais des Glaces, an indoor ice skating rink with a mock Eiffel Tower, according to videos on TikTok.<\/p>\n

KPMG confirmed that more than 3,000 people attended its party in Paris at Le Grand Palais des Glaces. None of the other companies responded to a request for comment from Business Insider, and the videos saying they’re of the parties have not been verified.<\/p>\n

The post<\/a> about KPMG’s party includes a figure skating performance, drinks, and oysters lying on a bed of ice. A post that said it was of Deloitte’s<\/a> event also featured a figure skating show, with a group<\/a> of performers in yellow dresses, rather than the duet performance for KPMG employees. In terms of food, the apparent Deloitte bash offered bubbly, oysters, and a dish featuring truffle mushrooms, according to one video.<\/p>\n

A representative for KPMG said that the firm’s New York City holiday party took place at The Overview, an event space in the Javits Center, and featured live music, a holiday menu, and photo stations. In San Fransico, the Cirque du Soleil-themed party was at the San Francisco Design Center.<\/p>\n

A video<\/a> that said it showed a PWC<\/a> bash in New York City features a disco ball, dance floor, full bar, strips of rare steak, and accessories befitting a typical middle school graduation party, like light-up shutter shades and necklaces. (The TikToker told Business Insider the video is not affiliated with their work at PWC.)<\/p>\n

Some of Elon Musk<\/a>‘s companies also pulled out all the stops, according to social media. TikTok videos that said they showed SpaceX’s<\/a> holiday party included a rave around a Mars-themed stage \u2014\u00a0fitting since the rocket company aims to reach the red planet<\/a> by 2026. There seemed to be carnival rides, sledding on fake snow, and performers dancing in cyber trucks.<\/p>\n

The party appeared to take place in an outdoor arena, as some can be seen<\/a> milling around largely empty bleachers in another video.<\/p>\n

xAI employees hung out with Optimus robots<\/a>, according to posts on X. Photos and videos purportedly from the event show the robots handing<\/a> out items and fighting<\/a>.<\/p>\n
