Wow, what a night! On Thursday, December 5th, Old Fashioned Sam’s on Harcourt Street was transformed into a cozy winter wonderland for the urbanmedia & News Ireland Après Ski Party – and let us tell you, it was one for the books!
The star of the show? The VR Ski Machine challenge, of course! The only draw, it was hard to get a turn with Stephen Joyce hogging the machine most of the night. It was hugely popular giving guests the chance to hit the virtual slopes, and they gave it their all to clock the fastest times. With a €4,000 ski holiday up for grabs, the competition was fierce, but the excitement was off the charts. Huge congratulations to our big winner Tom Cullen from Denstu – get those snow boots ready for your epic Ski adventure. There was prizes for the slowest time too, but we will leave their names out of the piece for fear of embarrassment
Adding to the magic of the evening were our incredible hosts, Crossy and Zeinab from FM104’s Strawberry Alarm Clock, who kept the energy high and the laughs coming all night long. From hyping up the crowd to leading the games and announcing the winners, their charm and quick wit had everyone in stitches. They were the glue that held the fun together, and we couldn’t have asked for a better duo to steer the ship! FM104‘s street team were also on hand to help out during the night.
But that wasn’t all…. from party games to the Best Dressed showdown, there was fun to be had at every turn. With plenty of vouchers with thanks to Just Eat and One4All on the line, everyone brought their A-game with some seriously snazzy outfits, great ski attire and others with questionable choices that deserved an honourable mention.
The vibe was unbeatable – laughter, cheers, and the clinking of glasses filled the air as everyone soaked up the après ski spirit. The festive décor and wintry ambiance made it easy to forget we were in the heart of Dublin, but it was a really good way to kick off the festive season.
A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and made the night so special. Thanks to the teams in urbanmedia and News Ireland for organising, and thanks to all agencies and guests for bringing smiles, and holiday cheer to help make the party a smashing success.
We hope to have plenty more exciting events coming your way, so stay tuned. Until then, we hope you have a very merry Christmas, happy holiday and a fantastic new year from all of us at urbanmedia.
