A toast alone is not a get-together. A New Year's drinks becomes special the moment there is one central ritual that builds towards something.
Three routes work well. The promise to each other: everyone writes one resolution for the team on a card. Those cards go into a box you open again next year. The guest surprise: a former colleague or unexpected speaker tells you in seven minutes what they learned. The mini-activation: a live tasting, a year quiz or a themed photo moment.
Choose one direction. Build the whole evening around it. The rest is atmosphere and drinks.
