- Use their name and role: E.g., “Hi [Name], thank you for your consistent excellence on our delivery platform this year…”
- Reference a specific contribution or milestone: E.g., “Your 120 completed shifts and 4.9★ average rating helped us exceed our service goal.”
- Connect to personal goals or growth: E.g., “May you find even more high‐value gigs next year and continue to grow your freelance business.”
- Mention future outlook or your partnership: E.g., “We’re excited to be working with you through 2026 – may the season recharge you for a stronger start.”
- Keep tone warm and respectful of their flexibility: E.g., “We appreciate the flexibility and professionalism you bring – here’s to a restful holiday and renewed energy.”

FAQ's
How should the Christmas message for a gig worker be structured differently from one for an employee?
The message should focus on partnership and appreciation for their independent, flexible support. Avoid language related to internal promotions or team hierarchy, sticking to gratitude for their "professional agility and expertise."
What specific contributions of a gig worker should be highlighted in the Christmas wish?
Highlight their on-demand reliability and the quality of their deliverables. Thank them for their "flexibility in meeting tight deadlines" and for delivering "high-quality, specialized work."
Is it appropriate to include a small, flexible reward with the message?
Yes, it is highly recommended to couple the message with a small, flexible reward. A digital voucher for a food service or a small "thank you" points allocation shows tangible appreciation.
What is the best way to deliver the Christmas message to a large, remote freelance workforce?
The most efficient method is a personalized, yet automated email campaign that is sent from the department head they most often work with, ensuring the message arrives directly and feels authentic.
How can a company ensure the gig worker feels included in the "corporate family" during the holidays?
Show inclusion by sharing a generalized, public holiday greeting on the company intranet/social media and ensuring they are invited to any virtual, non-work-related holiday celebrations open to contractors.
