10+ Fun Virtual Happy Hour Ideas That Will Make Your Weekend So Much Better

Everyone loves happy hour. The work day is over, the night has begun, and it's time to unwind with a cocktail (or two). But right now, things are different. Amid recent calls for social distancing, meetups at local watering holes are out of the question. However, that doesn't mean happy hour needs to be canceled; in fact, connecting with friends might be more important now than ever before.

This Friday or Saturday — or any day, really — gather your friends for a fun virtual happy hour. To start your party, simply log on to Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime. From there, the opportunities are endless. You can ask each other questions, play a drinking game, or even do some arts and crafts. The sky is the limit — just make sure you have one of these classic cocktails on hand. And if your happy hour is in honor of a birthday, include some of these virtual birthday party ideas.
