Attendees' Instagram posts provide a window into how Facebook employees let their hair down at the party. There was a life-size bear ice sculpture there, which was carved via chainsaw. (Click the arrows on the Instagram post for a video and more images.)
One of the central areas featured shipping containers and a ski-lift gondola.
The winter village street was bedecked in holiday lights and festive decorations.
Performers were dressed up in Christmas-y garb, from drumming toy soldiers to elves on shelves (or in this case, shipping containers).

Attendees seemed to have a good time. "Shout out to Mark for throwin' a rager," one wrote.
And if attendees needed a breath of fresh air, they could step outside and grab a photo in front of the Palace's stately architecture.
As you might expect, it was all very Instagrammable.
