Fortunately, there are dozens of creative and fun ideas that will surely get everyone in the festive spirit. Without further ado, here are 8 epic party themes to help you make your Christmas merry and bright.
Christmas cookie decorating party
This theme doesn’t involve a lot of preparation, so you can easily pull it off. You only need cookies of several sizes and shapes, food dye pens, icing, and sprinkles. Plus, this is an excellent way to combine business with pleasure! You can still pick an opulent location for the party, but consider putting some relaxing activities on your agenda, as they will add a sense of fun to an already spectacular event. This theme is about using the best decorations, so consider bows, tinsel, and bells. Make sure to set up tables for everyone coming to the party so they have a personal spot where they can decorate the cookies. Complete the vibe with lovely Christmas songs, and you’re ready for the best Christmas cookie-decorating party! P.S.: make sure your guests won’t eat the cookies before they finish decorating!
Grinchmas party
This one is a classic! If you’ve watched The Grinch, you likely understand why this MUST be on this list. The movie character makes for a fantastic Christmas party theme that can be fun for all your guests – especially if they dress up like the cynical grump! You can spend the evening watching all versions of the classic holiday tale or plan a fun activity. This can be a game that involves hiding a gift somewhere in the event space while offering different clues. You’ll have a lot of fun watching everyone’s quest for the stolen Christmas! The winner of the prize is the first person who finds it, so make sure the gift is worth fighting for!
Gift wrapping party
Wrapping Christmas gifts can definitely feel like a chore. The good news is that you can turn this activity into a party and make it more exciting! Ensure you have all the necessary items, like wrapping paper, tape, and scissors, and invite your friends to do the wrap work together. Once you’re done with the task, relax with a cup of hot cocoa and some tasty Christmas cookies while listening to charming Christmas music. No matter your age, carols can bring you a sense of peace, and Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas at all without them. You can include thousands of songs in your playlist, including jazz interpretations and funky covers! That said, make sure to add ‘’Christmas music download’’ to your to-do list for this holiday season.
Christmas karaoke party
All I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)! Why not pretend you’re Mariah Carey and throw a memorable karaoke party? While this may sound cheesy, we can guarantee your guests will enjoy themselves a lot! Plus, it challenges everyone to get out of their comfort zones. Your friends can pick their favorite Christmas songs and have fun while singing along. Ask guests to dress up as their beloved musician or holiday song to make things even more interesting. This way, the party will become ten times more entertaining! So, get a karaoke microphone and belt out your favorite Christmas songs!
Ugly sweater party
Dressing up in an ugly Christmas sweater is one of the best ways to get into the festive mood. Thus, consider this theme to celebrate the holiday season with your friends. Instead of purchasing sweaters, consider decorating them together – this will undoubtedly bring some laughs! Get sparkles, pom-poms, buttons, and other similar decorative items, ask your friends to pick an old sweater, and start working on your masterpiece! You can even turn into a competition and vote for the best sweater at the end of the night! However, if you decide to purchase the sweater, pick something with ridiculous sayings and crazy colors to stand out.
Movie marathon Christmas party
Suppose you have a projector screen or a big TV in your living room. In that case, consider hosting a movie marathon Christmas party! Invite your beloved ones over, and get into the festive spirit with your favorite Christmas classics like Home Alone. Make sure to give everyone pillows and blankets so they can feel cozy, and don’t forget to bring snacks and hot cocoa! You can make the party extra fun by playing Binge-Watch Bingo. Many templates are available online, so choose the one you like the most and get ready for the best Christmas night!
Christmas cocktail party
Consider organizing a holiday happy hour for you and your friends. You don’t have to be a professional bartender to make the best seasonal drinks – if you look for easy recipes and follow all the steps, it’s impossible to fail at it. Ask guests to bring their favorite cups if they want. Another idea is to utilize festive disposable cups, as this minimizes the dishes and allows guests to take their drinks with them when leaving. A Christmas cocktail party is the perfect way to spend the holiday season socializing with your beloved ones while enjoying a tasty beverage.
Christmas pajama party
Who said you have to throw a fancy party? After all, Christmas is about spending quality time with the people in your life, and a great way to do that is by throwing a pajama party! This can be one of the best parties ever – especially for those who want to get cozy and chill during the evening. So, invite your friends over, put on your comfy holiday PJs and spend the night with a glass of wine, a good movie, or simply chatting about random stuff.
