The holiday season is the perfect time to gather friends and family for cozy, creative, and joyful celebrations! Whether you’re looking for a festive evening with crafts or a laid-back day filled with treats, here are five simple and delightful holiday party ideas.
Cookie Decorating Party
Host a cookie decorating extravaganza! Set up a decorating station with sugar cookies, gingerbread men, and a variety of frostings, sprinkles, and toppings. Use red and green tablecloths, fairy lights, and holiday-themed napkins to create a cozy, festive vibe. This party is all about creativity and fun, and guests can take home their creations as tasty souvenirs.
Hot Chocolate Tasting Party
Take hot chocolate to the next level with a tasting party! Offer a variety of hot chocolates (dark, milk, white, and flavored) and toppings like cinnamon, caramel, and peppermint. Decorate with rustic mugs, plaid tablecloths, and pinecones. Guests can experiment with flavors and find new favorites while chatting and savoring delicious holiday flavors. You can also add some hot apple cider if that is more your speed. I remember going to William and Sonoma for both samples they had of each!
Holiday Movie Marathon
For a cozy and relaxed celebration, set up a holiday movie marathon! Arrange blankets, pillows, and maybe a hot cocoa station with marshmallows, peppermint sticks, and whipped cream. String fairy lights around the room for a magical touch, and play classics like Home Alone, Elf, and The Grinch. It’s a laid-back way to enjoy holiday magic and spend quality time with loved ones.
DIY Ornament-Making Night
Invite friends over to create personalized ornaments! Provide clear plastic or ceramic ornaments, paint pens, glitter, and ribbons. Decorate the space with a Christmas tree, pine garlands, and candles for a festive ambiance. Everyone can make keepsake ornaments to decorate their own trees or to give as gifts. This party combines craftiness with holiday cheer and lets guests take home something meaningful.
Gingerbread House Decorating
I used to go to one of my childhood friend’s homes every year for gingerbread house decorating party. It is one of my fondest memories, and I looked forward to it every year. Whether you make your own houses or get a kit, be sure to ask your guests to also bring a topping to decorate with. This could be candy, cereal, pretzels, or more! Get creative.
These easy holiday parties are perfect for celebrating the season in style, creating memories, and sharing in the holiday spirit with friends and family. Be sure to stop by Party Place in person or online to get all your party supplies for whatever events you host this holiday season. Fill it with joy.
