Are you hosting a Christmas party this year? If you’re struggling to find a fun, interesting theme that your guests will enjoy we’ve got some great ideas for you to consider.
Holiday film festival
If you’re looking for a laidback party theme try hosting a festive movie marathon? Ask your friends around on a weekend afternoon so you can start early and cook dinner together to break up the film watching. Make sure you cover off a whole range of holiday movies to cater to everyone’s taste, and don’t overload on too many movies – keep the list to a maximum of five.
Christmas karaoke
Invite your friends to visit a karaoke bar with private singing rooms, or hire out a home karaoke set, and have a Christmas carol sing-along. A complete Christmas playlist may take all night, so consider sticking to a theme – maybe you love pop star covers of classic carols, or you’re a fan of swing and jazz versions. Order some snacks and a couple of drinks and make a night of it.
Gingerbread house decorating competition
This one will work for family and adult parties alike. Have all of the supplies for traditional gingerbread house building laid out in your kitchen, chose a judge and a few different categories like most creative and most traditional. If you want to make things more interesting, chose a theme for the competitors, set a timer, and race!
Christmas character party
There are so many good Christmas movies, it’s hard to narrow down which ones have the best characters. For a fun and laid-back theme party, have your guests dress as their favorite character. This could also be a great tie-in with a movie marathon party.
Around the world
Christmas is celebrated in many different ways across the globe. Assign everyone a country and have them bring a plate of traditional food. Ask everyone to find a fun fact about their country and share them throughout the night.
