Christmas in July kids parties

 

Christmas Movie Kids Christmas - The Christmas Cart

This July school holiday why host a Christmas in July party just for the kids. Kids love Christmas, so they will be more than happy to participate; this is also a great birthday party theme for kids born in July! Here is some great Christmas in July party ideas to add a touch of magic to your child’s next party.

Instead of the traditional party favour bag, hand out Christmas stockings to the kids. Fill these with treats or even some stocking filler toys so they can take a piece of festive cheer home with them.

Try baking a few of the delicious Christmas inspired treats that we have included in the beginning of this issue to fill those rumbling bellies. Or better yet, if you don’t mind the mess, get the kids to help make and decorate them with red and green toppings! Another tasty option is for the kids to make their own special ice-cream – buy a big tub of vanilla ice-cream, get the kids to make red and green jelly (bonus if they are in Christmas shapes!) and mix the delicious desserts together for a fun take on Christmas desserts!

If the craziness of a big party isn’t your thing, host a sleep over for your child and a few of their closest friends and have a Christmas movie marathon. Here is our top ten list of Christmas movies that the whole family can enjoy:

1.  Elf
2.  The Grinch
3.  The Santa Clause
4.  Miracle on 34th street
5.  The Nightmare Before Christmas
