Ho Ho Host the BEST Christmas Party Ever!
Best Christmas Party Theme
Make it the best Christmas party ever by incorporating a theme for this years celebration. There are lots of options when it comes to choosing a theme, too, such as select an elegant, fun, or casual dress-up for yourself and your guests. Additionally, you could truly formulate the best Christmas party by having a special prize for the best dressed, as voted by all your guests.

- Elegant attire: outfits with lots of sparkle, or opt for a black tie Christmas dinner party.
- Christmas character attire: encourage guests to dress up as Santa or one of his helpful friends (e.g. reindeer, nutcracker, Grinch, or elf), or feel inspired by your favourite Christmas movie character.
- Summer Christmas: celebrating Christmas in summer means ensuring your guests are as comfortable as possible. This dress-up theme will be truly appreciated by all attendees!
Host the Best Christmas Party with Fun Games
What would Christmas be without some fun party games to encourage the best Christmas party spirit? We certainly think it wouldn't be Christmas at all! Party games are generally associated with children's events, however the best Christmas parties we've attended have included adult games. You can specifically target guests of all age ranges and interests with this festive list.Best Christmas Party Games with Kids:
Make these games as fun, short, and inclusive as possible, without losing the festive element that kids definitely enjoy.- Guess how many peppermints/lollies are in the jar: although parents may not be fond of winning a large jar of candy, you know the children will be thrilled with this prize!
- Pin the nose on the snowman: certain to be a hit, this is a festive take on the traditional party game everyone already loves.
- Cookie decorating: buy a DIY cookie decorating pack and set up a specific table for this activity. Incorporate festively-coloured fondants, sprinkles, and cupcake decorations. Then indulge in these yummy treats afterwards for the best Christmas party.
Best Christmas Party Games for Adults Only:
Adult party games can be as crude or timid, alcoholic or sober, as you and your loved ones desire. After all, when the kids are away (or asleep) the grown ups deserve time to play.- Neatest gift wrap challenge: sounds simple, right? But the twist - you and your partner have one arm each to use, and the challenge has to be completed in a timeframe of the hosts choice. We certainly wish we could watch this game unfold!
- Christmas spirit pong: our take on the classic game of beer pong, with a Christmassy twist. But beer isn't the staple drink in this adults only party game. We like peach schnapps and cinnamon flavoured spirits, as well as traditional Aussie summery soft drinks poured into each cup. Additionally, try sourcing ping pong balls as close to your Christmas colour theme as possible to subtly coordinate to your décor.
- Classic party games: like egg and spoon and sack races are fun for all ages! But add a Christmas touch by changing the egg to a peppermint candy or candy cane, for example.
