Last Minute Christmas Party Ideas

For adults and kids

If you plan on having friends, family, or co-workers over to your home for a Holiday party, what can you do to make your event unique?

I queried an event planner and she shared some ideas:

Ideas for a Christmas party:

1. Host a cookie exchange party where everyone brings a batch of their favorite cookies to share.

2. Set up a hot cocoa bar with various toppings and mix-ins, like marshmallows, candy canes, and flavored syrups.

3. Have a gift swap where everyone brings a wrapped gift and takes turns choosing one to open.

4. Create a DIY ornament station where guests can make and take home their own personalized ornaments.

5. Set up a photo booth with festive props and backdrops for guests to take pictures with friends and family.

6. Host a holiday movie night and screen classic Christmas movies or TV specials.

7. Play holiday-themed games, like Christmas trivia or an ugly sweater contest.
