Are you planning on having a little merry Christmas with your loved ones? Invite your kids friends and family over to celebrate the holiday season with these festive Christmas party ideas! We’ve rounded up some of our best ideas to make prepping for parties just as fun as throwing them. So, settle in for a holiday decoration or watch Christmas movies. Just don’t forget your favourite winter drink recipe and a slice of fruitcake or brownie.
All your friends will need to do is bring their Christmas cheer!
Here are the list of Christmas Party Ideas for your little ones:
- Snack Exchange Christmas Party: Turn on your favourite holiday playlist, sip on some hot cocoa, and send everyone home with a cute container of treats.
- Brunch Christmas Party: You don’t have to wait until Christmas morning to celebrate with friends over your favourite meal of the day! Bake up a few of your favourite brunch treats or encourage guests with kids friends to bring their own favourite recipe.
- Hot chocolate Fudge Sundae: Set up a hot chocolate bar and let your kids friends and family have at it! You can include toppings like cinnamon sticks, ground nutmeg, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and more. Let the cocoa brew in a slow cooker; it’ll stay warm all afternoon.
- Dinner Christmas Party: Who says you have to relegate the fun to the daytime hours? Host a Christmas dinner party with all the bells and whistles, and look to us for the best table setting, appetizer, and recipe ideas for kids.
- Card Making for Christmas Party: Give your guests and kids friends a few pre-made cards to write in or let them craft their very own at this cute party. Better yet, hand out postcards that can be sent to the kids and guests serving our country overseas, or handed out to first responders at your local fire department.
- Christmas Tree Decoration Party: Why decorate your tree alone? Invite kids friends from near and far to join you in the fun. Set out popcorn, cranberries, and thread for an old-fashioned look, or simply let your guests take turns adding ornaments to the branches. You can also ask that they bring one to share—that way, the party’s personal too!
- Cocktail Christmas Party: For an adults-only soiree(kids parents), host a holiday happy hour. Even if you’re not an expert bartender, you can still make gorgeous seasonal drinks—like this pomegranate rosemary spritzer—with our easy Christmas cocktails recipes.
- Exchange Christmas Cookies: Invite your friends to swing by with a dozen cookies in tow. Crank up the holiday tunes, nosh on cookies, and then send everyone packing with a bag full of treats. Set out cute recipe cards so guests can share how-toss for their new favourite desserts.
- Christmas Game Night: Kick off the holiday season right with some friendly competition for kids. Create a line-up of classic games with fun holiday twists like Christmas Bingo. A fun idea: Instead of the usual place-markers, blogger Amber from Crazy Little Projects uses popcorn to cover her board. If Bingo isn’t up your alley, gather everyone for a round of Christmas movie trivia. The winner takes home a basket full of Christmas DVDs!
- Christmas Photoshoot: Encourage guests and kids to dress up in their holiday finest, turn up the festive music, have some holiday punch and holiday hors d’oeuvres at the ready, and set up a cute photo backdrop for kids and your friends to ham it up in front of. Have a few Christmas props and holiday face masks on hand—put your DIY skills to good use and make your own masks or go on Etsy to purchase printable ones.
