Ice-skating Party

Bring your friends together for some winter fun. Take advantage of the cold by serving hot buttered rum, vanilla ice cream balls, and your favorite holiday treats during an ice skating party. Null snow? No issue. Make a porch party out of it by donning a scarf.

Movie Marathon Party

Build a fire, cuddle up with your loved ones, and watch Christmas classics like The Polar Express, Home Alone, and Miracle on 34th Street to get into the festive spirit. For a festive treat, serve freshly popped popcorn with optional seasonings like parmesan, black pepper, cinnamon, or everything bagel.

The theatre candy brownies and the hot chocolate with toasted marshmallows shouldn't be overlooked. Encourage attendees to participate in Binge- Use buttons to watch bingo or popcorn to mark the squares.

Gift-Wrapping Party

By inviting your friends over for a gift-wrapping party, you may make this year's gift-giving more enjoyable. Set out a table covered in gift tags, ribbons, stamps, and wrapping paper, and get creative. Everyone can unwind afterward with a cup of apple cider and a few holiday cookies.

Retro Party

Keep things traditional with an ice wreath, vintage Christmas tree lights, and a cake decorated in the shape of a ceramic Christmas tree. (For good measure, include an actual ceramic Christmas tree!)

Ornament Crafting Party

Crafter-noon? Please, yes! Cross-stitching may be rapidly learned by even complete beginners, and with our simple tutorials, you can lead the way. Of course, you're not limited to cross-stitch patterns. There are countless options for DIY ornaments!

Salt Dough Crafting Party

Making decorations or other creatures out of salt dough is one of the simplest crafts you can perform. A celebration of the entertaining stuff will be fun for both children and adults. Just mix 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup salt, and 1 1/2 cups warm water in a bowl to prepare it. Knead the dough until it is smooth and firm. If you're going for ornaments, use a straw to poke a hole for hanging. Roll out the dough and let your guests cut and design the desired shapes before baking at 300°F until dry, about 1 hour; let cool entirely. Even the finished objects can be painted by them!

Pampering Party

The happiest season of the year can also be one of the most demanding. Invite the gals over for an afternoon of pampering to take a break from the Christmas commotion. Spend money on professional services for yourself, or receive ideas for doing your own makeup, hair, and nails.
