Christmas party ideas

If it’s your turn to plan the annual Christmas party. It’s a lot of pressure, —but don’t fear! Whether you’re planning a fun office party, a classy dinner, or a traditional yuletide soirée, we’ve got some great Christmas party themes to get you thinking..

1. Winter Wonderland
A winter wonderland theme works for almost any Christmas party and event. But, with such a majestic aesthetic, it works especially well for dinner parties!

Frosted and/or clear crystal, white Christmas trees, polished silver, candles, snowflake confetti, metallic decorations, tinsel, fake snow, ice sculptures, and white string lights.

Use a String Quartet, Jazz Band, Harpist, Acoustic Act, or Classical Ensemble.

2. Christmas Themes Around the World
Christmas is celebrated in a number of different ways around the world. Throwing a Christmas Around the World party is a great way to learn about other cultures! With so many various traditions, you’ll have plenty of options — mince pies and Guinness of Ireland, the Christmas Eve feast of KFC in Japan, the ‘mass’ rollerskating in Venezuela, French nativity scenes made of radishes, and the large straw goat of Gåvle, Sweden that gets burned to the ground almost annually.

International Christmas foods and beverages, flags and informational cards, and decorations made from world maps.

Use, World Music Act, Father Christmas, Carolers, or any of our wonderful International-Inspired Acts.

3. Entertainment
Ballet Dancers, String Quartet, Classical Ensemble, or hire a Choreographer to teach a simple routine! Don’t forget a DJ, not out of the ordinary but classic entertainment!

4. The worst Christmas Jumper
The worst Christmas jumper party has been a popular theme for several years and there’s no doubt why — it’s fun! everybody buys their costume at a pound shop and the more pompoms, the better. The worst Christmas jumper parties can be a hit in any crowd, but we think they’re especially fun for office parties (and it’d make for a great office photo).
