It\u2019s now well into Christmas and although we\u2019ve been going on about booking Christmas entertainment<\/a> early, there\u2019s always a few private parties and companies who only get around to booking their\u00a0Christmas entertainment\u00a0in December. As such, many DJs are booked up on the key dates you\u2019ll be wanting them for, but don\u2019t let that get to you! Put down your mince pie, have a swig of mulled wine and take a look at these alternatives that just might be more perfect than a Christmas DJ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not book your very own polar bear? Well it\u2019s not actually a real one, (it\u2019s themed walkabout artists in a polar bear costume) that can turn up at your Christmas party<\/a> to liven up proceedings. This cuddly looking\u00a0polar bear walks and poses with your guests.\u00a0 What could be more Christmassy than that? Okay, so he won\u2019t provide anything to dance to but who needs that when you can laugh and take selfies all evening? Exactly. We guarantee your Instagram will have more likes than ever after a cheeky pic with this wonderful Christmas bear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not go for a real animal? We all saw the\u00a0Logo Reindeer\u00a0last year and it was impressive, even featuring Santa and a sleigh. You could even order some elves if you\u2019d like, but how about a couple of live reindeer to book for your Christmas event. They won\u2019t arrive with presents and they\u2019ll probably walk rather than fly, but there\u2019s something fab about feeding a carrot to a reindeer.<\/span><\/p>\n

What could be better than a Christmas Tree? You can sing Christmas carols around it, put presents beneath it and struggle to get rid of it once New Year rolls in. That last point wouldn\u2019t be a problem with these incredible\u00a0living Christmas trees\u00a0however, the perfect accompaniment to any Christmas gathering. A festive treat nobody will be expecting, these trees stand by the entrance to your party venue and move as unsuspecting guests arrive. A lot of fun guaranteed to have your guests in stitches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas Party Band<\/span><\/p>\n

Just because a DJ isn\u2019t free, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy some music! What party entertainment<\/a> you go for depends entirely on you and what your guests might like. If you\u2019re looking for a festive feeling, then\u00a0Motown Supreme may be more your thing.\u00a0\u00a0Or a trendy contemporary band; Kings Ov Leon. You don\u2019t even have to book a band that melds perfectly with the Holiday season; various bands can play all the hits your DJ would have played and provide some originality and festive cheer on top. Perfect!<\/span><\/p>\n

Illusionist<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe without a DJ, you really are fixated on just using the iPod from Andy in Accounts. Since the rest of the office are scared of animals and possible living Christmas trees, in that case you are left with only one option, especially if everybody adores magic. Sure, you could go for an Illusionist \u2013 make your guests the centre of attention whilst the illusionist does his amazing magic before their very eyes, where everyone if trying to work out just how he does it!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, none of this matters if you have your heart set on a DJ\u2026 So don\u2019t delay, get in touch today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
