Fun Ideas for a Holiday Friends Party

Here are 10 fun and easy ideas to make your holiday friends party unforgettable!

1. DIY Hot Cocoa Bar

Set up a station with different types of milk (dairy, almond, oat) and a variety of toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, crushed peppermint, and sprinkles. Add some fun mix-ins like cinnamon, caramel, or even a splash of Baileys for the adults!

2. Ugly Sweater Contest

Encourage your guests to wear their most outrageous holiday sweaters. Award prizes for the funniest, most creative, or most over-the-top designs, and let everyone vote for their favorites.

3. Holiday Playlist Karaoke

Set up a karaoke machine with holiday classics like "Jingle Bells," "Last Christmas," and "All I Want for Christmas Is You." It's sure to bring out the laughs and get everyone in the festive spirit.

4. Themed Snacks and Treats

Serve holiday-themed snacks, like gingerbread cookies, peppermint bark, or a festive cheese platter. You could even make mini sandwiches shaped like snowflakes and trees or a charcuterie board filled with red and green treats.

5. Holiday Movie Marathon

Set up a cozy corner with blankets and pillows for a movie marathon. Let guests pick their favorite holiday films, from Home Alone to The Grinch, and enjoy the classics with some hot cocoa or mulled wine.

6. Holiday-Themed Games

Get everyone involved with games like Holiday Pictionary or Secret Santa Bingo. You can also play traditional party games like charades with a holiday twist, acting out scenes from festive films or songs.

 

7. Personalized Holiday Cocktails

Create a signature holiday drink with fun names like "Rudolph's Red-Nose Punch" or "Winter Wonderland Martini." Offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, so everyone can join in the fun.

8. DIY Holiday Craft Station

Set up a craft station where guests can make their own ornaments, decorate stockings, or create custom holiday cards. It’s a great way to get creative and give guests a souvenir to take home.

9. Photo Booth Fun

Set up a holiday-themed photo booth with props like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and faux snow. It’s a fun way to capture memories, and guests can share their photos using a custom hashtag.

 

10. Gratitude Jar

Create a gratitude jar where guests can write down something they’re thankful for or a favorite memory from the year. At the end of the party, read them aloud and share a heartfelt moment of reflection with your friends.
