Have Yourself A Merry Little Party: 10 Christmas Party Themes
'Do you hear what I hear?'
Christmas is just around the corner and it's time to roll out the verres à vin, faux fur coats and toast to the celebration of life.
Gather a few or a hundred friends around for a holiday soirée that perfectly fits your aesthetic this winter with some of the most fabulous and eccentric party themes below.
1. Après Ski White Christmas Party
Decorate your space with white lights and fur anywhere you can and place white candles to set an intimate, and warm mood. Take things to the next level by sprinkling faux snowflakes and glitter all over the floor to really give your party that "Winter Wonderland" feeling. Guests must dress in all-white attire or if you're feeling really adventurous, request guests to wear ski-attire to recreate the feeling of that winter "vacay" dream at the slopes.
Bonus: Sit by a fireplace with your closest companions, roast s'mores, and sip some spiked apple cider for that cabin-like feel.
2. Pet-mas Party
Are you and friends proud parents of a cute little pet (or two) that you'd just love to dress up in your favorite Christmas costume? Celebrate Christmas this winter with your furry friends to really liven up the party and let your pets live their best life with you and your pals for once!
Bonus: Arrange a Secret Santa for you and your friends' respective pets!
3. Ornament Decorating Party
It's the most wonderful time of the year to get crafty. Wipe out the nearest Michael's for paint, glitter, ribbons and anything else your heart desires for a night of decorating and drinking egg nog. Let your creativity fly high as Santa's sleigh!
Bonus: Exchange ornaments at the end of night to hang on your own trees as special little gifts you'll cherish forever.
4. Christmas Cocktail Party
There is no better way of feeling the holiday cheer than sipping specially crafted fancy cocktails hot, cold, creamy or fruity. From Gingerbread Eggnog White Russians to Pomegranate Moscow Mules, explore different options from that you and your guest will enjoy!
Bonus: Hire a special bartender who can professionally craft your choice of holiday drink!
5. All I Want For Christmas Are My Ladies
'Do my ladies run this mother? There's always something magical about having a night where you and your girlfriends can let loose and bask in each other's feminine greatness. Whether you prefer a movie marathon with face masks, or to just enjoy holiday music and catch up, it's bound to be a girlicious night.
Bonus: If you and your friends love singing, pull out a microphone and karaoke the night away.
6. In A Manger
Recreate the scene where it all began. The manger where Jesus was born. Set the scene by adorning candles in different areas, stacking hay in corners, and perhaps plant fake sheep or animals for the ultimate recreation. Add a touch of royal with gold cutlery and tableware.
Bonus: Request that guests show up dressed up in costuming similar to the B.C. era.
7. Black Tie Affair
For a bigger party, think Great Gatsby. Each attendee must show up in their fanciest attire respectively. Decorate your house with the most elegant lights and wine fountains. You may even hire a jazz band to get your party moving.
Bonus: Make it a 1920's Black Tie Affair and shake your tail feather!
8. Mele Kalikimaka
While the weather outside is frightful, make some lemonade out of lemons by hosting a super tropical, super warm Christmas Luau. Prepare fruity cocktails and bump happy island-type music to get away from those winter blues. Mele Kalikimaka...that's Merry Christmas in Hawaii!
Bonus: Dress up in loincloths (malo) and grass skirts (a pa`u) and turn the heat up!
9. Holiday Lunch
Keep it simple by inviting a few of your closest friends and family to an Eden-themed decorated lunch or brunch. Make it potluck or treat your loved ones to a nice home cooked meal. If your budget allows, have a chef specially prep an unforgettable holiday entrée.
Bonus: Arrange a Secret Santa for the group!

The Christmas lights will not be the only ones shining at this party. Let your inner sparkle thrive during an evening of champagne, hors d'ouerves, and chocolate fondues. Guests will arrive in their flashiest outfits and dance the night away.
