5 CHRISTMAS THEMES FOR YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY PARTY

5 Christmas Themes For Your Next Holiday Party

Let’s face it, Christmas parties can be boring and cheesy. The dreaded company staff party comes to mind. Christmas carols and Santa hats are great for kids, but they aren’t going to satisfy your adult guests. A foundation of great food, beverage, and entertainment is a great start, but how do you take your party to the next level? A sophisticated Christmas theme can add an elegant touch and engage your guests.

1. Winter Wonderland

Blue uplighting is a simple and easy way to completely transform a room on a conservative budget. Tabletop decor and floral can top off this wonderful theme. Budget permitting, an ice bar or ice luge could create a remarkable moment that your guests won’t soon forget.

 

2. Snowy Paradise

Adorn your room with fake snow or bring in a full-sized snow-covered Christmas tree as a focal point. Dress the room with white decorations and continue the theme into your food and beverage offerings. Perhaps a mashed potato bar serving up a martini glass of snow-coloured spuds with a wide variety of toppings?

 

3. Red Hot Christmas

Though it may be cold outside, firing up your party just may be the ticket. Candles are a tasteful and exquisite way to provide warmth – think all shapes and sizes. Your linens and event visuals may also provide avenues to bring the heat. A splash of cinnamon or peppermint anyone? We’re not necessarily recommending Fireball, but hey… maybe?

 

4. Festive Forest

A beautifully decorated room with lush greenery, branches, shrubs, and trees can create that whimsical forest backdrop that you only read about in fairy-tales. An enchanting winter woodland awaits, so be creative and bring on the ‘green’! Add additional scent to the room and don’t be afraid to transition the theme into the food. With such a wide variety of local and sustainable offerings, you’re sure to be able to produce a menu with delicious foliage and original presentation.

 

5. Candy Carnival

The options are endless and so are the calories. But the holidays are a time to enjoy yourself and indulge in your favourite treats. So be sure to treat yourself… and your guests. Candy shouldn’t be your only food option, but it should be the star of the show! PS. A candy cane makes a great cocktail garnish.
