Christmas Party Themed Ideas
 
It's that time of year again. Time for gorgeous blooms, carol singing, camping, carnivals, decorating, celebrating and Santa! If you're planning a Christmas party this year, our top tips will help you make it and even more magical event.

Christmas party décor

With a bit of creativity, you can easily transform your house or flat into a Christmas wonderland.

Seasonal colours: Be it in the form of candles, potpourri, curtains, doormats or flowers, red and green accents throughout the party venue will get your guests in a festive mood.
Christmas tree: Choose from a variety of artificial Christmas trees, they are affordable and come in a variety of sizes and looks. If you want to avoid the hassle of lighting your tree, go for pre-lit Christmas trees.
 

 Christmas tree ornaments: You can decorate your Christmas tree yourself or even have your guests decorate the tree! Ball ornaments in silver, red and gold look best as do fun Christmas embellishments like a holly in a glass, jingle bells, seashell ornaments and paper craft ornaments.
Christmas themed decorations: How about an inflatable Santa for this year's party or a Santa piñata. Add reindeers for extra pizzazz! And don't forget the stockings? Our favourite this year is the diamond-argyle and plaid Christmas stocking.

 

 

 

Christmas costumes

What's more fun than a Christmas party? A costume themed Christmas party, of course! Dress up and have your guests dress up too, in Christmas costumes such as Santa or Mrs. Claus, elves, angels, snowman or snowwoman, Santa's little helper and the gingerbread man.

Christmas party menu ideas

The best party has got to have the best food! Here are our top picks by category:

Appetisers: For a classy touch, go for antipasto kebabs, almond-bacon cheese crostinis and apricot wraps. To keep things simple, just make sure there are enough dips and an assortment of bread to go around.
Entrées: Herb roasted turkey breast, garlic crusted beef, smoked salmon filets, lamb roast, turkey and wild rice casserole, pecan-parmesan pork, fig and orange glazed ham and roast goose are excellent choices.
Sides: Stick with simple side dishes like salads, mushrooms with peas, potato au gratin, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with gravy.
Desserts: Ask guests to bring desserts such as cheesecake, brownies, cupcakes, berry trifles, fig and ginger pudding.
Beverages: Sangria punch, watermelon frappes, iced lemon tea, strawberry apple punch and champagne are all great ideas for your party.
