The Best Christmas Party Themes

I love Christmas and all of the fun Christmas parties we get to attend! It’s always fun to see other’s Christmas decor and Christmas cookies while catching up with family and friends over the holidays.

We’ve been to our fair share of ugly Christmas sweater parties and gingerbread house making parties. And while those, and gift exchange games, are classics and always a blast, I wanted to think of some new Christmas party themes this year. 

So this year I’m focusing on unique Christmas party themes filled with super fun Christmas party ideas!

And if you want to make sure you throw the best Christmas party ever, make sure and check out my tips!

Christmas Party Themes for Adults

Leave the kids at home and throw an adult-only Christmas party! These party themes are perfect for getting the grown ups together and letting loose!

The theme of this party is to mingle and get to know one another! Serve up some of your favorite holiday treats (like this cranberry orange bread), one of these Christmas appetizers, decorate with beautiful Christmas forestry, and enjoy mingling all night long.

    How is Christmas already here? Time just flies. These are such fun ideas. I also think it’s the perfect time, amidst the fun Christmas festivities, to get a fresh kitchen cabinet painting. We need one anyways, why not gift it for Christmas? Anyways, thanks for these delightful ideas.
