  • Decorate the party space with decorations that pay tribute to your favorite Christmas movies. Make sure to play some of the best holiday classics on your TV!
  • Tell all of the guests to dress as a character from their favorite Christmas movie.
  • Get creative with it! Don’t just go as Santa. Go as something that will wow your friends and family.
  • Best-dressed character wins a prize!

Everybody loves a good costume party, and this character-themed Christmas idea will leave everyone talking about this year’s get-together.


Ugly Christmas Sweater Game Night

Ugly Christmas sweater parties are always fun, and this year, we are going to combine it with another entertaining party theme. The Ugly Christmas Sweater Game Night is competitive fun that makes for a memorable holiday! Take on your friends in some of these hysterical games and rock your favorite ugly Christmas sweater.

  • Guests show up wearing their best ugly Christmas sweaters.
  • Select the games that will be played for the night. Spice the party up with drinking games, like the always-entertaining Tipsey Land.
  • Set up a game night in a tournament style.
  • Keep track of who becomes champion at each game.
  • Whoever has the most total championships at the end wins the game night. 

Even when a winner is crowned, the party must go on! Make the Ugly Christmas Sweater Game Night a part of your holiday every year.


Gag Gift Present Exchange

The Gag Gift Present Exchange is the perfect outrageous Christmas party theme for any family looking to pee themselves laughing at this year’s get-together. It’s hilarious, competitive, and just downright fun. Here’s how you can host a Gag Gift Present Exchange:

  • Each person coming to the party brings a wrapped, unmarked gag gift—anything that will make your friends laugh or that you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself.
  • Place the wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree or in a designated area.
  • The names of each guest are chosen from a hat, determining who gets to pick a present first.
  • The guest who is picking first has to pick a present and unwrap it (there’s a catch).
  • The guest with the second pick can either choose an unwrapped gift or steal the gift that the other guest opened.
  • If the guest with the first pick gets their gift stolen, they pick another gift from the pile.
  • Once everyone has had a turn to choose a gift, the game is over, and the party begins!

    Additional rules:
    • A gift can’t be immediately stolen back.
    • A gift can only be stolen twice.

Give the Gag Gift Present Exchange party a try this year, and you will be laughing all the way to the new year.
