Ugly Christmas sweater cocktail party<\/h3>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Christmas just wouldn\u2019t be Christmas without an ugly sweater cocktail party. The funny thing about these knitwear nightmares is that what started out as an amusing clich\u00e9, has turned into an entire Christmas subculture. A quick search on the internet and you\u2019ll find hundreds of ugly results and places to get your hands on them. With so many options available these days, you can tailor your sweater to your personality, or go one better and DIY it. Another fun idea is to create quirky awards categories and let sweater imaginations run wild. Pick a few categories like \u2018most traditional\u2019, \u2018most rock \u2018n roll\u2019, or \u2018most outrageous\u2019 then inform your guests ahead of time for best results.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas karaoke cocktail party<\/h3>\n

\"Guests<\/p>\n

You know it\u2019s the festive season when you start hearing Mariah Carey\u2019s Christmas album everywhere. It starts in shopping malls and pretty soon you\u2019re hearing it in your sleep. What better way to embrace the tradition of Christmas musical classics, than by belting them out with your friends? That\u2019s right, the Christmas karaoke (or carol-oke if you\u2019re feeling zany) is a cocktail party just waiting to happen. Go big and rent a proper karaoke machine, or hook up a mic and go DIY with YouTube. Think of all the glorious Christmas tunes you can sing for your neighbors! Lucky them…\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you are among friends, the idea of standing up and doing justice to Mariah’s <\/span>All I want for Christmas <\/span><\/i>can be daunting. Luckily, we\u2019ve got a good old fashioned courage booster in the form of, you guessed it, an<\/span> Old Fashioned<\/span><\/a>.

Bad gift cocktail party<\/h3>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u2018Tis the season for giving so get into the spirit with a bad gift-giving party. Some people are lucky enough to have a regiftable bad gift stashed away in a cupboard somewhere, but another easy alternative is to set a cheap and cheerful bad gift budget. The rules for bad gifts are simple: it must be unisex and preferably something that is reusable so the gift can keep on giving\u2014literally. All the gifts will go into a big pile and throughout the course of the night, you get to hand them out. Keep the gifts anonymous and make your guests guess who bought what gifts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cocktail pairing:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For an evening of bad-gift fun, our<\/span> Christmas Negroni<\/span><\/a> is a great cocktail fit. Its bittersweet profile matches the experience of receiving a bad gift perfectly. The added Christmas spice sets a festive mood, and you can even blend them in batches ahead of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The great elf hunt<\/h3>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Elf on a Shelf is a Christmas tradition that started in 2005. After the release of the children\u2019s book by the same name, parents were moving elf decorations from room to room nightly for their kids to find in the morning. The idea is that the elves are keeping an eye on who’s being naughty or nice in the lead-up to Christmas. Our cocktail theme idea turns this much-loved tradition into the <\/span>Great Elf Hunt<\/span><\/i>. It\u2019s a <\/span>Christmas cocktail party<\/span> elf scavenger hunt that all your guests can take part in. The person who finds the most elves<\/span>,<\/span> wins something nice. But if you want to be naughty then you also give the winner an elf costume that they must wear for the rest of the evening. Oh, you sneaky naughty elf you!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cocktail pairing:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s an elf convention we might as well keep the ball rolling with the Naughty Elf cocktail. It\u2019s essentially just a mix of your favorite fruit juices with club soda and spiked with orange liqueur, pomegranate liqueur, and rum. You can even make it punch style and let guests help themselves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas cocktail party tips<\/h2>\n

Food<\/h3>\n

\"Start<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re hosting a formal cocktail party, keep the food simple. Think party platters with a Christmas flavor. A great way to plan snacks is to think of your guest’s experience. Where will be most of the time? Will they be sitting or standing? Will they have a drink in one hand? Do they need cutlery, or will toothpicks get the job done?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The stress-free route is to have cold platters already prepared in the fridge. Pick a couple of hot (easy to make) items that are prepared when guests arrive. Anything that can be picked up and eaten in one bite is ideal. Think pigs in a blanket, stuffed mushrooms, devilled eggs, or goat cheese balls rolled in a festive spice mix. Charcuterie and cheese boards are always a winner, and whole baked camembert with crackers always looks impressive<\/span> and a<\/span>re downright delicious<\/span>.

Decorations<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

As festive fever hits, the urge to buy every available decoration comes out of hibernation like a rabid grizzly bear. Our advice is to keep things festive<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span> but cocktail<\/span>–<\/span> party<\/span>–<\/span> classy. Less is more and a color scheme like all silver or black and gold help bring cohesion to the party. Good lighting is a great way to add a subtle mood and LED Christmas lights are a great budget-friendly solution. But if Christmas decorations are your obsession, don\u2019t let us stop you from rigging your entire house with lights that flash in tune to your favorite carols.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Music<\/h3>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

With all the streaming services available these days, it\u2019s never been easier to create your own Christmas playlist. Our advice is to mix up the Christmas classics with some modern counterparts. Try to match the music with the tempo of the evening and you\u2019ll have a winning playlist. Just don\u2019t forget to liberally sprinkle in some Mariah Carey here and there.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
