The concept of theme party is here to stay. We
can see themes everywhere- from birthday parties to wedding parties
to bachelor's parties. So how can a Christmas party be left behind?
This festive season, instead of the run of the mill Christmas party,
we suggest you to throw a theme Christmas party. A lot of people are
nowadays opting for theme Christmas parties. Hence, the choice of
themes is wider. In this article, we have short-listed some of the
most popular Christmas party themes. Read on.
Christmas carnival theme: Christmas carnival theme is the
most apt Christmas party theme to bring in the mood of a Christmas
carnival into your party. Here is how to make the party
arrangements:
- Invitation: Christmas carnival theme is for all ages.
So, keep the party invitation a bit informal and snazzy. A
handwritten invitation will serve the purpose. So, write down a
few lines as to invite your guests and mention the date, place,
time and theme. Fold it and wrap it in an attractive Christmas
paper. Tie some candy canes with a cute bow and hand-deliver it
to your guests.
- Decoration: Apart from the decorated Christmas tree,
decorate your party venue with traditional Christmas
embellishments that will set the mood of a Christmas carnival.
Arrange beautiful sprigs of holly and mistletoe on the
stairways, doorways and railings. Hang blinking Christmas lights
around the windows. Jingle bells are must have for Christmas
carnival party theme. Place them around door handles and kitchen
cabinet knobs. The tinkling sound of bells will create the
perfect mood of a carnival. Do not forget to hang Christmas
wreath on doors.
- Party activities: Your small guests should not feel
bored even for a second. To boost up their enthusiasm, set up a
space called "Santa Workshop" for kids, where they can
"work". Cover your table with a bright red plastic
table cloth and place a couple of bowls of stringables,
pretzels, flavored lifesavers, chocolate pretzel rings, and
jelly rings. The children will love to dig into the bowls to get
their share of eatables. You can add even more sweetness by
including some candy bars.
- Party game (for kids): Children love to play
fun-filled party games. "Snow blowers' challenge" is a
popular party game which is best suited for the Christmas
carnival theme. The game goes like this- four large paper cups
are decorated with Christmas wire ribbons with the open end
upwards. Now, the cups are kept half-filled with candy canes,
chocolate mints and colored pencils. Next, each player is
assigned a paper towel, decorated like the paper cups. A ping
pong ball is placed in front of each of the players. Now, the
players are asked to gently blow through their tube to get the
ping-pong "snow" ball rolling across the table into
one of the paper cups. If the ball rolls down the edge, the
player's chance is over. If the ball makes it into one of the
cups, the players get to pick a prize from that cup. The game
continues till all the cups are empty. This game keeps the small
guests busy during the Christmas carnival theme party.
- Party game (for adults): Why should be adults left
behind? Christmas carnival is a theme for all ages. So, adults
should have equal fun. So, arrange a couple of party games for
adults. Grown-ups would love the game of "Stuff the Santa".
The aim each team is to create the fattest Santa of the game.
The supplies required for this game include an extra large red
one-piece union suit and lots and lots of red balloons. The game
goes like this- two to three teams each of four to six players
are assigned the task of stuffing their Santa's suit, with one
member acting as Santa. They are asked to stuff the Santa with
as many balloons as they can within two minutes. When the time
is out, the number of balloons stuffed inside each Santa is
counted. The team with maximum number of balloons stuffed in
Santa wins the game. The whole joy of this game lies in watching
the lumpy physique of the stuffed Santa!
- Party food: The most interesting, rather decisive
part of the party is the party food. Since Christmas carnival
party theme is all about fun, the food should also be fun! So,
twist the menu a little bit. Instead of serving the usual
platter of vegetables and dip, present a crudi-tree for the
carnival! To make the tree, start with a 12-inch green Styrofoam
cone. Attach some green vegetables like broccoli and olives to
the cone using toothpicks. Add color to it with some red and
yellow peppers. Arrange the vegetable in the form of a Christmas
tree. Make a yellow star from cheese and use it as the Christmas
tree topper. Your guests with love to taste the edible Christmas
tree!
This way, throw a Christmas carnival theme party
and celebrate this festive season in a unique and blissful manner!

with silver-coated Jordan almonds. Brighten the room with
decorative white candles in silver or crystal candleholders.

on a bed of rock salt are great appetizers. Place hollowed-out
shells of white pumpkins and serve brightly-colored foods in
them. Whipped mashed potatoes served with frothy and creamy
