Xmas Party Ideas
Christmas Party Ideas for Work, Family or Friends Xmas Events
Xmas parties are the annual staple of the season and a great way to celebrate the triumphs of the past year. Are you in charge of planning your next Christmas party? Well, you’re lucky because we have 10 Christmas party ideas encompassing anything and everything you need to consider! If you’re organising a work Xmas party you might want to head here for further inspo.
1. A Paint & Sip Xmas Party With Pinot & Picasso
Christmas can be magical, stressful, happy, overwhelming and expensive! At Pinot & Picasso we take the stress out of hosting large groups or catching up with friends and family in your house, and let you connect through painting, music and good times in our arty studios. This Christmas, Let There Be Paint! Find a session near you.
2. Christmas Long Lunch
Nothing says Christmas quite like a long lunch with your crew. Celebrate the year that’s been over exciting conversation and a tantalising long lunch. We offer catering at our in-studio sessions or we can do a pop paint & sip session at your cafe or restaurant of choice too!
3. Give Back to the Community This Christmas
Spread the Xmas cheer and embrace the true meaning of Christmas by doing something special for those in need. You may want to replace gift giving with donating to a charity close to each guest’s heart. Or arranging for part of the celebrations to include creating hampers to share with those in need.
4. Incorporate a Theme
Having a theme at your party does take it up a level and allows guests to bond over their matching outfits and forge unforgettable memories. You can’t go wrong with the classics like; White Christmas, Ugly Sweaters, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, or Carol-oke. For an adults-only Christmas party, why not get a little silly with a Vegas Christmas, Holiday Comedy Roast, or Après Ski theme.
5. Christmas Cocktail Ideas
Keep things interesting this Christmas party with a dedicated festive drink menu! We’re talking Christmosas, Jingle Juice, Holiday Punch, White Christmas Martinis, and whatever fun creations you can think of! Whether you prefer it shaken or stirred, you have the option to bring your own cocktails to our in-studio Pinot & Picasso events!
6. Xmas Party Games Ideas
We highly recommend incorporating games and activities at your next tinsel-decked soiree to help break the ice between guests and offer a fun-filled evening. Organise an impromptu talent show – with Christmas carols and cocktails aplenty. Grab a P&P at-home kit, have everyone bring their favourite wine, and get busy creating a masterpiece! For those who like a challenge, organise a gingerbread house-building competition. Compete in pairs or divide into teams, may the best builders win!
7. Secret Santa
Whether you encourage thoughtful presents or prank gifts, Secret Santa (or Kris Kringle) is an absolute must at your Christmas party. Make sure you explain the rules and have everything organised ahead of time – we also recommend having a backup gift or two to allow for any mishaps.
8. Organise a Christmas Quest
Get the gang together and partake on a Christmas Quest or scavenger hunt. Because why wouldn’t you want to flex your competitive nature at Christmas and bond over your wins (or loses) as a team. Involve prizes like a paint & sip gift card, bottle of champagne or chocolates!
9. Take a Christmas Vacay
Depending on the size of your Christmas party group, you could really shake things up this year with a Christmas vacay. Escape your day-to-day routine and book an Airbnb a couple of hours out of town, organise a camping trip or go all-out with an overseas trip! Hello Bali! Psst, you can still attend a pinot & picasso session while holidaying across Australia and New Zealand.
10. Christmas Party Pub Crawl
Why settle on one location for your Christmas party, when you can have many?! Whether you’re starting at a Pinot & Picasso paint & sip session, or coming straight from Christmas lunch a pub crawl can be a great way to let your hair down with your crew this Christmas!
