Cheesy mug parties are the new ugly sweater parties.

Gingerbread House-Making Party

Set up stations with various different toppings and frostings in red or green bowls and watch the Pinterest fails commence.

Grinch Party

The mad love for this movie will never die. Turn your house into Whoville with quirky, whimsical decor, the soundtrack for party music, and some themed props like a sleigh and a Grinch cutout. For food, make Grinch-themed sweets (like these adorbs cupcakes), and serve a roast beast for dinner, obvi.

Wreath-Making Party

You can hang with your besties and DIY your holiday decor all in one.

Winter Wonderland

Even if you don’t live where it snows, you can turn your party into a winter wonderland with all white everything. Bonus points if you get an actual fake snow machine.

Candyland

Start with only red and white decor, add a killer dessert buffet with everyones favorite Christmas sweets, then sneak in candy canes anywhere and everywhere (like as stirrers in milk jars!).
