1. Virtual Christmas Party

During your virtual Christmas party, host a few rounds of holiday trivia. From movies to history to sports, it's an activity that can get everyone involved.

Pro Tip: Here are 25 virtual Christmas party ideas to help you celebrate online.

4. Chrismukkah Party

Combine Hanukkah with Christmas and there you have it-a Chrismukkah party! It's the best of both worlds and inclusive for two special occasions. For decor, set up a tree and a menorah, use colors like white and gold and incorporate greens, reds, and blues. Create a playlist with Christmas and Hanukkah songs, and serve foods ranging from latkes and challah to eggnog and Christmas cookies.

5. Santa Visit

There's nothing more exciting than a visit from Old Saint Nick. Whether it's for the kids or to cue the nostalgia in adults, a Santa visit is always a great Christmas party idea. Get ready for photo ops, gift giving, and some ho ho ho's and book a Santa visit.

6. Ugly Sweater Party

Everyone loves an ugly Christmas sweater party. Invite your friends over, ugly sweaters required, host a contest for the best (ugliest) sweater, make spiked eggnog, and set up a DIY photo booth area with funny props. This Instagrammable Christmas party idea is a true crowd favorite.

7. Christmas Pajama Party

We also like to call it a winter informal themed party. Requirements: Christmas pajamas, a marathon of Hallmark Christmas movies, mulled wine and/or hot chocolate, and a big charcuterie board. Count us in!

8. Cocktail Making Contest

Have everyone submit a simple (3-4 ingredients) recipe ahead of time, and have all the ingredients ready for the cocktails (or mocktails). You can also have everyone bring their own ingredients for their drinks. Buy small serving cups, and have each guest play bartender while they prepare their cocktail. Vote at the end for a winner!

Pro Tip: You can also hire a bartender to come make a variety of holiday cocktails and taste test a few to pick a favorite of the night!

9. Christmas Karaoke

Having a big celebration with friends? Hire a and host a night of Christmas karaoke. Get ready for multiple versions of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and put Mariah Carey to the test. Serve some Christmas themed-cocktails to help with nerves, and you'll have a friends Christmas party you'll never forget.

10. Christmas Brunch

Brunch is always a good idea-and it's even better when it's Christmas themed. When celebrating with friends, brunch is a great alternative to a nighttime party. Head to your local brunch spot, or host it at home with a mimosa party, Christmas playlist, and muffins/bagels from a local shop.

Company Christmas Party Ideas

It's the most wonderful time of the year to celebrate with the people you work hard with all year round. Kick it up a notch at this year's celebration with some of these company Christmas party ideas.

A photo booth at your company Christmas party is a must! Not only does it get everyone involved, the printables can double as an easy take-home party favor. Between the holiday props and silly poses, everyone will be showing off their prints around the office on Monday!

Pro Tip: Find a local photo booth vendor for a Christmas party .

12. Live Music

What better way to celebrate a favorite holiday than with some live music. Whether it's a or a , live music is unique entertainment that every co-worker will enjoy. Request that your band or musician includes some holiday hits for an extra special touch.

13. White Elephant Gift Exchange

A company gift exchange is always fun, but sometimes it can be tough to find the perfect gift for a coworker. With a white elephant gift exchange , also known as a Yankee swap, you bring a gift to contribute to a common pool that everyone gets to choose from. Before you know it, your coworkers will be picking gifts, stealing from others, and having a blast.

Pro Tip: If you're celebrating virtually this year, there is an easy online version of the white elephant gift exchange.

14. Silent Disco

If you're having your office Christmas party at a more quiet spot, but still want a dance party, a Silent Disco is the way to go. Rent silent disco headphones from a vendor and get ready to dance the night away, without disrupting the rest of the venue. Create your own playlists, and let party goers choose based on their favorite music.

15. Wreath Making

Wreath making is the perfect idea for a company Christmas happy hour. Buy wreaths from a local farmers market, ornaments, holly, and other decor to add to the wreath. Set up a hot toddy bar, and get ready for an interactive company Christmas party idea that everyone will love.

17. Christmas Cookie Swap

At any Christmas party, cookies are a necessity! Have guests make dozens of their favorite Christmas cookie (depending on how many guests at the party), and swap. This way, each guest goes home with a variety of Christmas treats. Use a Google form or some kind of sign up sheet beforehand to avoid any duplicates.

18. Gingerbread House Decorating

You're never too old to decorate a gingerbread house! Grab some gingerbread house kits (or if you're really feeling ambitious, bake your own), icing, and candies, and set up a big table for everyone to sit around. Guests of all ages will enjoy this family Christmas party activity.

19. Holiday Movie Marathon

From Hallmark movies to Christmas classics, there's no short supply for a movie marathon. Have everyone wear their pajamas, make popcorn, and get ready for a relaxing day watching all of your favorite Christmas movies.

20. Gift Exchange

A gift exchange is a great way to get all family members involved in the gifting. Have everyone draw a name ahead of time so that everyone gets a gift. Set a budget and chat with your gift buddy about what they may want for Christmas this year. Older guests will feel like a kid again!
