Holiday party themes bring friends and family together to celebrate the most important occasions of the year.

Possible Holiday Party Themes

The major party-worthy holidays include:

  • New Year's – Ring in the new year with a New Year's Eve dinner party or serve brunch the morning after.
  • Valentine's Day – The Valentine's Day party is a long-time classroom staple for the kids. Perhaps a cocktail party could provide a romantic atmosphere for the adults.
  • Easter – Plan an Easter egg hunt for all the kids in your family.
  • Memorial Day – Take advantage of the long weekend to host a backyard barbecue.
  • Fourth of July – July is the perfect month for a beach or pool party. Go patriotic with red, white and blue decorations.
  • Halloween – When you're tired of trick-or-treating, head over to a costume party for hours of fun.
  • Thanksgiving – Show thanks while you enjoy a classic family dinner, or create a new tradition with friends.
  • Hanukkah – Light the menorah with friends and family.
  • Christmas – Get in the Christmas spirit with a gift exchange or plan a small family holiday party.
  • Kwanzaa – Plan a party to celebrate your heritage.

If you want to get more creative with your holiday party themes, consider hosting an event on an unconventional holiday like Groundhog Day or April Fool's Day.

Advice for Planning a Holiday Party

Be aware of other commitments your guests may have. This is especially true in December. However, even your Fourth of July party can be derailed if it conflicts with a town parade or the big fireworks show.

Be careful with faith-based holidays. A company holiday party or school event must be as inclusive as possible. Small gatherings of close family members can more easily accommodate religious observances. In mixed company, you can usually find a middle ground honoring the origin of the holiday while making sure all guests feel comfortable.

Take advantage of the thematic possibilities. You can find holiday party invitations, tableware, and decorations. The holiday can be inspiration for your menu plans and party activities.
