12 Festive Christmas Gender Reveal Ideas To Merrily Celebrate (2025)

Christmas is right around the corner, but so is another exciting event – your baby’s gender reveal! Combine the beauty of Christmas with the excitement of your gender reveal using these 12 festive Christmas gender reveal ideas.

Along with event ideas, we’ll also share rentable event venues that you can book through Peerspace. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals and can connect you with amazing event spaces in cities across the globe. All spaces are operated by locals who can lend a hand with your gender reveal party if needed. So if hosting your gender reveal in a space that is stylish and packed with amenities, then you’re going to love Peerspace!

So without further ado, we present our favorite Christmas gender reveal ideas.

1. After Christmas dinner, reveal during dessert

No need to clean the house or even decorate for Christmas dinner or your gender reveal party. Rather, rent a beautifully decorated Peerspace that’s perfect for a combined Christmas dinner and gender reveal! Peerspace is the largest online marketplace of event spaces, and on the website, you can find tons of beautiful Christmas-themed homes around the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

2. Find the answer in a Christmas cracker

Christmas crackers are a popular English tradition — not food! They are small, cylindrically wrapped gifts that are named crackers because when you open them, CRACK! A small amount of gunpowder inside causes the gift to make an exploding noise (a very small exploding noise, albeit). Generally, cute little holiday gifts come flying out of Christmas Crackers but for a gender reveal twist, you can instead hide an item revealing your baby’s gender inside!

3. Light the fire, and find out your baby’s gender!

Nothing says Christmas quite like a roaring fireplace next to the Christmas tree. Add a fun gender reveal twist to this beautiful setting by placing some “magical” logs on the fire. Adding copper chloride to logs can make them turn blue, while the addition of lithium chloride will cause the fire to burn pink!

4. Capture the first reactions to the gender reveal

Capturing those beautiful first reactions is an important element in planning your Christmas gender reveal ideas — so make sure you hire a photographer who is up to the task!

You’ll also want to rent a space with a gorgeous backdrop for your reaction photos. We love the look of the fireplace, couch, and adorable Christmas tree at this venue to capture the moment where your jaw drops, you go in for an excited kiss with your partner, or begin crying happy tears!

5. Let your venue itself be the reveal

Trying to come up with totally unique Christmas gender reveal ideas to announce on social media? How about booking a blue or pink Christmas-themed space? The pink parlor’s Christmas room features pink Christmas trees, pink presents, pink ornaments, pink walls, and more. Taking photos in a space like this is the perfect way to announce your little girl is on the way!

6. Add a new stocking to the mantle

What’s that on the mantel? Your newest family member’s stocking, of course! And what’s inside? The biggest present of the season! A gift revealing the gender of your little one! If you don’t have your own beautiful fireplace and mantle to hang stockings off of, rent a gorgeous venue for the day. It has a warm, rustic ambiance and your eye goes to the stone fireplace and its mantle — and the stockings more specifically!

7. Have Mickey and Minnie help with the big reveal

Boy, have Mickey and Minnie got a surprise for you! During your gender reveal party, have your favorite fictional characters arrive on the scene, dressed up for Christmas and ready to present the big news! Looking for the perfect setting to make pulling off this Christmas gender reveal easy?

8. Open your biggest gift with a gender reveal Christmas present

Under the Christmas tree this year, you’ll find the most exciting gift of the season. Hire a photographer to capture the moment you and your spouse unwrap the gift that reveals your baby’s gender or choose to just open this gift among close friends and family.

9. Hide a special gender reveal ornament on the tree

The answer to the big question is hidden somewhere in the room. Can you find it? Somewhere on the tree is an inconspicuous “it’s a boy” or “it’s a girl” ornament hiding for mom and dad to find.

11. Decorate with beautiful Christmas touches

Your Christmas gender reveal ideas should include the most stunning Christmas touches! Unsure where to start in terms of decoration ideas? This Midtown Manhattan event venue can offer you some beautiful and extravagant ideas for Christmas decorations. The bright red sofa and glowing decorated tree are just enough decorations to give your gender reveal a Christmas feel without overwhelming the big announcement!

12. Involve your furry friends in the announcement

Don’t forget to involve your four-legged friends in the gender reveal surprise! Many Peerspace venues are pet-friendly, so you can invite the *whole* family to be a part of your Christmas gender reveal. Hurray!

To find one near you, head to our platform, enter your location, and then type “pet friendly” in the keyword bar once your search results populate.

Jolly gender reveal games

No Christmas party is complete without a little fun and laughter, and your gender reveal can be the perfect time to mix in a few festive games. Classic baby shower activities can get a holiday twist—think “Pin the Nose on Rudolph” or a Christmas-themed diaper relay race. You could even set up a guessing station under the tree, where guests drop their boy-or-girl predictions into stockings before the big reveal.

Thoughtful games not only keep guests entertained but also build anticipation for the big moment. To make things extra special, hand out small holiday-themed prizes like ornaments or cocoa kits to winners. It’s a lighthearted way to bring everyone together while celebrating your growing family.

And if you’re hosting in a rented venue, many spaces have plenty of room for both dining and play. That way, your guests can mingle, eat, and jump right into the games without feeling cramped.
