12 Festive Christmas Gender Reveal Ideas To Merrily Celebrate (2024)

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.

For example, you can book a Christmas dinner party gender reveal at this stunning mid-century Scandinavian home in Los Angeles, CA for a family dinner. Imagine how cute this space would look with a few added Christmas touches! Then, when it’s time for dessert to be served — bring out a very special cake that’s blue or pink inside!

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!

This would be a beautiful reveal idea for both a Christmas gender reveal party and a photoshoot. Especially if you book a gorgeous Christmas-themed home on Peerspace, like this one in North Carolina, for the big reveal!

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

Nothing says Christmas quite like a roaring fireplace next to the Christmas tree. For example, check out how magical the Christmas vibes can be by the fireplace in this ultra-modern high-end luxury waterfront cottage on Lake Ontario!  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, like this historic luxury loft in the Chicago suburbs. 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, like this adorable venue in New York City? 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 Peerspace like this rustic cozy cabin in Winchester, VA 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? Then check out Mickey’s magic paradise Disney-themed home in Kissimmee, FL. It is room after room of Disney delights and perfect for a gender reveal event!

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. If you opt to go the photography route, this Chicago photo studio’s adorable Christmas setup would be the ideal location to open such a gift!

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. We love this Christmas gender reveal ornament from SarahsVinylShop on Etsy as one suggestion.

And as for the location for this special ornament reveal? How about this vintage multi-set fashion studio in Los Angeles, CA? Its full-sized Christmas tree has been lovingly decorated and looks especially great with the rest of the decor in the room.

10. Involve your other little ones in the big reveal

Involving your kiddos in the big reveal can be so much fun — and it’s also a great opportunity for a family portrait sesh! So don your best Christmas pajamas, hire a fantastic photographer, and take beautiful gender reveal and portrait photos in a gorgeous professional photo studio rental, like this Christmas set for holiday photos in Alexandria, VA.

Check out what a photographer shared in their Peerspace review after working here: “This Christmas set was exactly what we needed. It was clean, well organized and a pleasure to use.”

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!
