12 Festive Winter Baby Shower Ideas (2025)

Looking for amazing winter baby shower ideas for your most exciting event to date? Spring is the season of beginnings and new life, making it a magical time to welcome a new baby. But before you can say hello to a spring baby, you’ll need to welcome them with a winter baby shower.

The best events are held at the best event venues, which is also something we at Peerspace can help you with. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals and makes it easy to uncover and book unique spaces that make hosting a baby shower easy.

Thanks to the frosty snow and winter holidays, this season provides tons of opportunities to inspire and elevate your baby shower. Use these 12 festive winter baby shower ideas to design a totally unforgettable party, along with some venue suggestions courtesy of Peerspace.

1. Book a cozy winter setting that spark joy 

Winter baby showers feel especially magical when you embrace the season in your choice of venue. A fireplace-lit lodge, a snow-dusted cabin, or even a bright greenhouse filled with evergreens can all set the perfect tone for a cozy celebration.

Some families lean toward an Airbnb-style baby shower venue during this season, since it offers that homey warmth while still feeling unique. Pair the space with twinkling lights, soft blankets, and hot cocoa, and you’ll have a setting that makes the whole day feel extra festive.

2. Wander in a forest of Christmas trees for a photo op

If you’re planning a baby shower that takes place around the holidays, a Christmas tree can help you curate your wintry decor. They’re the epitome of warm and cozy holiday cheer, and you can make them special for the occasion with baby-themed ornaments.

3. Decorate with frosty balloons

Balloons automatically make any parties more fun and festive — and they don’t even have to try. Try using balloons in colors like blue and white to elevate your winter baby shower’s theme. Or, you could use balloons in holiday shades of red and green to capture a little holiday spirit, depending on your hosting date.

4. Make a balloon Christmas tree for something different

Ok, you love balloons, and you love Christmas trees… are you thinking what we’re thinking? If you thought, “make a Christmas tree out of balloons,” we’re totally on the same page!  

5. Don’t let in the cold, bring on the fake snow 

The weather outside is frightful, yes. But all that winter snow looks totally gorgeous. So, why not bring some fake snow into your baby shower decor? Faux snow works beautifully in baby shower displays, like dessert tables, gift displays, or photo backdrops.

6. Let the twinkle lights shine baby shower-bright

What is it about twinkle lights that create a magical, enchanting environment? Try using strands of twinkle lights to mimic falling snow and create a mystical winter wonderland environment. Turn to this Cameron Hills, CA event space warehouse for inspiration, with hundreds of tiny cool twinkle lights that create a to-die-for winter wonderland. 

7. Warm up with hot cocoa 

While everyone is enjoying plenty of wintry baby shower fun, they’ll need some refreshments to refuel. May we suggest some warm and toasty hot cocoa? A hot cocoa bar is a cute way to upgrade your winter baby shower’s style — and have an excuse to savor chocolatey goodness while you’re at it. If you need a spot to prepare your goodies, a kitchen rental venue through Peerspace can help you get the job done. 

8. …Or maybe with coffee? 

Ok, hot cocoa isn’t for everyone. If you’re more of a coffeeholic instead, try setting up a coffee bar for your guests. Wintry offerings you could bring to the table include winter-themed creamers or yummy toppings like caramel and whipped cream. You’ll get the same warm fuzziness from cocoa alongside the energizing coffee kick. Just make sure you have decaf on hand for an expectant mom! 

9. Decorate with faux florals to create a warm winterscape

Flowers can help you brighten a room with their flashy colors and greenery. While the flowers outside might be asleep for the season, you can still light up a room with a little help from faux flowers.

10. Get away to a log cabin nestled in the woods

Pop quiz: what’s the coziest location for a winter getaway? If you guessed cabin, you’re totally right! So, why not host your baby shower at one of these ultimate winter locations? You can find rentable cabins on Peerspace. A stone fireplace looks incredibly inviting and ideal for gathering and giving the mom-to-be her shower gifts. Getting snowed in never seemed so appealing! 

11. Unwrap gifts by a roaring fire

Is the mom-to-be more of a city girl? Then she may prefer cozying up by this fireplace than one on a forested log cabin. Either way, there’s nothing like a roaring fire to warm you up on a cold winter’s day. That makes it the perfect spot to unwrap baby shower gifts. Keep an eye out for venues with a cozy fireplace. Whether it’s gas or wood-burning, the fire will warm expectant parents as they unwrap gifts for their upcoming bundle of joy. 

12. Warm up with a heated pool 

Who says swimming is just for the summer? How cool would it be to take a dip in a heated pool at a winter baby shower? Wouldn’t it be amazing to dip your toes in a toasty pool while snow falls outside? It’s a super cool winter baby shower idea for those who crave unique experiences.
