Depending on your hosting style, it can be a simple, intimate affair hosted in your home or a big event you host at a sensational Peerspace dinner party venue<\/a>. We’ll share a few awesome venue suggestions ahead alongside our guide full of fun Christmas dinner party ideas that will get everyone in the holiday spirit. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Choosing the perfect holiday venue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"coworking <\/picture>

Not every Christmas dinner has to take place in your own dining room. These days, many hosts look beyond restaurants and private homes to find unique spaces that match their holiday vision. Some opt for Airbnb-style dining settings<\/a>, like farmhouse-inspired dining rooms, chic lofts, or cozy cabins, which combine the warmth of home with the flexibility of a larger venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine long farmhouse tables draped with greenery, or a modern city loft decked out with twinkling lights. Picking a space that already has character makes decorating easier and helps your Christmas dinner party feel both stylish and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once you find the perfect venue, it takes only mere moments to book. It’s an easy and surefire way to plan a dinner party<\/a> that ensures you and your loved ones are feeling the Christmas magic this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get decorative and design the perfect tablescape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Elegant <\/picture>

Of course, you all will spend most of the party at the dinner table, so make it beautiful and festive! At each place setting, set up place cards with your guests\u2019 names on them. The place cards can be red and green or Christmas shapes like gifts, sleighs, or trees. Use a tablecloth and placemats, chargers, cloth napkins, napkin rings, and consider adding a table runner (it could even be a strip of fake snow made of cotton!). The Dollar Store is an excellent place to find elegant tableware for less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can top the table with snowy trees and snowmen to create a winter wonderland look or pine cones and holly from a craft store. Gather a collection of reindeer and other Christmas characters to create a scene, or stick to a traditional nativity scene if you celebrate the holiday as part of Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish the look with candles. You can use real or battery-operated votives to set the mood. For a Friendsmas party<\/a>, tailor your playlist to your group\u2019s tastes. Go for pine or cinnamon scents, or use unscented. Whatever you choose, just make sure the scent isn\u2019t so overpowering that your guests lose their appetites. For even more year-round\u00a0dinner party tablescape inspiration<\/a>, check out our guide on elevating any dining table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Have a festive Christmas movie marathon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Indoor <\/picture>

For a festive ambiance, play your favorite Christmas movies in the background at your dinner party. Great go-to choices are A Christmas Story<\/em>, Miracle on 34th Street<\/em>, The Santa Claus(e)<\/em>, Elf<\/em>, How the Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em> (the Jim Carrey live-action version, of course), Home Alone<\/em>, The Holiday<\/em>, The Polar Express<\/em>, Christmas with the Kranks<\/em>, <\/em>and It\u2019s A Wonderful Life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an adults-only dinner party idea: pair the movie marathon with a drinking game! This works best with Hallmark or Hallmark-style Christmas movies (like Netflix originals) that are so ridiculous, you can\u2019t help but laugh. (Love at the Christmas Table<\/em> is a great one). Come up with rules like every time a cliche occurs, such as love at first sight or magic saves the day, guests have to take a shot. If you go with this idea, please play responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Set the mood with a playlist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All dinner parties need music, and the Bing Crosby Christmas classics are perfect for playing in the background while you enjoy a meal with friends. For more song inspiration, check out this Spotify playlist<\/a>. You also can\u2019t go wrong with Michael Buble and Mariah Carey\u2019s Christmas albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Give the gift of Christmas cocktails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"christmas <\/picture>

The tree isn\u2019t the only thing that will be lit at your party. Get in the holiday spirit with festive spirits. Think sangria, hot cider, and mulled wine, and ditch regular old eggnog for eggnog coladas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it happen when you book a Christmas-themed bar through Peerspace (yes, those exist and are awesome!), such as this Ugly Sweater bar in Chicago, IL<\/a>. Here’s it’s Christmas year-round and the bartenders definitely know a thing or two about crafting tasty holiday-themed drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve the drinks in holiday-themed stemless wine glasses, and get some paper straws for extra flair. For an extensive list of decadent drink recipes, check out this slideshow<\/a> on Delish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Place gifts at the table <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Party favors aren\u2019t just for kids\u2019 parties. Spread holiday cheer by leaving a gift at each place setting. Here are some gift ideas under $10: candles, bath bombs (you can find Christmas-themed ones at LUSH or Target), chocolate, mini bottles of alcohol, or stationery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of consumable or useful gifts that everyone will appreciate. You can even place them in tiny stockings or acrylic gift boxes to be extra festive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Make the food festive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The <\/picture>

A dinner party can feature a three-course meal, just appetizers, or whatever you want. Many traditional Christmas foods are pretty similar to Thanksgiving fare, but every culture has special holiday foods. For Christmas Day, some of the most common eats are sugar cookies, fudge, peppermint bark, dinner rolls, turkey, ham, roast beef, Tofurkey, stuffing, pies, tamales, potato salad, casseroles, fruit cakes, and puddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you decide to serve can reflect your culture if you want, but it should always take into consideration the dietary considerations of everyone invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Host a Christmas karaoke battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some Christmas hits are just meant to be belted out loud after a few glasses of champagne. Get silly with a Christmas karaoke battle. Some perfect karaoke songs are \u201cLast Christmas,\u201d \u201cSanta Baby,\u201d \u201cAll I Want for Christmas is You,\u201d and \u201cWalking in a Winter Wonderland.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have microphones or a karaoke video game, simply use a projector or smart TV to pull up karaoke versions of Christmas songs on YouTube and display them on a big screen. But if you want to go all out, consider booking a private karaoke bar<\/a> through Peerspace, such as this expansive and swanky club lounge in Winter Park, FL<\/a>. It provides you with a large kitchen, a marble bar, a karaoke system, fun colorful lights, and an optional catering package if you want someone else to cook up a tasty Christmas dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Eve is a huge deal, too. Check out our festive Christmas Eve party ideas<\/a> to celebrate yours right!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

9. Play some party games with a Christmas twist <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Amazing <\/picture>

Ask your guests about the games they grew up playing with their families during the holidays, or give traditional games a hint of Christmas magic. You can play the card game Spoons with candy canes instead of utensils. Or, create or find an online trivia game based on popular Christmas songs and movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Feel the love (and sugar rush!) and decorate cookies together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"a <\/picture>

It isn’t a Christmas party without adorably decorated desserts! And there’s something about the holidays that makes cozying up in the kitchen together a must. So why not combine these two facts and set aside time at your Christmas dinner party to have a sugar cookie decorating party? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas dinner party ideas like this are much easier to pull off when you book a stylish and well-equipped kitchen rental venue<\/a> through Peerspace. Just check out all the amazing spots we have available near you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply already-baked sugar cookies and tubs of colorful frosting, Christmas-colored sprinkles, decorating icing tubes for eyes, smiles, and writing, and seasonal M&Ms. Then, let your guests get crazy and design their own sweet treats, be it Christmas ornaments, Santas, snowmen, whatever they like. After the desserts are decorated, it’s time to dig in! Don’t forget to serve hot cocoa and egg nog to wash it all down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
