Just like all other plans, the holiday season too has been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. And if you are a bit sceptical about Christmas in open spaces this year, then how about throwing a fun Christmas party at home? Order your favourite food, put on some sparkly Christmas lighting and make some LIITs, while you wait to rope in the new year with your pals. So, get creative this year and come up with some new traditions so we can keep one another safe as we head into the new year. ‘Tis the season!
1. Have a Christmas movie marathon
Call your gal pals at home. Change in your warm fuzzy Christmasy PJs and watch binge-watch the good old classics at home. Get the popcorn, champagne and coke ready while you queue up your faves because a movie marathon is a must.
2. Plan a Christmas karaoke night
Singing songs at your favourite pubs on Karaoke night is fun, but what if you recreate the same this year at home? This festive season, show off your voice and host a sing-off at home with all Christmas songs on deck. From All I want for Christmas Is You to Last Christmas, get your playlist ready, while you challenge your pals for some Karaoke session.
3. Bake treats for Santa and yourself
Doing something together as a group is always fun. And what’s better than doing a group cooking this year. Get your Masterchef jackets on, pick up that spatula and make some amazing Christmas treats with your friends. From cookies to cupcakes, you have tonnes of treats to choose. To make things more intense and fun, you can also have a cooking competition between two friends. And the winner gets a present from Santa.
4. Play secret Santa
Christmas celebrations are incomplete without this game. Meet your friends a week before the party, make some chits and plan your version of secret Santa. And then finally, you can have a secret Santa session at the party. What’s more? Well, you can also decorate a tree and keep the gifts beside it. The person who able to guess their secret Santa gets an extra gift from our very own Mr Claus.
5. Make festive cocktails
You can have your very own personal holiday party at home with all the festive cocktails your heart could desire. From Sangrias to Cosmoplotian, you can go all out and make some fun cocktails with your gang at home. What’s even better is the fact that you can drink a bit more without stressing about drinking and driving.
