2.Comfort and Joys.
Each guest brings a comfort food to share at this potluck-style dinner party


3.A Christmas Auction.
Invite each guest to bring an unwrapped toy to donate, and then auction off the toys to the highest bidder. Donate the money to a charity or a family in need. Genius tip: If you host a Christmas Auction, use SignUpGenius to let guests share what they plan to donate, so that bidding excitement can start even before the party!

4.Open House.
This drop-in style of party allows guests to come and go as they please. A very casual and relaxed way to see friends over the holidays.


5.The 12 Tastes of Christmas.
Serve 12 courses of hors d’oeuvres and some drinks to your guests. This is best for a smaller group OR could be done as a potluck style where each guest is in charge of bringing one of the courses to take some of the work load off of you!


6.Tacky sweater/outfits
If there is an opposite of the Black Tie Event, this is it! Make sure to offer a prize such as a gift card to either a classy or tacky clothing store for the most ho-ho-horrifically dressed guest.


7.A White Christmas.
Decorations for this theme party can include anything from live lilies to paper origami birds to anything dusted with spray-snow. Invite guests to dress in white as well.


8.Friends of Rudolph.
Invite fellow animal lovers to a party at the local dog-friendly park. Provide snacks for the pooches and their people and a prize for best-dressed pet! Encourage each pet owner to bring a toy, food or cash donation for the local shelter


9.Christmas Minute-To-Win-It.
Take classic minute-to-win-it games and add a holiday spin. “Cookie Face” becomes “Gingerbread Face” or holiday décor can be used for “Stack It Up” game. Divide your guests into teams of eight, and enjoy some grown-up competition.
