You’ve sent out invitations. You’ve picked out your tacky sweater. But what else does it take to put together the perfect holiday party? This blog is your map to planning out the perfect party, from what sort of snacks to serve, which games to play, and how to decorate. Plus, there’s an easy recipe for an easy alcoholic hot chocolate at the end for the adults at the party.

Crowd-Pleasing Snacks

When you’ve got Jack Frost knocking at your door, keep your guests warm inside with some slow-cooker grape jelly meatballs. Grape jelly on meatballs may sound odd, but have faith: these tasty little morsels are going to be your new go-to at every party from here on out, and your guests will thank you for it. For some vegetarian fare, check out these parmesan-crusted Brussels sprouts. Yes, Brussels sprouts. They’re good for you, and they’re delicious.

Games for Guests

Once you’re warmed by the food in your belly, it’s time for festivities to begin! Make sure to let all of your guests know they should come bundled up in their ugliest sweater and set up a tacky holiday contest! Set up a jar and let people anonymously vote, and make sure you bring your “A”-game! After all, a host should set a good example. When you want things to quiet down, try a game of holiday charades, where your guests act out words like reindeer, Grinch, and even Saint Nick himself.

Dash through Paper Snow

When your guests arrive at your holiday party, make sure they know they’re at the right home. String lights around your mailbox and the perimeter of your roof, and make a DIY wreath for your front door. If you’re feeling extra festive, line your mantle with stockings stuffed with goodie bags for each one of your guests!

Twisted Hot Chocolate

While your guests are sure to be a fan of any holiday beverage you serve, this Kahlúa hot chocolate is definitely going to be what leaves people thinking about your holiday party all year long.

You’ll need:

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

1 ounce Kahlúa coffee liqueur

Follow these steps:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in Kahlúa. Serve immediately, and enjoy responsibly!

Whether you’re hosting a few close personal friends or having the whole department over for a holiday party, these tips are an easy way to make sure that your party is a success that has people looking forward to the holidays year after year.

What make the holidays such a special time for friends and family are the traditions that come along with them. And each family has their own – whether it’s something as simple as grandma bringing her world-famous eggnog or ditching the hours of cooking for take out. So, for this holiday season, why not start some new traditions? We’ve put together a few creative ideas that’ll help you get in the holiday spirit and create memories you’ll cherish long after the season is over.

1. Bake Off

A little friendly competition is a fun way to kick off the holidays. The kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not invite your friends and family over for some baking goodness. Get the kids involved and let them help you measure ingredients, try new recipes, old family recipes and everything you can think of. As the years go by and everyone’s baking skills develop, you can take it to the next level by introducing a special ingredient they must use for the competition. Plus, take some treats to your neighbors and spread the cheer!

2. Declutter & Donate

With the new year right around the corner, the holidays offer the perfect opportunity to get a fresh new start. While you’re going through your storage to get decorations, look around and see what things you haven’t used in years. Get the whole family involved and everyone can choose a few items to donate, such as old coats, blankets, hats, boots and baby clothing.  

3. Matching PJs on Christmas Eve

To ease the anticipation of Christmas for the little ones, many families allow them to open one present the day before, but you can add to this tradition! Instead of letting the kids open up their new game console that’ll have them sitting in front the television for hours, gift everyone in the family matching pajamas. They can look forward to getting new pajamas every year and your family will be ready for pictures the next day.

4. Random Acts of Kindness

With all the madness that goes on during the holiday season, it’s easy to forget the real meaning of it. Try to incorporate acts of kindness into your family’s traditions. Pay for someone’s order at a drive thru, fill a parking meter, deliver flowers to the nurse’s station at your local hospital or make a family day out of it and volunteer at a soup kitchen. During dinner, take a few minutes to reflect and go around the table and see how everyone helped spread the holiday spirit.

5. Holiday Lights

Take a stroll or drive around your neighborhoods in search of the brightest and most creative lights display. Make note of some of your favorite homes and neighborhoods and come back every year and see if they’ve outdone themselves. Plus, take some inspiration and apply your ideas to your own home!

6. Annual Movie

The great thing about holiday movies is that they are truly timeless. Movies like Elf, Home Alone, The Nightmare Before Christmas and others capture the spirit of the season – and best of all, they come in many genres! You loved them when you were a kid and you love them as you get older, often finding new things about them that you might have previously missed. That’s why choosing a movie that the whole family can watch over and over again is a great tradition!
