PET HOLIDAY PARTY
Because cats and dogs like nothing more than to be dressed up (as you can clearly see from how happy this cat looks), why not throw a party just for them and their adorable outfits? Imagine: a gathering with multiple puppies dressed in Santa hats. If that's not Christmas joy, we don't know what is. Bonus points if you can construct a makeshift photo area complete with an instant camera so that you and your friends can take holiday-themed, squee-worthy photos with fluffy. They can always use the photos for next year's Xmas card.
CHRISTMAS CAST-OFF GIFT EXCHANGE
Re-gifting — the act of handing off one of your previously received unwanted gifts to someone else — may be considered tacky in some circles, but when everyone's doing it, it can't be that bad, right? Have all of your friends come over with one of last Christmas' cast-offs — a leopard-print Snuggie, an automatic-twirling spaghetti fork, or a hot-pink clip-on tie. Make sure everyone's gifts are wrapped and then play a version of "White Elephant," where people can pick from the pile or steal someone else's new acquisition. One person's trash is another's recycling!
GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING COMPETITION
Why not take a charming childhood tradition and turn it into a cutthroat competition? Have all of the supplies for traditional gingerbread house building ready, but also chose a judge and a few different categories (such as most creative, best construction, best candy curating, etc.). If you want to make things more interesting, chose a theme for the competitors (the more random, the better), set a timer, and ready, set, GO!
12 DAYS OF APPETIZERS PARTY
Christmas cookies are great, but that doesn't mean that we aren't as excited about savory holiday snacks (cheese everywhere!). Instead of hosting a cookie swap, have friends bring their favorite xmas appetizers for an app-only potluck–no main dishes invited! And yes, make one person bring cookies.
