It’s that time of the year again! Christmas is right around the corner and we are already scrambling to shop for the perfect gifts for our friends and family. And of course, Christmas is not just about gift-giving, it’s also about being with our loved ones and sharing the joy of the holiday season with them. Organizing Christmas parties always comes with a little bit of pressure, but with the tough two years we’ve all had, we deserve a celebration that will easily put everyone in the holiday spirit. Here are a few ideas for you.

Let’s face it—gift shopping is fun but the wrapping part is not. One way to enjoy the task is to have your best friends over and have a quiet dinner while wrapping gifts together! Who says you can’t have fun while getting things done?

3. Christmas Dish Contest

4. Winter Wonderland

Have a white Christmas by hosting a little party or even Noche Buena with a winter wonderland theme. Use white Christmas decorations and table cloths, and hang snowflakes from the ceiling and all over the room. A little air conditioning wouldn’t hurt either!

5. Collect Clothes and Toys to Donate

Help feed hungry families during the holidays by hosting a food drive yourself or coordinating with the local church. Cook the dishes yourself or gather your friends and family to help out. You will not just be sharing your blessings, you will also share this special bonding time with the ones you love.

7. Have a Hot Chocolate Bar

Make Noche Buena extra special by setting up a hot chocolate bar for your guests. Go all out with a bottomless supply of delicious hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows and Christmassy flavored syrups like peppermint and toffee nut.

8. Have a Pajama Party

Enforce a pajama dress code for your Christmas party or Noche Buena. Watch your favorite Christmas-themed movies together while sitting on the floor with lots of pillows and blankets for everyone to share. This will make for a fun and cozy night.

9. Turn Christmas Dinner into a Costume Party
