Fun & Festive Santa-Themed Christmas Party Ideas
Santa Claus is coming to town, and he’s bringing the party with him! If you’re searching for festive holiday party themes, nothing beats a classic Santa celebration.
A Santa-themed Christmas party combines classic holiday cheer with playful details that both kids and adults will adore. From setting a whimsical tablescape to curating a Santa-approved menu, here’s how to deck the halls for the merriest bash of the season!
Start by setting the scene with classic red and white Christmas decorations, incorporating pops of emerald green and pastel pink. For a playful statement, add a balloon garland in holiday hues, mixing various shapes and sizes.
We recommend leaning into the sweet side of the season and decorating with peppermint-themed accents. From candy cane balloons to peppermint striped table runners, this classic candy complements the Santa theme perfectly.
Tie it all together with a showstopping centerpiece, like this Santa Head Vase Container. A bestselling Christmas decoration, it instantly adds a touch of magic to any tablescape. We suggest filling it with a winter floral arrangement or festive treats to complete the look.
Although this party is primarily red and white, don’t be afraid to pop in some pink. Soft blush tones and pastel pink Santa decorations bring an extra dose of whimsy and charm to any holiday gathering. Whether you display a pink Papa Noel pitcher or hang a pink Santa wall decoration, this sweet hue adds a chic touch while keeping things playful and on-theme.
The perfect Santa party table calls for classic colors, whimsical patterns, and the jolly man himself! Start by layering some Santa plates and napkins with coordinating chargers and guest towels. Mixing and matching with patterns and solids helps bring your table to life and ensures each setting looks elevated and intentional.
If you want your party to have a classic North Pole feel, opt for bold stripes and eye-catching designs. Simply pair your Santa party supplies with our Cherry Red Cabana Stripe Plates, Napkins, and Cups for a setting that’s both stylish and playful.
For a chic, modern take, soften the look with our solid party pieces. Whether you layer a classic Santa face plate with a Cherry Red Dinner Plate, or pair a Santa Napkin with a Petal Pink Guest Towel, solid colors will help ground the look and beautifully highlight your accent pieces.
Don’t forget the finishing touches! We suggest accompanying each setting with a Christmas cracker or a festive surprise ball. These classic favors double as both decoration and entertainment, making your gathering feel extra fun and thoughtful.
No Santa party is complete without festive food to match the decor! We recommend serving an array of sweets like Santa-shaped sugar cookies, peppermint cupcakes, and hot cocoa with candy cane stirrers. For something a little heartier, opt for mini sandwiches and a “Santa-approved” charcuterie board.
Finally, be sure to keep the laughter flowing with holiday activities catered to both kids and adults. From decorating Santa cookies to singing Christmas karaoke, there are lots of fun ways to engage your guests and make many merry memories.
