WHIMSICAL NUTCRACKER CHRISTMAS PARTY IDEAS
'Tis the season for whimsical holiday parties and charming Christmas decor! One of our favorite and most popular themes for this time of year is anything and everything Nutcracker-inspired. There’s just something so nostalgic and magical about the classic Tchaikovsky ballet, so it makes sense that we gravitate toward it for holiday parties or even kids’ birthday parties.
And so, without further ado, we invite you to step inside the Land of Sweets as we present our must-have Christmas party supplies and party ideas for a dreamy Nutcracker celebration. Cue the orchestra!
Let's talk about color palettes: Who said you can't add a little pink into the holiday season? We love the way pink pops against traditional Christmas colors, so we try to tie it into our holiday parties as often as we can. To curate that sweet sugar plum fairy party ambiance, decorate with shades of pastel pink, cherry red, and glistening gold.
We also recommend incorporating a flocked Christmas tree with some red and white striped candy cane ribbon. If you decorate it just right, it’ll look almost good enough to eat!
Complete the Land of Sweets look with an array of pink Nutcracker decorations and peppermint candy accents. This Pink Nutcracker Cookie Jar is the perfect vessel for a whimsical winter floral arrangement. We suggest pairing it alongside a few nutcracker figurines and candy cane candlesticks for a magically sweet centerpiece.
No Christmas party would be complete without a decked-out tree. To keep it on theme, we recommend adding a few little nutcracker decorations and ornaments. Simply nestle any of these guys in with the rest of your tree decor for a timeless fairytale feel. We also love embellishing with ribbons and bows, so don’t be afraid to whimsy-it-up and wrap some around your holiday tree.
For tableware, you can't go wrong with our Whimsical Nutcracker party supplies! Simply pair our Elegant Pink Peppermint Plates with our Whimsical Nutcracker Small Plates, and embellish with our Sugarplum Fairy Napkins.
To make each setting even sweeter, pop in some extra goodies like pink cupcakes and peppermint candies.
And for extra fun for all ages, add some traditional holiday crackers. Whether you’re throwing a classy jingle ball or a laid-back ugly sweater party, these classic Christmas party favors are a must!
For drinks and treats, peppermint is the way to go! Small boxed candies are perfectly on-theme for this kind of celebration, so include some on your party table, or send them home with your guests. And, if you’re throwing an adult Christmas party, trim your glasses with peppermint sprinkles, and serve lots of juicy red cocktails. The more booze the merrier, right?
Speaking of sweets, may we recommend some delicious cupcakes decorated with Nutcracker themed toppers? These cute characters would make an adorable addition to your holiday party, and they come in a kit with matching red and white striped cupcake tins! Perfect for fun Christmas baking, cupcake decorating parties, or Nutcracker birthday parties.
That just about sums up our essentials for a sweet Nutcracker-themed party! With all these ideas and en pointe tips, we guarantee your party guests will be immersed in a magical sugar plum dreamland! Here’s to a sensationally sweet holiday season and a happy New Year!
