Holiday Party Entertainment Ideas

Holiday Party Entertainment

Parties are standard fare during the holidays. Individuals will receive numerous party invitations and hosts will want their event to be one that’s remembered long into the new year. Entertainment is a key ingredient to keep guests engaged, but that doesn’t mean expensive bands or acts.

For individuals planning a holiday party to be held at home, there are options for a variety of budgets and interests. Don’t forget to rent a photo booth to record all the fun. The images make great souvenirs.

Secret Santa

There are multiple variations of this. In one version, each guest brings an anonymous wrapped gift and each person takes turns choosing one from the pile. Some choose to host a Secret Santa with gag gifts, white elephant gifts, or a Yankee Swap in which each person has the opportunity to swap their gift with the person that went before them. Set a price limit for the gifts and one that’s comfortable for everyone.

Scavenger Hunt

The host buys a gift for each guest and hides them before the party. Guests then hunt until they find a gift. When everyone has a gift, it’s time to open them for a fun surprise.

Candy Cane Hide-and-Seek

Hide candy canes and let people seek. The person collecting the most will receive a special prize.

Gift Swap

This entertainment can be conducted with everyone bringing cookies made with their favorite recipe. Alternatives include a mug swap where everyone brings in an anonymously wrapped mug as a gift.

Karaoke

A karaoke-based holiday party enables everyone to be a star and guests to enjoy their favorite holiday music. People can sing alone, as a duo, or form groups.

Pajama Party

Fancy party clothes can be fun, but what about adult comfort? All guests need is a set of pajamas for a fun and relaxing party where everyone is comfortable.

Kids in the Kitchen for the Holidays

Some of the fondest memories people have as adults are the times spent in the kitchen with parents and grandparents. Those traditions can be recreated for the current generation by letting them help in the kitchen during the holidays. There are numerous opportunities for kids to help out. Some include:

  • Rolling dough
  • Measuring
  • Stirring ingredients
  • Reading recipes
  • Using cookie cutting tools
  • Decorating holiday treats

Plan for Extra Time

It will take longer when children help in the kitchen so it’s important to set aside extra time. That will enable everyone to enjoy the experience and not feel rushed or frustrated. Don’t be surprised if children wander off at any point, depending upon their age and attention span. The time spent together is the important thing.

It’s Going to be Messy

Expect to break a few eggs – and not necessarily in the bowl where they belong. Children learn by doing and making mistakes. Likewise, there’s no sense in crying over spilled milk, tipped over flour or other mishaps.

Choose Small Projects to Start

Don’t attempt to make every holiday treat at once, choose one or two. Save those that are most complex for a different time. Select cooking projects that have a high degree of success for the child, especially if they’re not accustomed to helping out in the kitchen.

It Doesn’t Have to be Pretty

Don’t expect children to reproduce projects that look like an adult made them. The food doesn’t have to be “pretty” to be delicious. Children want to please and it’s critical that they know their efforts are appreciated. Serve the child’s cookies or other culinary efforts with pride.

The Modern Cook

Making treats from scratch isn’t for everyone and in the interest of saving time many families purchase pre-made cookie dough, pie crusts, and box cake mixes. That’s absolutely fine. There are still ways for children to help in the kitchen and those memories will be equally treasured for years to come. Don’t forget to snap a few photos – they’ll be a cherished reminder.

10 Great Tech Gifts for The Holidays

These days, technology is a huge part of our every day lives.  It should be no surprise then, that some of the most popular Holiday gifts this season are robotic vacuum cleaners, alarm clocks that work with light and cameras that allow you to talk to your dog from anywhere in the world.  Innovative and incredibly unique, tech gifts are more popular than ever this December.

Here are 10 of the very best for your list.

Long Distance Friendship Lamp

This is a great idea.  Show your distant friends and family members that they are in your thoughts with a Long-Distance Friendship Lamp that will light up when you are thinking about them.  Tap the top of your lamp at home, and the other one will light up too, no matter how far away it is. So cute, and a great way to keep in touch all year round.

A Camera to Keep Tabs on Your Dog

Keep an eye on what your pooch is up to while you are out at work with a dog camera.  Not only can you check that they are indeed being a good boy, but you can also use an App to communicate with them and even toss them treats when it’s time for a snack.

 A Smart Garden

No room in the yard to grow veggies?  No problem!  A smart garden uses hydroponic growing systems to enable you to grow your own herbs and salad greens from pre-seeded plant pods.  Very cool for those who like to grow their own.

A Natural Alarm Clock

Thanks to our own internal circadian rhythm, we all wake up naturally when the sunlight comes streaming in.  Emulate a natural, more gentle wake up with a light that simulates sunlight to help you start your day feeling fresh and energized.

A Robot Vacuum Cleaner

These look so much fun!  Robot vacuum cleaners will clean your carpets, rugs, tiles and even hardwood floors while you get on with something else.  Simply map your room and switch it on.  It won’t fall down the stairs or bump into your furniture, and you can even control it with you Amazon Echo or Google Assistant.

Waterproof Speakers

Who doesn’t like singing in the shower?  Turn every shower into a show stopper with waterproof speakers that allow you to listen to your favorite tunes even under the water.

A Smart Blender

Guilt-free blending is here, with smart blenders that help you to monitor your healthy intake and cut out unwanted carbs and sugars. These health-conscious and fitness-focused blenders are perfect for making smoothies that are actually good for you.

A Capsule Projector

Turn any room into a movie theatre with a portable capsule projector.  Small in stature but big on technology, they can also offer 360 round sound and work with your smartphone to display movies on the big screen, wherever you are.

A Video Doorbell

Be able to see who is knocking at your door, even when you are not home.  Video doorbells let you see, hear and speak to visitors simply by using your phone, tablet or computer.

A Digital Photo Frame

Not new to the market, but these photo screens are still a very special way to show someone that you are thinking of them.  Choose your favorite photos and keep them on display at all times, as the frame cycles through your favorite shots in a perpetual slideshow.
