Whether you're planning a corporate Christmas party, an office holiday celebration or a festive get-together with friends and family, now is the perfect time to add those finishing touches that will make your event memorable. You've probably already organised the venue, catering and decorations, but have you thought about the entertainment? While live music, magicians and comedians can provide fantastic main-stage entertainment, the best Christmas parties offer plenty of opportunities for guests to interact, have fun and create lasting memories throughout the evening. From interactive dessert stations and festive party games to exciting gift exchanges and photo booth experiences, here are some fun and easy Christmas party entertainment ideas guaranteed to get everyone into the holiday spirit. ![bcch holidays 2019 (3 of 17) (1)](https://blog.tapsnap.net/hs-fs/hubfs/bcch%20holidays%202019%20%20(3%20of%2017)%20(1).jpg?width=599&name=bcch%20holidays%202019%20%20(3%20of%2017)%20(1).jpg)   ## 1. Engage Guests with Interactive Dessert Stations Who doesn't love dessert? Take your Christmas party catering to the next level by creating a dessert station that doubles as entertainment. Interactive food stations encourage guests to mingle, get creative and enjoy something a little different. Here are a few festive dessert ideas: - **Chocolate Fountain:** Offer strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, cookies and other delicious treats for dipping. - **Build-Your-Own Ice Cream Sundae Bar:** Provide a selection of ice cream, sauces, sprinkles and toppings. Include dairy-free options so everyone can participate. - **Christmas Cupcake Decorating:** Let guests decorate their own cupcakes with festive icing, candy, sprinkles and edible decorations. - **S'mores Station:** Create a cosy winter-inspired dessert bar with marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. Use suitable food-safe heating equipment and supervise the station. These interactive dessert stations are particularly popular at corporate Christmas parties because they give guests something fun to do while encouraging conversation and interaction. ## 2. Break Up the Evening with Christmas Party Games Even the best Christmas parties can benefit from a few organised activities. Festive party games are an inexpensive way to get colleagues laughing, encourage team bonding and bring people together. Try some of these Christmas party game ideas: **Christmas Gift-Wrapping Relay** Divide guests into teams and give each group wrapping paper, tape, ribbon and a gift box. Set a timer and see which team can wrap their present the fastest. For an extra challenge, have participants wrap using only one hand! **Fill the Christmas Stocking** Split guests into teams and challenge them to fill a Christmas stocking with candy using only a spoon. The team that fills their stocking first wins. **Christmas Trivia** Put everyone's festive knowledge to the test with Christmas-themed trivia questions. Include questions about holiday movies, Christmas songs, traditions and fun seasonal facts. **Guess the Christmas Song** Play a few seconds of popular Christmas songs and see who can identify the title first. This is a great icebreaker and works particularly well with larger groups.

Make Gift-Giving an Interactive Game Secret Santa is a traditional favourite, but why not mix things up this year? If you're organising a company Christmas party, a gift exchange is a great way to encourage team bonding without spending a fortune. **Try a White Elephant Gift Exchange** Instead of buying a gift for a specific colleague, everyone brings a wrapped gift within an agreed budget. Participants take turns selecting a gift or stealing one that someone else has already opened. The result is usually plenty of laughter and friendly competition! Read the [White Elephant gift exchange rules](https://www.whiteelephantrules.com/) if you need help organising the game. **Christmas Cracker Competition** Christmas crackers are another fun way to get everyone involved, particularly during a sit-down Christmas dinner. Add a prize for the person with the funniest joke, best paper crown or winning cracker surprise. You could even organise a festive prize draw to give guests something extra to look forward to. ![Holiday Blog 7](https://blog.tapsnap.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Holiday%20Blog%207.jpg?width=601&name=Holiday%20Blog%207.jpg) ## 4. Capture the Christmas Cheer with a Photo Booth One of the best Christmas party entertainment ideas is a photo booth! Whether you're hosting a corporate Christmas party, office celebration or private holiday gathering, a photo booth gives guests an interactive activity they can enjoy throughout the event. A photo booth is more than just a place to take pictures. It encourages guests to mingle, breaks the ice between colleagues and gives everyone a chance to let their hair down. With a TapSnap photo booth, guests can: - Strike a pose with fun Christmas-themed digital props. - Take festive group photos with colleagues, friends and family. - Create animated GIFs and Boomerangs. - Enjoy customised photo experiences featuring your company branding or Christmas event theme. - Instantly share their photos by email or text. - Take home a digital keepsake of the celebration. **Make Your Christmas Party Photos Extra Special** TapSnap photo booths can be customised with festive photo templates, branded overlays, digital backgrounds and holiday-themed effects. Want to take your Christmas party entertainment even further? Try a green screen experience that transports guests to a snowy winter wonderland, Santa's workshop or another festive setting. And because TapSnap rentals are fully attended, you won't have to worry about operating the booth or helping guests with their photos. Our booth attendants take care of the experience so you can enjoy your own event. Looking for something memorable for your next holiday celebration?

Organise a Festive Christmas Photo Contest If you're looking for another way to get guests involved, why not turn your photo booth into a Christmas party competition? Set up a few fun categories and encourage guests to enter their photos throughout the evening. Some ideas include: - Funniest Christmas Photo - Best Festive Group Photo - Most Creative Christmas Pose - Best Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo - Best Christmas Animated GIF - Most Creative Use of Digital Props You can display the winning photos during the event and award small prizes to the winners. It's a simple way to encourage participation and create plenty of memorable moments. With TapSnap's digital photo sharing, guests can receive their photos by email or text, making it easy to keep and share their favourite memories after the party.   ## 6. Add a Charitable Element to Your Christmas Party Christmas is also a wonderful opportunity to give something back. Consider organising a festive fundraising activity alongside your Christmas celebrations. You could support a local charity, collect donations for a food bank or choose a cause that means something to your company. Here's an idea: incorporate a charitable donation option into your photo booth experience! TapSnap can include a **donate button in the photo-sharing email** guests receive after taking their pictures. This gives guests the opportunity to contribute to your chosen charity while enjoying their photo booth experience. It's a simple way to combine Christmas entertainment with giving back, making your event meaningful as well as memorable. ## Make This Christmas Party One to Remember! Planning a Christmas party is about more than organising food, drinks and decorations. The best celebrations give guests opportunities to connect, laugh and create memories together. Whether you choose interactive dessert stations, festive party games, a fun gift exchange or a fully attended TapSnap photo booth, adding a little extra entertainment can make all the difference.
