5 Best College Christmas Party Ideas
Ideas like Secret Santa and karaoke can bring fun and festivity to your college Christmas party.
ByHoliday parties will always be a signature part of life in college, and since Christmas is almost here, it would be nice to plan for anything you and your college friends and mates can enjoy.
From a dorm party to casual gatherings and even a great big event for students, here are some of the best ideas to bring the festive spirit to your college Christmas party.
1. Secret Santa Gift Exchange
This is probably the oldest tradition that could be a highlight for most of your college friends. To maximize your experiences, The Pioneer Woman recommended limiting the amount in which your guests will set for the gift and letting the presents be personalized or funny. A little more spice like "DIY gifts" or "funny gifts" will make it more interesting.
2. Christmas Movie Marathon
Not thinking of making much effort? Christmas parties don't need to be loud, funny, and too much. Instead, you can throw in some classic Christmas films or any holiday-themed ones with popcorn, drinks, and snacks around you and your college friends' area.
3. Christmas Karaoke Party
Get everyone's singing and dancing in a Christmas karaoke party by letting the holiday work-in-songs loose. To enjoy the wonders of karaoke machines, complement the setup with various apps that render those Christmas songs, per Shutterfly. Fun giveaways for the best performances can spice up the vibe as well.
4. Recognition Party
Understandably, not everyone wants to be extra fun this holidays and we can respect that by giving them the recognition they deserve at least. With this Christmas party idea, you can give titles to your college friends or mates as a token of appreciation. For example, the "smartest in Chemistry class goes to (name)."
5. Ugly Sweater Party
For another fun way to celebrate Christmas with your college friends, try another classic—the classic ugly sweater party. The rule is simple, require guests to wear their most uglies, over-the-top, and eccentric sweaters. To spice up the event, award the ugliest sweater in the room.
