An outdoor Christmas party? Why not!
If your group loves spending time outdoors, why not organize an outdoor Christmas party this year? It’s an ideal way to create a memorable event, provided you plan it carefully.
Here’s a quick overview.
Lighting. It gets dark early in winter, so use lighting to create a magical atmosphere and keep everyone safe. String lights, lanterns, spotlights and headlamps—more is always better!
Activities. Plan a friendly hockey game, a walk in the woods, a snowman-making contest or an ice-skating session. If your neighbourhood allows, turn your yard into a dance floor.
Food. Serve comforting and delicious dishes. Options like barbecued food, homemade soup, hot chocolate and mulled wine will surely please your guests.
Warmth. Keep your guests warm by providing blankets, a patio heater, an outdoor fireplace or hand warmers.
Above all, always have a backup plan. A heated basement or garage can save the day if Mother Nature decides to spoil the party.
