A Friendsmas-themed celebration is all about enjoying the company of close friends, so set the stage with a comforting and relaxed Christmas decor. Deck the halls with twinkling fairy lights strung along walls, shelves, and doorways to create a magical ambiance. Enhance the warmth and comfort of your space by draping soft blankets on couches and adding holiday-themed pillows. Mix and match plaids, reds, greens, and whites for a cozy and inviting feel. Add a personal touch to your decor by getting mini ornaments with each friend's name. These can also serve as sweet keepsakes to remember the night by. You can also light holiday-scented candles like cinnamon, peppermint, and vanilla that instantly transport your guests to a festive and comforting mood. Hang mistletoe strategically throughout the party space to encourage some holiday romance. Setting the mood with these festive decorations will ensure that your guests feel the holiday spirit as soon as they walk through the door.

Gift exchanges are a beloved tradition for any Friendsmas celebration, but why not add a fun twist to make it even more enjoyable? Swap out the traditional gift-giving for a classic White Elephant exchange, where everyone brings a silly or quirky gift and takes turns picking or "stealing" from others. This always guarantees plenty of laughs and surprises! For those looking for a simpler option, set a $10 limit and challenge everyone to find the most unique or creative gift within that budget. Want to add a personal touch? Try a Handmade Gift Exchange, where each person brings a thoughtful gift that they made themselves. From homemade candles to hand-painted ornaments or baked goods, these heartfelt presents add a special touch to your celebration.

Want a fun and creative way to entertain your guests at your Friendsmas party? Look no further than crafting! Not only is it a great way to bond and have fun, but it also adds a personal touch to your holiday decorations. One easy and budget-friendly idea is to decorate plain ornaments. Give your guests paints, glitter, and holiday stickers, and let their imagination run wild as they create their own custom designs. Or, for something a little more unique, try making mini wreaths using wreath bases, ribbons, and tiny decorations like pinecones and holly berries. These mini wreaths can also double as party favors for guests to take home. Another fun option is to set up a Christmas card-making station. Provide stamps, markers, and festive stickers, and let everyone create unique holiday cards. They can send these cards to their loved ones or keep them as a remembrance of the night.

Use a Polaroid camera or instant printer to take instant keepsake photos for you and your friends to take home. Not only will the photo booth lead to hilarious moments, but it'll also guarantee plenty of fun pictures to look back on and remember the night.
