Hosting a Christmas Ugly Sweater Party

How to Host a Christmas Ugly Sweater Party

There’s no better way to celebrate the season than with an Ugly Sweater Party! 🎅✨ Whether you go classic, cozy, or totally chaotic, it’s the perfect excuse to gather friends, share laughs, and show off your most gloriously tacky holiday look.

1. Set the Scene

Choose a theme — traditional red and green, retro knit, or over-the-top sparkle. Add festive décor, twinkling lights, and a tinsel photo backdrop for instant party magic.

2. Dress Code & Contests

Encourage guests to get creative! Think flashing lights, pom-poms, bows, or handmade disasters. Host contests for Ugliest Sweater, Most Creative, or Best Couple Combo — and don’t forget prizes!

3. Food & Drinks

Keep it fun and festive. Serve hot cocoa, mulled wine, or peppermint punch alongside easy bites like cheese boards, cookies, and gingerbread snack mix. A “DIY Cocoa Bar” is always a hit! ☕

4. Games & Photo Booth

Plan a few quick games like Name That Carol or Holiday Charades, then snap those sweater selfies. A simple backdrop with fairy lights or tinsel works wonders.

5. Finish with Flair

End the night with awards, group photos, and a playlist full of Christmas classics. Your guests will leave smiling — and already planning next year’s outfits!
