A Christmas party outdoors? In Michigan?! It’s possible! Planning an outdoor Christmas party is not just for people in warm weather regions. Snow dwellers can plan outdoor winter parties, too! From bonfires to heated patios, outdoor holiday parties can be memorable occasions. Check out our top three tips for planning an outdoor party of your own this season!
Choose a Theme or Activity
One of the best ways to create a successful outdoor party is to choose a theme or fun winter activity. Some of our favorite ideas include:
- A bonfire with a smores bar (or hot dogs or walking tacos…the food possibilities are endless!)
- Lighted snowshoe or cross-country skiing trails
- Fat tire biking along the Lakeshore (before the ice sets in, that is!)
- Ice skating at Rosa Parks Circle
- Hot tubbing with festive drinks
- Winter grilling competition
- “Kids” night with sledding, snow angels, or a snowball fight
- Snowman building competition
Create a Menu
The right food can make any party great, and including winter comfort foods will keep guests in the holiday spirit. Themed appetizers, entrees, and drinks will make your event especially memorable. Christmas is the perfect time to showcase delicious cookies and specialty baked goods as well! Complete your menu offerings with hot chocolate or spiked hot cider, and you’ll have the winning recipe for winter party success!
Plan for Bathroom Breaks
Don’t forget the bathrooms! The last thing you’ll want at an outdoor party is guests traipsing through your home with wet boots and coats. Talk about a mess! Portable restroom options help to keep the fun outside as much as possible. Luxury restroom trailers, for example, provide climate-controlled interiors, flushing toilets, and hot running water to ensure guests stay comfortable throughout the party.
