Shake up the conventional Christmas party with a social gathering celebrating your favorite era. Whether you’re a fan of the roaring 20s, psychedelic 60s or retro 80s, a theme party encompassing all the aspects of a specific era will surely be a crowd pleaser. The first step to planning your era themed party is by picking the decade on which to focus your event.

Era themed parties should truly reflect the decade you choose. From the decorations and music to food and drinks, try to make the party atmosphere as accurate as possible. For example, if you are throwing a 80s themed party, decorate the Christmas tree with bright, neon decorations and garland. Play your favorite music from the era, and tell the entire guest list to wear their best 80s apparel. Play 80s trivia games and nametag guessing games based on popular 80s celebrities. Hand out Christmas crackers filled with fun trinkets. You can really let your imagination run wild with a party that focuses on an era theme.

Chase away the winter doldrums with Hawaiian themed Christmas party ideas. Even if you live in the Midwest where winters are bitter, you can warm up spirits with a tropical themed party. Instruct every guest to wear their loudest Hawaiian shirt, and pass out leis as guests arrive. Decorate the Christmas tree with leis, colorful garland and tropical décor. Turn the Christmas-favorite eggnog drink into a frozen concoction by blending it with ice, complete with colorful drink umbrellas. For the kids, you can do the same with hot cocoa. Make pot roast and vegetable shish kabobs and center the rest of the food around a tropical theme.

Make table centerpieces out of beach gear, coconuts and other tropical décor. Hand out Christmas crackers as party favors and as a nod to the Christmas spirit. Play fun and energetic island music, and be sure to have a contest for the best Hawaiian shirt. You can make any Christmas party have a quintessential tropical theme while still retaining the holiday charm. With a Hawaiian themed Christmas party, your guests are sure to forget the blistering cold outside.
