This way, you can meet them all and cherish all the joyous moments you spend together.

We are damn sure you will remember this time forever, especially if you have a tight schedule and hardly have time to spare. All your moments will be made on this fun ride. Indeed, one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas with friends.  

3. Come up with unique gifts for everyone

Gifting can create quite a stir in relationships. Gifts can mend some broken bonds too. Grab this opportunity to bridge gaps of broken friendships.

Kids get gifts in the form of “Santa Claus,” but what about adults? Plan some unique gifts if you genuinely wish to celebrate Christmas with friends with great aplomb. While doing so, consider their likings while coming up with a gift. If you have a long-distance friend, plan a gift beforehand.

Most importantly, remember to send Christmas postcards or greetings to friends and family. Though they might sound petty in this digital world, they still make a mark.

4. Plan for a theme-party

Planning a party is a no-brainer – food, drinks, endless talks, and much more. But dude, it is Christmas, and it has to be unique. Therefore, don’t just plan a Christmas party but go for a theme party to add to the fun moment.

Go for a pajama party or you may have a zombie-themed party, or go all “red,” complementing the Christmas. Grab this opportunity to flaunt your favorite get-up or PJs.

5. Play secret Santa

Who doesn’t like surprises? We all do. If you have a huge group, then Secret Santa can turn out to be exciting. You may plan puzzles and ask your friends to guess their Secret Santa. Besides, don’t go for some lackluster gifts. Instead, think out of the box and add some fun elements to the gifts.

6. Go for a potluck

Do you want to know what your friends cooked for Christmas? Why not plan a potluck? Yes, you may host a Christmas party or ask friends to cook something. Else, you can plan something outdoors and ask friends to cook or get some food packed. Whatever it is, a variety of food can give you a chance to relish some scrumptious food cooked by your friends. Besides, it is the best way to connect with all your friends while sharing meal.

7. Decorate home together

Everyone needs a helping hand while decorating. Why not ask your friends to do so? Truly one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas with friends is to request them to lend a helping hand to embellish your homes.

While doing so, you may catch up on some gup, grab a drink, or discuss party plans. Besides, you will get a chance to showcase your creative side. So, take complete advantage of this and catch on to some old memories while decorating some walls.

8. Arrange some fun competitions

Competitions are fun if friends organize them. Don’t compete aggressively but in a fun way, and for that, organize some fantastic games. It could be decorating gingerbread in a time frame or hogging Christmas cookies. Whatever it might be, it will definitely bring out zeal and a chance to enjoy some fun banter.

9. Go for a road trip with buddies

It’s the holidays and if you do not wish to warm your couch by lying around, then plan a trip with friends, preferably a road trip. You will get ample time with your friends to rejoice and remember your old times. Not just this, but grab this opportunity to explore Christmas festivities in different cities.

10. Plan a movie marathon

One of the best ways to celebrate Christmas with friends is by organizing a movie marathon. Finalize a day and time and send out some creative invites, forcing each friend of yours to turn up. Most importantly, plan and jot down the movies before avoiding any confusion.

And if you want to consider everyone’s choices, do it beforehand. Keep a tub of popcorn ready and complement it with some mocktails/cocktails, and your movie marathon is all set!

11. Host a cozy bonfire party

Christmas is synonymous with cold nights, and to add warmth to this memorable night, it’s best to host a bonfire on a Christmas night. Don’t forget to setup barbecue with the bonfire. Indeed, this is one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas with friends because it will pave the way to endless talks and an array of memories.
