Bring the sparkle and freshness of winter indoors with a Christmas Candy Cane Party. Everyone will love this peppermint paradise theme for a holiday party.
Invitations: Your guests’ sweet tooth will be tingling the minute they open the invitation to your party if you attach a mini candy cane to the invitation. This reindeer invite is easily adaptable for your candy cane soirée and fun for the kids to help with.
Décor: Your guest will know something special awaits them as soon as they see the candy canes lining your front walk. These candy canes provide a warm welcome. Put up dazzling bouquets of red and white balloons with a minty Mylar balloon at the top. Use candy canes as balloon weights. Add red bows to the walls. Use a mix of red and white tableware and sprinkle crushed mints as confetti for extra color and fun.
Ambience: The whole room will feel like a peppermint forest with some strategically placed small Christmas trees decorated with lots of candy canes and peppermints. Add a mix of red and white tree lights and ornaments and set out some presents wrapped in a minty mix around the base of the tree. Hang mistletoe with red and white ribbon in a key traffic area as an ice breaker and to tie into the theme.
Menu: Dinner can be red, white and easy too. How about pasta with a choice of red marinara or white Alfredo sauce? Chili is another great option for a main meal or served in small dishes as an appetizer. Add delicious bread and a green salad and your meal has all the colors of the holidays.
Candy cane shaped sugar cookies, or peppermint sundaes - use vanilla ice cream sprinkled with candy cane pieces - are the perfect ending to a delicious meal. And remember, if it’s cold; serve peppermint hot cocoa or coffee with a squirt of peppermint syrup.
Favors: Have your guest leave the party with wonderful memories and a special treat! Give the guests their mini stockings filled with candy canes with their name on it and a thank you message for a delicious way to send guests on their way and later remember the fun they had while munching on their delectable goodies.
