6. Pet Party: Why should our furry friends miss out on all of the fun? You and your pet-parent friends can dress up your pooch for what might be the most adorable party of all time.

Making Your Own Things

Looking to spruce up your Christmas party without spending a fortune? Check out these homemade decorations you can make on your own!

Fruitcake Ball: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut a round piece of fruitcake the size of your ball, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Scoop out any excess cake, leaving a 1-inch border around the ball. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill the ball with whipped cream and chopped fruit (figs, grapes, etc.), then freeze for at least two hours. Once frozen, use a toothpick to make a hole in the center of the ball. Insert a mini lightbulb, then replace the cake layer. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for future use.

Wrap It Up: Create simple wrapping paper designs using wrapping paper tubes that come in packs of 12 or 24 sheets. To create one design, start by folding one end of the tube in half so it forms an “L” shape. Fold each side of the “L” toward the center until they meet in the middle, making sure not to crease them. Then glue or tape each end together securely. To create another design, start by unfolding one end of the tube so it forms a “U” shape. Glue or tape each end together securely and then fold each side of the “U” toward the center until they meet in the middle. Glue or tape the ends together securely.

Candy Cane Garland: Cut 20 to 24 candy canes in half (or use pre-cut candy canes) and tie each half with a ribbon or yarn bow. To make the garland, start by hanging the candy canes from a tree or light fixture using a bead chain or key ring. To create a more elaborate look, use several different colors of ribbon or yarn to create different patterns.
