The holiday season is fast approaching, and it’s time to start planning your end-of-year celebrations. Whether you’re organizing a corporate holiday party, a festive gala, or a winter celebration for employees and clients, the right entertainment can set the tone and ensure a memorable experience. At Innovative Entertainment, we specialize in curating top-tier holiday party entertainment that will keep your guests engaged and full of cheer. Here are some exciting entertainment options to consider for your holiday party this year.
1. Live Music to Set the Holiday Mood
Live music is a must for any great holiday party, and the options are endless. You can book a holiday tribute band to play classic Christmas carols or opt for a jazz trio that offers a more sophisticated take on holiday tunes. If you’re looking to liven up the dance floor, consider hiring a versatile party band that can perform a mix of festive hits and crowd favorites. From soulful holiday ballads to upbeat pop tunes, live music creates an atmosphere of joy and celebration.
2. Holiday-Themed Photo Booth
Photo booths have become a staple at events, but you can add a holiday twist by incorporating festive props, backdrops, and even themed props and costumes for your guests to pose in. You can go with a winter wonderland theme or opt for something playful like an “ugly sweater” booth or the below (Apres Ski themed event – photo with Producer, Jamie Snively, below). This interactive element provides fun for all ages and creates lasting memories as guests take home photo keepsakes from your event.
3. Roaming Holiday Characters
Take your holiday party to the next level with professional actors or performers dressed as iconic holiday characters. Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, elves, or even carolers can wander through your event, interacting with guests and spreading holiday cheer. These roaming characters add an immersive experience to your party, keeping guests engaged and entertained throughout the event. They also make for fantastic photo opportunities!
4. Interactive Cocktail or Dessert Stations
A unique way to add holiday flavor to your event is through interactive food and drink stations. Consider a festive cocktail-making station where guests can create their own holiday-themed drinks, or a build-your-own hot cocoa bar complete with marshmallows, whipped cream, and peppermint sticks. Dessert stations like a gingerbread house decorating table or a holiday cookie bar are also a great way to keep the holiday spirit alive and give your guests a fun and delicious hands-on experience.
5. Holiday Dance Performances
Bring the magic of dance to your holiday event with a choreographed performance that’s in sync with the festive season. Whether it’s a lively routine from break dancers, a professional ballet performance of “The Nutcracker,” or a spirited tap dance number, these performances can captivate your guests and add an element of surprise and elegance to your event. You could even add a flash mob for an unexpected twist that will leave your guests talking.
6. Comedy or Improv Shows
Laughter is the perfect way to bring people together during the holidays. Consider hiring a comedian or an improv group to perform a holiday-themed set that will keep your guests laughing throughout the evening. These acts can be tailored to fit the theme of your party, ensuring that the humor is light, fun, and appropriate for all audiences. Comedy adds a relaxed and joyful atmosphere to your event, making it a hit with guests.
7. Holiday Game Stations
Incorporating interactive holiday-themed games is another way to engage your guests. You can set up stations with games like holiday trivia, a Christmas karaoke contest, or even a “Pin the Nose on Rudolph” game for a fun twist on classic activities. Holiday games encourage participation, teamwork, and add a playful element to your celebration that will keep the energy high.
