Christmas Theme Ideas for Children

Everybody loves a Christmas party in any theme.

Christmas is truly for children. What better way to celebrate with your kids than a themed Christmas party?



Dress the girls in Victorian splendor, the boys in Grinch green or teach the children a valuable lesson in charitable giving or ornament making. These Christmas themes are sure to please your children as well as the kid in you.

Victorian Christmas

Children will look adorable in their Victorian-inspired outfits.

Children love costumes and dress-up. Little girls will love a Victorian Christmas-themed party, and the boys can also get in on the act.

Send out old-fashioned invitations and ask the children to dress in Victorian-inspired costumes. Set the table with fancy tea sets. A Victorian-themed Christmas will transport the children back in time and allow them to experience the season in a traditional way.

Let the children take part in reading a traditional Christmas story -- just like they would have done in the olden days.

The Grinch that Stole Christmas

The gifts just might get stolen at a Grinch-themed Christmas party.

A fun and quirky time is guaranteed when you theme a Christmas party around the mean old Grinch.

Have a Grinch that Stole Christmas party. Let the children dress up like their favorite Grinch characters. Encourage them to bring Dr. Seuss trinkets to the party to share with their friends.

For a real treat, let the kids perform short skits of scenes from the How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie from simple storyboards you create for the party. Watch the movie and serve the kids "green eggs and ham" for their Christmas meal.

Charity Event Party

A charity-event party teaches children to enjoy the act of giving.

Christmas is all about giving. What better way to celebrate the season than with a charity event themed party?

Allow the children to honor a charity of their choice. You can make suggestions for charities they can help, such as making Christmas treat boxes for soldiers, care packages for a local animal shelter or adopting a child from an Angel Tree Ministry, and wrap the presents at the party.

Provide treats for the children; but keep the party theme all about how it is better to give than to receive.

Christmas Ornament Party

Christmas ornaments are fun to make.

Children love to make things. A Christmas ornament party theme is an easy way to give your children a way to have fun and make gifts to take home to a friend or loved one.

Create paper angels, cookie cutter teddy bears, beaded garlands or any other Christmas ornament you like. Set up stations for each ornament with all the materials needed for each project.

Set out drinks and snacks and watch the creativity flow.
