MAKE IT CUTE

It's officially sweater szn and we are obsessed. They're warm, they're cozy and they're oh-so-cute. And what's a better excuse to wear your sweaters than an ugly (or cute) sweater Christmas party? Keep reading for all the tips and tricks you'll need to throw *the* sweater soiree of the season. 

Outfits

H&M, $25

What's a Christmas sweater party without, well, a sweater? Whether you're going for ugly or cute, there are *so* many options out there. If you're looking to totally slay (sleigh?) then def go for something bright and festive. 

Music

We love some classic Christmas music as much as anybody...but if playing "Jingle Bells" for the ten millionth time isn't exactly the vibe you're going for, don't worry! Check out this GL article for some of the *best* Christmas albums you should stream at your party (and yes, it does include Taylor Swift).

Snacks

Christmas has the *best* snacks. You can do classic with hot chocolate and cookies, or mix it up a little with a festive charcuterie board. Gingerbread, anyone? Chowing down on gingerbread can even double as an activity. Gather your friends to decorate little gingerbread women and build them their own custom gingermansions.

Activities

@charlidamelio

Speaking of activities, it's fashion show time! Have all your guests do their best Bella Hadid impression and strut their stuff down the runway (aka your hallway). Now you're asking what next? Karaoke, of course! Finish off the night by cheering your friends on as they belt out their best Mariah Carey.
