1. Christmas Movie Marathon
Invite all of your friends over and tell them to bring their favorite Christmas movies. Take turns voting on every movie until you come up with a few that everyone really wants to watch. Who doesn’t love a movie night, especially when you’re watching Christmas movies? This is definitely one of the easiest ways to celebrate Christmas with your friends if you’re looking for something more laid-back!
Oh, there are so many fun ways! You could organize a Secret Santa gift exchange, have a Christmas movie marathon with hot cocoa, or even host a themed potluck dinner. Just get together, play some holiday music, and let the festive vibes take over!
Friendmas is all about bringing the holiday spirit to your squad! You could decorate cookies together, have a DIY ornament-making session, or even a quirky ugly sweater contest. The main thing is just to have fun and create great memories!
Absolutely! Traditions are all about the people you cherish, whether that's family or friends. Starting new traditions with your close circle of friends can be a wonderful way to make the holidays special and unique to you.
Sure! How about a gift-wrap race? You each get randomly shaped objects and a set time to wrap them. Or maybe a 'Guess That Christmas Carol' game where you hum tunes and friends guess which carol it is – laughs guaranteed!
Celebrating with friends can be wonderful because it often comes with less pressure and more laughter. Friends bring a different kind of joy, and without the traditional expectations, you often end up making the most lighthearted and genuine memories.
2. Christmas Cookie Party
I used to decorate cookies with my friend every winter break, and it was always one of the highlights of our break. We’d make cookies from store-bought dough to save a little bit of time, and then we’d spend the night decorating cookies. Sure, some were serious, but most of the cookies turned into inside jokes and other failed attempts at decorating. Regardless, the memories from decorating were some of our favorites from high school!

3. Gingerbread House Competition
It’s pretty easy to find cheap pre-made gingerbread houses at the grocery store around the holidays, so if you’re looking for an easy way to celebrate Christmas with your friends, a gingerbread competition is the best way to do it! Spend the night decorating your gingerbread houses, and then post them to Facebook or Twitter and let people vote on their favorite houses!

4. Secret Santa with a Twist
You could just do Secret Santa with your best friends or, if you and your friends are huge fans of The Office, you could play Secret Santa with a twist, like they do in season two. Play Secret Santa by picking out specific gifts for your friend, and then turn it into White Elephant, trading gifts that weren’t originally picked out for you until you’re all happy!

Secret Santa with a Twist is a fun way to celebrate Christmas with your friends. Instead of just randomly picking out gifts for each other, you can pick out specific gifts for your friends, and then turn it into a White Elephant exchange. Everyone will have the chance to trade gifts until they are all happy with their presents. This game is a great way to get into the holiday spirit and make memories with your friends. It's also a great way to show your friends how much you care about them. So why not give Secret Santa with a Twist a try this Christmas?
