More For You to Love
Secret Santa
The girls can play the Secret Santa name exchange game. This is a fantastic way to save money since she will only be buying a gift for 1 friend instead of all of them.
Of course, encourage them to exchange names well ahead of time so they can all go shopping.
A great tip – ask all the girls to share a few items they would love to get.
Then at the Christmas party, they can exchange their gifts.
Christmas Costume Party
Ask the girls to come dressed as their favorite character from a Christmas movie.
Making Seasons Bright
Make this season bright by dressing up in neon.
Better yet, and a bit more festive, Christmas light-up accessories.
Ugly Christmas Sweater
The girls can get funny and festive with an ugly Christmas sweater.
It will be nothing but laughs as they all check out each other’s shirts.
Holiday Photo Booth
Teen girls love taking photos.
They will want to capture all the fun, especially if it is a themed Christmas party.
Setting up a photo area is so easy.
Christmas foil fringe and festive Christmas lights makes the perfect backdrop.
The girls will love using these fun Christmas photo booth props.
Even though the girls will more than likely take a bunch of pictures with their phones, nothing beats the Instax Camera.
Christmas Party Glasses
The girls will have so much fun wearing these Christmas party glasses. They are fun in the photo booth, too.
My kids had the best time wearing these at our house and during a Christmas party with our friends last year.
Watch Christmas Movies
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas movie? A Christmas movie marathon is great with snacks and some hot chocolate is always a hit.
- Christmas Vacation
- Elf
- Prep and Landing (not just for kids!)
- The Santa Clause
- The Holiday
- White Christmas
- It’s a Wonderful Life
Make Christmas Treats
The girls can get their baking on with a few Christmas goodies. Here are some delicious Christmas treats to try.
Let’s be honest, though, some teen girls have short attention spans.
You can whip up these deliciously addictive Christmas Cut Out Cookies ahead of the party. The girls can have fun decorating and eating them.
Make Christmas Party Food
My daughter and her friends love to make appetizers. Even though they usually make a mess, they are having a great time. Worth it!
Your daughter can make these easy and crowd pleasing appetizers ahead of time, too.
Christmas Appetizers
Sing Christmas Carols
Girls love to sing and singing Christmas carols gets everyone into a holly jolly mood.
If anyone is blessed enough with the gift of playing the piano, get playing and sing those Christmas tunes.
Are they feeling bold and want to spread Christmas cheer? Tell them to go around and sing Christmas carols for your neighbors.
What are your favorite Christmas songs? Let me know in the comments below.
Christmas Carols Lip Sync Battle
Lip sync battles are fun to do and watch. Doing it with Christmas carols is even better.
Name That Christmas Tune
Not up for singing Christmas songs? Play name that Christmas tune instead.
Minute to Win It Games
The girls will have fun with these Minute to Win It Christmas games.
- Cookie Face
- Christmas Tree Stack
- Pom Pom Snowball Fight
- Candy Cane Hook
- One Handed Gift Wrap
Christmas Trivia
Help your daughter out by making a list of Christmas trivia questions.
It can be a page that they all fill out or they can break into teams and it can be a verbal game for points.
Build Gingerbread Houses
Set up a gingerbread house making contest.
Girl, gingerbread house kits are expensive.
And what do you do with them at the end but throw them out? Seriously, they taste terrible.
But you do you!
If you are looking to save some money, get graham crackers, containers of white frosting (and other colors if you are feeling spicy), and lots of different candy toppings to build the gingerbread houses.
The girls will have a blast and can eat their creations afterwards.
Design Stockings
Make these Christmas stockings more festive with a few decorations.
Here are the craft supplies you need.
Decorate Ornaments
This ornament decorating kit comes with everything you need.
Teen girls will love them!
Gift Auction
Ask everyone to bring a wrapped gift. You can set a price limit like we do.
Hand out play money, which everyone can use to bid on the gifts.
You can get crazy and play a second round after all the gifts have been opened to try and “steal” gifts. Everyone should end up with one gift at the end.
Sleepover
If they want to fit in all these games and activities, a sleepover is a must.
It isn’t as bad as it sounds, a bunch of loud, giggling, and sometimes screaming girls. They will have the best time just hanging out with each other.
Let it happen, mama.
Christmas Pajama Party
If a sleepover is part of this Christmas party, then the girls need to have a Christmas pajama party.
There are so many cute Christmas pajamas to choose from.
Christmas movies, snacks, hot chocolate, and cute pajamas – put it all together and it makes for a cozy Christmas party for your girl and her friends.

Christmas Scavenger Hunt
Make a list of Christmas items around your house that the girls need to find. Some may be harder than others
.
It doesn’t have to be just one of something either. For example, you can have them search for 12 candy canes, 6 snowmen, 8 reindeer, and so on.
Or you can do a whole 12 Days of Christmas theme
. Print out pictures of everything instead of buying all of it!
Hot Chocolate Bar
Girls love hot chocolate bars.
You will need some cute Christmas mugs.
Feeling generous? Let the girls pick one out to take home.
Pick up these essential hot chocolate bar items: hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, whipped cream, and candy canes.
Get an extra of everything because sometimes, the girls get crazy with the ingredients. Believe me, I know!
You can also have different flavors of coffee creamer and sauces like chocolate and caramel. They are so good in hot cocoa.
Bonfire
Have you ever had a bonfire in the snow? So much fun!
Take the hot chocolate outside. The combo of the bonfire and cocoa is the perfect way to stay warm.
Play in the Snow
Does it snow at your house? Strongly encourage those girls to bring snow gear and get outside.
They might think they are too old for it but get them out there anyway.
The girls can build a snowman, have a snowball fight, go sledding, or color the snow.
To color the snow, mix washable paint like this Crayola paint and warm water in a squirt bottle or spray bottle.
My kids still do this and it makes the snowy yard look amazing.
Board Games
Board games are fantastic at parties.
Some great games for 4 players or more include Pictionary, Scattergories, and Catch Phrase.
Christmas Pickle
Time for the Christmas Pickle. Your girls will love this challenge.
The gist is to hide a Christmas pickle ornament somewhere on your Christmas tree and then everyone else tries to find it.
The first person who finds it, without using their hands to move any of the branches, gets a small present.
My kids are nuts over this game and would play it every single day if I let them.
Christmas Bingo
Everyone loves Bingo. The girls can play regular Bingo if you have it or they can also play this Christmas Bingo.
Christmas Prize Ideas
Here are the best small gift ideas for your daughter and her friends that they will all love and use. Best of all, these are budget friendly!
How do you plan to celebrate the holidays this year? We have so much on our list that it seems like we do something Christmasy every day from Thanksgiving until New Year's but it is amazing.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by.
