As a mom loves to create memorable celebrations for her children, I’m excited to share some tips on how to host a magical children’s Christmas party for kids right in the comfort of your home.

Festive Entryway Ideas for a Magical Children’s Christmas Party

Set the tone for your children’s Christmas party the moment guests arrive. Start with a cheerful holiday doormat to welcome everyone. Add a festive balloon garland over the door for a colorful, fun touch. Holiday inflatables on the lawn can also bring instant excitement. Choose one standout element, like the balloon garland, to keep your decor manageable. A playful entryway or outdoor display sets the festive mood before guests step inside.

Table Set Up

Start by setting the stage with a children’s mini table, along with mini chiavari chairs for the little guests to gather around. I love using a traditional red and green color scheme for children. It’s so festive and party goods are easy to find in these colors. Hang red and green balloon garland in your party space- this makes a great backdrop.

Now, let’s talk about the table – the heart of the party. The children’s table comes to life with a pretty printed tablecloth and cheerful paper tableware. For treats, cupcakes decorated with peppermints double as charming table centerpieces. These add both visual appeal and a delightful surprise for the little ones. Include cups filled with marshmallows at each place setting- perfect for serving hot chocolate. As a centerpiece, tabletop topiary plants add a touch of elegance and holiday flair.

To make each child feel extra special, decorate their Chiavari chair with candy cane mylar balloons – these will double as delightful party favors they can take home. And of course, don’t forget the presents! Place wrapped gifts by the fireplace to add an element of surprise and excitement. These gifts can be additional party favors or perhaps invite guests to bring a toy donation for your favorite Christmas charity.

Finally, top it all off with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree near the fireplace. The kids will adore its twinkling lights and ornaments, making it a focal point for joy and wonder. With these simple yet charming touches, you’ll create a magical Christmas party at home that your little ones will treasure for years to come. Happy holidays and happy party planning!
