Christmas in July Party Ideas
Christmas in July is a fun and festive party theme for summer. Use your imagination to think of fun twists on the traditional Christmas food, decor, and entertainment!
Christmas in July Outfit Ideas

Do a summery spin on traditional Christmas party attire!
Start with a red, green or white t-shirt and shorts.
Add some festive holiday suspenders for a touch of whimsy.
Order some fun Christmas themed sunglasses for your guests.
Dig out your Santa hats.
If you’re hosting an outdoor evening party, an ugly Christmas sweater could come in handy as it cools down!
Christmas in July Party Decor and Favor Ideas
You could drag out your holiday lights and hang them (or maybe you never took them down).
Hang lights and candy canes on trees in your backyard.
You can add some decorated LED lanterns (or add Christmas ribbon to the ones you already own!) These solar lanterns are also super cute and holiday themed. Charge them during the day!
For favors, check out these adorable enamel pins!
You can order some insulating can sleeves to cool your guests’ beverages!
Christmas in July Party Food Ideas
Christmas in July food should be easy and festive. Here are a few ideas:

- Grill up some juicy burgers (beef, turkey or veggie) with pepper jack cheese. Offer some colorful red and green toppings: tomato, avocado, ketchup, jalapeño slices.
- Or if you love pizza on the grill, a margarita pizza is the perfect festive colors!
- a delicious watermelon, cucumber, and feta salad
- or cherry tomatoes stuffed with mozzarella balls. Arrange them in a wreath shape, with basil leaves ringed around them
- For dessert, bake up your favorite brownie recipe, and top with white frosting and crumbled peppermint candies
- Set up an iced coffee bar: cold brew, espresso shots, peppermint syrup, dark chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Plus plenty of ice! Offer both regular and dairy-free milk and everyone can mix up their favorite drink. Put some peppermint sticks in a jar for stirring or snacking).
