6 Unusual Christmas Party Entertainment Ideas to Make This Year's Festive Do a Cracker

It's that time of year again when event planners and holiday enthusiasts are on the prowl for new ways to outdo last year's extravaganza. If you want to wow your guests and have them talking about your party well into the New Year, you've landed in the right place. Here are some Christmas party entertainment ideas to bring the Christmas cheer.

1. Hire a Close-Up Magician

Forget about Uncle Bob's questionable card tricks. A close-up magician is the perfect icebreaker to get guests mingling and laughing in no time. Imagine the delight as your guests experience sleights of hand right under their noses. It's magic you'll actually want to see on repeat. Corporate magicians pack even more than the homemade rum punch you're about to serve up and provide live entertainment at corporate events and private parties. Table magicians are also the perfect entertainment for a large corporate Christmas party, hopping from table to table, wowing your guests with sleight of hand and a little festive spirit.

2. The Close-Up Corner

Why settle for a corporate magician wandering the room when you can have the world's first static close-up magic booth? Enter the Close-Up Corner, a genius creation by the enigmatic Close-Up Chris. This impressive 3m wide booth is a hub of magical brilliance, drawing your guests in like moths to a flame for an intimate and unforgettable show. It's also ideal post-meal for those who aren't keen on hitting the dance floor. This jaw dropping attraction is the perfect Christmas entertainment.

3. Hire a Choir to Sing Christmas Carols

Nothing quite lifts the spirits — and the eyebrows — like a choir belting out Christmas carols with gusto. Whether it's "Silent Night" or "Jingle Bells," live harmonies add a layer of cheese to your festive cheeseboard that pre-recorded music simply can't replicate. Carol singers offer a lovely, tranquil vibe to any Christmas party, and the familiar melodies will have your guests humming along in no time. They're also cost-effective for live music at your Christmas event. All you need is a Christmas tree and the holiday spirit for the perfect festive atmosphere.

4. Hire a Pianist for Jazzy Christmas Classics

Set the mood with a pianist tapping out jazzy Christmas tunes while your guests sip mulled wine and pretend they live in a Hallmark movie. It's classy, it's cool, and it sure beats awkwardly humming along to a Spotify playlist. A pianist is a great mood-setter at Christmas events.

5. A Games Night

Who knew that charades could become the star attraction of your Xmas bash? Throw in some festive cheer (read: alcohol), and witness normally reserved colleagues transform into Oscar-worthy performers. It's budget-friendly, belly-laugh-inducing, and utterly unforgettable. For this festive occasion, ditch the mundane board games that often do the rounds and try some of these classics:
One night, Ultimate Werewolf
Don't get got
Wits and Wagers.

Having someone who knows how to play games master can really help with your festive atmosphere. Remember for the holiday season, a fast game is a good game.

6. Hire a Mixologist for Festive Cocktails

Elevate your refreshment game and hire a mixologist to craft unusual festive cocktails. Because let's face it, after one too many eggnogs, your guests might need a palate cleanser. Trust us, "Sleigh My Name" cocktails taste far better than they sound.

7 Christmas Stilt Walkers

Christmas-themed entertainment and festive fun rolled into one lanky bit of holiday cheer! These walkabout characters can help break the ice and add a little visual candy to pep up Christmas parties. Options include hiring a tall Christmas elf or the big man in red, adding the ideal festive entertainment.

8 Digital Caricaturist

The perfect walkabout act in this modern era. Instead of drawing your guests on paper, they get a digital drawing sent direct to their email or phone. If you're looking for Christmas party ideas to get people chatting, this is a great addition for festive parties.
