Rent a Pinball Machine

The classic, arcade-like fun encourages friendly competition and serves as a great conversation starter. Plus, it's sure to leave a lasting impression.
Host a Cookie Decorating Contest
Set up a cookie decorating station with a variety of icing, sprinkles, and festive toppings. This activity invites guests to tap into their creativity and adds a sweet touch to your gathering. You could even turn it into a friendly competition with a prize for the best-decorated cookie. It’s fun, interactive, and delicious!
Cozy Holiday Movie Night
Transform your living room into a holiday cinema with classic films like Elf, Home Alone, or It’s a Wonderful Life. Add cozy blankets, pillows, popcorn, and hot chocolate for a complete movie experience. Your guests can relax, laugh, and enjoy the holiday spirit together.
Karaoke and Sing-Alongs
Get the party going with holiday karaoke! Set up a karaoke machine or use an app to let guests sing their favorite holiday songs. From classic carols to modern hits, everyone can join in for a fun sing-along. It’s a surefire way to fill the room with laughter and holiday cheer.
DIY Ornament and Craft Station
Create a holiday craft station with supplies for guests to make their own ornaments or holiday decorations. Provide clear ornaments, paint, glitter, and festive ribbon. This activity is perfect for both kids and adults, and everyone leaves with a special keepsake from your gathering.
Play Holiday Trivia
Test your guests' holiday knowledge with a game of trivia. Prepare questions about holiday movies, traditions, and music to keep everyone engaged. Not only is it entertaining, but it’s also a great icebreaker that sparks fun conversations. Small prizes for winners can add an extra layer of excitement!
Create a Holiday Photo Booth
Set up a photo booth with a festive backdrop and holiday-themed props like Santa hats, elf ears, and reindeer antlers. Guests can take fun photos to remember the event and share the memories on social media. It’s a simple way to add fun and capture unforgettable moments.
Organize a Candy Cane Hunt
Hide candy canes around your home or yard and let guests search for them, similar to an Easter egg hunt. This activity is great for kids and adds a fun, competitive element for adults too. You can even include special candy canes that offer small prizes when found.
Group Games: Charades and Pictionary
Set up a holiday-themed charades or Pictionary game to get everyone involved. Use prompts like “decorating the Christmas tree” or “Santa’s workshop” to keep it fun and festive. It’s a great way to encourage interaction and laughter among guests.
From renting a pinball machine to hosting a cookie decorating contest, these activities are sure to create a memorable holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Backholm Insurance.
