Fun Winter Birthday Party Themes

With a December birthday, I’m always looking for ways to celebrate that don’t involve Christmas. And if you have a birthday near the holiday season, I’m sure you’re the same way! Luckily, I’m here to help you celebrate with some awesome party ideas. These fun winter birthday party themes are the perfect way to celebrate your big day this winter.

Fun Winter Birthday party themes

Winter Wonderland

Celebrate the cold weather surrounding your birthday season by hosting a winter wonderland party this year. Decorate with snowflake and ice-themed décor, using an icy blue or silver color pallet to glam up the event. And the best part about this fun theme is you can find tons of beautiful decorations in the Christmas aisle. Using glittery snowflake ornaments as accents are a fun way to add some sparkle to your winter birthday celebration.

Denim and Diamonds

Take the word ice to a new level this winter and host a denim and diamonds party for your winter birthday. Ask all your guests to dress up their denim with their favorite sparkly jewelry to celebrate your big day. Then, decorate with all the glitter, jewels, and denim you can find to complete this fun party theme.

Hot Chocolate

Make sure your guests stay warm throughout your party by centering your party theme around a winter favorite – hot chocolate. The centerpiece of this party could be an amazing hot chocolate bar, complete with a variety of hot chocolates to choose from – dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, etc. Then, fill the table with tons of great add-ins to dress up the drinks. Peppermint sticks, chocolate spoons, and, of course, mini marshmallows are a great start. And since this is an adult party, you can’t forget to include some spirits to mix in with your hot chocolate – Bailey’s and bourbon both make delicious hot chocolate enhancements.

Champagne Tasting

Looking for an elegant way to celebrate your winter birthday this year? A champagne tasting party is a perfect idea! Simply supply your guests with a variety of delicious champagnes to drink, along with long-stemmed champagne glasses and fancy finger foods like mini sandwiches and cakes, the enjoy an afternoon of bubbly and treats for your birthday.

Casino Night

Since you’ll have to host your party inside, why not make the indoors fun this winter? A casino-themed party is a great way to celebrate a winter birthday. Supply your guests with (fake) birthday money or gambling chips, then set up a few different gaming tables (think blackjack, poker, craps, etc.) for your guests to enjoy.

Ice Cream Social

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a cold treat on your birthday. If you’re an ice cream lover, this fun winter birthday party theme is for you! An ice cream social is a classic party theme that is always popular with guests. To host an ice cream social, set up a big ice cream bar filled with a variety of ice cream flavors, along with all the toppings you can imagine. Start with the classics, like hot fudge and sprinkles, then add some of your favorite candies, cookies, and even some salty treats to the display. You could also add to the adult fun by including some spirits to enjoy along with the ice cream to really kick the party into full gear.

Murder Mystery

Keep your guests entertained the entire night with this fun party theme. A murder mystery party is great for anyone who enjoys a little bit of drama on their birthday. And the best part about this party theme is you can purchase murder mystery party kits that have everything you need to host the party, including characters, storylines, and ideas for food and decorations.

Spa Party

Hoping to get a little bit of relaxation in on your birthday this year? Bring the spa to you and your best girlfriends by hosting a spa party. Create a relaxing spa environment in the comfort of your own home by dimming the lights and lighting some aromatherapy candles, then provide each of your guests with a plush robe to relax in. Top off the event by inviting some professionals over to do manicures, pedicures, facials, and even massages.

Dinner Party

If you love spending time with your friends and enjoying good conversation throughout the evening, a dinner party is a great way to celebrate your winter birthday. And while dinner parties are often thought of as stuffy formal events, a casual dinner party is actually a great way to celebrate. To host a dinner party for your birthday, invite a few friends over and enjoy a casual meal together. You can decorate your table with a beautiful centerpiece, candles, and place settings with name cards for each guest. Then, serve your favorite meal with wine and cake for dessert.

Do you have any fun winter birthday party themes that you can add to the list? Which one would you do for your birthday?

    I love these themes! We all have summer birthdays in our family, so I never really thought about how tough a winter party must be.

    An ice cream social would be so nice. I like the idea of setting up an ice cream bar and the guests can help themselves with the ice cream flavor of their choice and endless toppings and drizzles of chocolate, caramel or fruit.
