9. Tree trimming
Just do it! Decorate your space with snowflakes and suspend a garland made of puffs of cotton. Have an ornament-painting activity or, even better, ask guests to bring an ornament to hang on your tree. It is your holiday-adjacent birthday party, after all!
The menu is simple: serve festive canapes and mountains of cookies. For refreshments, offer spiked eggnog and peppermint cocktails.
10. For the quiet among us
Step one: search Peerspace for a creative space or floral shop venue. We love the idea of hosting a creative birthday party at this Studio City plant and flower shop in Los Angeles. It boasts tons of natural light, high ceilings, custom-made furniture, and of course, tons of lush plants.
From there, choose what DIY class you and your friends would enjoy celebrating your winter birthday with. For example, you can create snow globes, grapevine wreaths, or garlands made of fabric scraps. No need for party favors since they’ll create their own. This is one of the more creative winter birthday party ideas.
11. Caribbean party
Think warm thoughts! Host a Caribbean-themed birthday party to forget about the fact it’s winter. Reggae music and steel drums greet your guests as you welcome them with a fruity rum drink — Goombay Smash is a great way to get a party started! Serve conch and rock lobsters, rice and peas, then top off the meal with guava duff and rum cake.
This theme is also guaranteed to have your guests up and dancing all night. It may be the peak of winter, but you and your guests will enjoy hot Caribbean vibes that are totally transportive.
Make it easy on yourself and book a Peerspace venue that’s island-inspired! In California? Here are some of our personal fave options:
12. Bonfire
This isn’t any old fire circle: we’re talking about a towering, raging photo op of a bonfire! Cooking, of course, should happen over a smaller fire and should be a small step above typical camping fare.
Grill meat or meat alternatives, veggie kabobs, and foil pans of O’Brien potatoes as the entree. For dessert, how about you serve sugar cones filled with fruit, marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips? It’s a fun take on the obvious s’mores campfire dessert (although that goes well too if you prefer it)!
There’s nothing better than singing around a fire, so musically inclined friends can be encouraged to bring guitars.
13. Chili cookoff
Celebrate the connoisseur of all things spicy and hearty! Plan ahead by asking guests to arrive with their favorite chili concoction or accompaniment. Let everyone cut loose and cook a bit of everything! Your menu can include interesting, diverse selections: five-bean, three-alarm, white chicken, chili pepper, and chocolate. Also add a six-pack of hot sauces, crusty bread, and plenty of cold beer and non-alcoholic beverages to wash it down.
And as a side note, this type of party is ideal in a venue with pool tables and dartboards. Trust us.
Bonus: Winter birthday photoshoot
No matter your age, celebrate the fact that you’re starting your journey to a whole new year of adventures and wisdom with a professional photoshoot. In fact, we think any excuse to celebrate yourself with a photoshoot is a great one! But this is especially true with a birthday.
Shake off the winter doldrums, book a stunning wintry photoshoot location on Peerspace, and start planning that wardrobe! There is nothing like starting a new year with a boost of confidence (and a set of stunning images)! Check out this article for even more wintry photoshoot ideas!
