4. Retro Christmas cocktails
Something about the festive season makes us nostalgic for anything vintage and homey. Hosting a vintage Christmas cocktail brunch party is a great way to embrace that mood. Make use of those old-fashioned glasses to offer eggnog, brandy slushies, and other throwback drinks this Christmas. Combine them with some vintage-style foods to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
You can also opt to book a venue like this retro Art Deco diner in Brighton, England. This amazing space provides you with vintage decor and brunch eats by way of its on-site catering. Sounds fab to us!
5. Christmas around the world
You can celebrate Christmas using traditions from all over the world to enhance your brunch celebration. This tour of Christmas cookies is a great place to begin, but don’t forget to include dishes representing your heritage and travel destinations that you enjoy. For example, you might want to prepare a few of these recipes to pay homage to Italy’s Feast of the Seven Fishes, make traditional Mexican tamales, or serve traditional German glühwein wine, to celebrate the Christmas holidays.
Don’t feel like cooking yourself? Then high-tail it to a Peerspace venue, like this Parisian cafe in Pasadena. You and your guests will enjoy the French-inspired surroundings as well as the menu exquise!
6. White Christmas brunch
White Christmas brunch is the perfect reason to go all-out with an exquisite color scheme (and maybe a screening of a holiday film classic in the background)? To create a white Christmas brunch, choose food, drinks, and decor that seem to be frosted with snow. These snow-dusted treats are an excellent starting point — and you may want to end with an enticing White Russian.

7. Secret Santa exchange
Whether it’s called Secret Santa, White Elephant, or Yankee Swap, a gift exchange among friends is always entertaining over the holidays, regardless of the event. Be the talk of the swap by uniquely presenting your exchange. These easy Christmas finger snacks will make everyone happy — no matter what ridiculous present they get — so that they can enjoy themselves.
8. Holiday brunch
December calendars may soon become overflowing with activities between Christmas cocktail parties, visits to relatives, and preparing your own house for visitors. Instead of adding one more evening event to your schedule, why not host a non-specific holiday brunch instead? Don’t forget to get out your festive table linens, prepare a few festive brunch dishes, and even consider serving a specialty drink like a cranberry mimosa to complement the occasion.
If you’re in or near New York City, consider hosting at this private townhouse in Bushwick. You not only get access to the gorgeous interior complete with a chef’s kitchen, but you can serve brunch on the rooftop that has a space heater, string lights, and family-style dining table!
9. Cookie exchange
A cookie exchange is among the innovative Christmas brunch ideas. When you get together with friends and relatives, you may enjoy a wide range of delicious cookies and make new ones. Ask guests to bring a few dozen of their favorite cookies to share if they participate in a cookie exchange.
After that, give everyone a festive Christmas tin to take their treats home with them. Stick to appetizers and small nibbles during the party so that you have plenty of space to taste all of the cookies and treats.
10. Gingerbread village
Let your friends and family members showcase their artistic abilities by hosting a gingerbread home decorating Christmas brunch party. Create a competition and award prizes in various categories if you want to go the extra mile. Don’t forget to have food and beverages available to keep everyone energized during the program.
