Dreaming of a Cozy Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, every creature was dreaming of outfits to lounge in. The wool stockings were worn by the fire with care, and the gifts under the tree were all from Altair.
This is our dream Christmas eve night, and we can make it yours too! When it comes to making the holidays magical, we believe it’s all about the little things that make the biggest difference. From Christmas party games to Christmas activities to Christmas tree decorating ideas, there’s something for everyone that will make the holidays a little more magical– and we have cute outfit options for every activity that can make your holidays a little more manageable too.
#1: Plan Christmas Party Games
The easiest way to appease the masses at any Christmas party gathering is to give them something to do. That’s where fun Christmas party games come in. Our favorite Christmas games are easy to learn and require minimal supplies for a quick set up and take down. The best part is that it’s a guaranteed way to break the ice and get lots of belly laughs.
Try out these Christmas party games when you’re looking for something fun to get the good times going.
- Blindfolded Bows: Using a spatula, players take turns picking up gift bows and placing them into a bowl while blindfolded.
- Snowman Hands: Players attempt to collect as many marshmallows as they can using cups on their hands.
- Fishing for Candy Canes: Players take turns using a candy cane in their mouth to collect other candy canes.
Our favorite party planning outfits are ones that are lightweight and require little effort to look effortless. We recommend reaching for these sets when you’re planning the next Christmas Eve game night.
#2: Watch a Cheesy Christmas Movie
There’s no shortage of cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies so might as well make the most of it! Pop the popcorn, stock up on snacks, heat up your favorite cozy drink, and settle in for a night of snuggles and cringey reactions (it’s bound to happen).
The best matching loungewear for a warm night indoors is loungewear that feels gentle on the skin and puts you at ease. Our go-tos are the satin-like Shana and the casual Mia– two elevated sweat sets for women that will make your Christmas evening cool in all the right ways.
#3: Make Homemade Hot Chocolate
This activity might make things a little messy, but the memories will be worth it. Especially if you’re watching a classic Christmas movie, you’re going to want a steaming cup of hot coca to go with it. Here’s some of our favorite homemade hot chocolate recipes. Follow us on Pinterest for more holiday inspiration!
- Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
- The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

An outfit that can handle the mess and take out the stress is what you need for this Christmas event. The Haley in jade and almond is festive and the perfect waffle knit matching set to take the reins on movie night.
#4: Create Christmas Ornaments and Decor
Let’s get crafty! From tasty marshmallow snowmen to sentimental felt ornaments, the list for best Christmas crafts goes on and on. Our favorite part about this Christmas activity is that it’s great for children (and adults) of all ages. You don’t need an artist’s eye to make something cute that will be treasured for years to come. Explore different craft options for the family and find something that everyone will enjoy!
Crafting and cute sets just go together. These two piece matching sets are some of our cutest loungewear pieces that we love to style for the ultimate Christmas craft day.
#5: Sing Christmas Carols
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear (name that movie.) You don’t have to be the next American Idol to feel the Christmas spirit. Get the entire family in on the fun by gathering around your piano, guitar, or blue tooth speaker to jam out to some classic Christmas tunes. You can’t go wrong with some Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Mistletoe by Justin Bieber.
Don’t know if you have the correct caroling attire? Look no further than your Altair wardrobe. Don these winter classics for a chic singing session in style.

Make this Christmas the most memorable yet with matching Christmas pajamas that you’ll want to wear through all the seasons.
