Names for the party itself, from puns such as Sleigh All Day, Yule Be Sorry and Fleece Navidad to classy titles such as The Evergreen Gala. They cover office parties, family gatherings, ugly sweater nights, Secret Santa swaps, cookie exchanges and Friendsmas.

About Christmas party names

A Christmas party gets a name for a practical reason: it has to stand out in a full December calendar. A name also sets the tone. Sleigh All Day promises silliness, The Evergreen Gala asks for a nicer outfit, and Don We Now Our Bad Apparel tells everyone which sweater to dig out.

The names cover each kind of party. Office parties get workplace jokes such as Season's Meetings, Yule Log Off and Desk the Halls. Family gatherings get warmer names, like Home for the Holly Days and Cousins, Cocoa and Chaos. There are names for ugly sweater contests (Fleece Navidad, Tacky the Halls), for Secret Santa and white elephant swaps (Wrap Battle, Re-Gift of the Magi), for cookie exchanges (Let It Dough, Batch Made in Heaven), for Friendsmas, for school and church parties, and for formal dinners such as The Fezziwig Ball, named after the party-loving employer in A Christmas Carol.

About half of the names are jokes, many of them puns on carols and Christmas sayings, and all of them are clean enough for a workplace email or a school flyer. A few borrow other traditions, including Nochebuena, Las Posadas and the Italian American Seven Fishes supper. Use a name as written, or add your family name, your company or the year.

How to choose Christmas party names

  • Match the name to the dress code. Black Tie and Mistletoe and Ho Ho Hoedown send guests to very different parts of the closet.
  • Put the practical detail in a subtitle. "Wrap Battle: a 20 dollar gift swap" gets a laugh and still tells people what to bring.
  • For a workplace where not everyone keeps Christmas, pick a winter or year-end name such as Year-End Cheer, Snow Place Like Home or Let It Snow, Let It Glow.
  • Say the pun out loud before you print it. Fleece Navidad works when spoken, while Desk the Halls only lands on paper.
  • If the party might come back next year, choose a name that can carry a number. The First Annual Friendsmas is a promise as well as a title.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny Christmas party names?

Puns on carols and sayings do most of the work: Sleigh All Day, Yule Be Sorry, Rebel Without a Claus, Oh Come All Ye Hungry, Not So Silent Night and Ho Ho Hoedown. For a gift swap, try Wrap Battle or White Elephant in the Room. All of the humor in the list is family friendly.

What is a good name for an office Christmas party?

Workplace jokes that everyone gets are the safest choice, such as Season's Meetings, Out of Office, Into the Eggnog, Deck the Cubicles and That's a Wrap Party. If you would rather not joke about work, a plain festive name like Mingle All the Way or Merry Everything suits any team. Keep the name free of inside jokes that new colleagues would not understand.

What should I call an ugly sweater party?

Try Don We Now Our Bad Apparel, Tacky the Halls, Fleece Navidad, Vests of Christmas Past or The Ugliest Sweater Wins. If there is a contest, say so in the name or the subtitle, so guests know to make an effort. The Golden Pom-Pom Awards works well for that.

Are there classy Christmas party names too?

Yes. About one name in ten is written for a formal dinner, a ball or a reception, for example The Evergreen Gala, Candlelight and Carols, The Twelfth Night Ball and A Night in Winter White. They suit printed invitations, charity evenings and client events where a pun would feel out of place.
