Ugly Christmas Sweater Party ─ Christmas Crafts, Recipes, Activities

‘Twas the night before the ugly sweater soiree
And all through your place,
Your perfect party clothes were put away without even a trace.
Your guests will drink cranberry cocktails and craft,
While wearing sweaters that are zany and daft.

Put on your ugly holiday sweater and get ready to PARTY! Whether you’re planning your own wacky celebration or contributing to someone else’s festive affair, here are the most deliciously ugly (in a good way!) ideas for making Christmas merry. Dress up in a crazy Poinsettia Poncho. Serve easy-to-prepare eats and drinks like Strawberry Santa Hats and Jingle Bells Sangria. Play a game of Candy Cane Pickup. You’re ready to go: just set the date!
