Here are some winter wonderland party ideas and tips for how to create your own winter wonderland.
Keep decorations for winter wonderland themes simple by placing snowflake cut-outs on your tables and tastefully using artificial snow throughout your party. Incorporate whites, blues, and silver accents, balloons, and streamers throughout your party space. One nice centerpiece idea for the cocktail tables is to take a clear vase and spray the outside with artificial snow spray, then fill the inside with a winter white flower display. Use the artificial snow spray on windows and wreaths for additional winter wonderland décor.

Winter Wonderland Cocktails
Create a signature cocktail to serve, to complement the winter wonderland theme party. Instead of buying mixes and ingredients for many different drinks, poll your guests on Punchbowl to find out which cocktail they favor so you can serve it at your event. We love the super easy recipes below!

Winter Wonderland Desserts
Easily incorporate your winter wonderland theme into you menu. Top cupcakes with white or blue frosting and snowflake garnishes. Find blue and white candy canes to add to your dessert table. You can even order blue and silver (or blue and white) candies for the dessert table or as party favors.
Create a special playlist to evoke an old Hollywood elegance. If your winter wonderland party is during the holiday season, include a few holiday songs. Mix in classic tunes such as, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" by Dean Martin, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra, "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt, and (of course!) "Winter Wonderland" by Bing Crosby.
Picture the beautiful ambiance of a winter wonderland party filled with blue, silver, and white decorations, delicious cocktails, delicious treats, and great music! Start planning your winter wonderland party today!
