6 Easy Elf-Themed Christmas Party Ideas for 2025

Christmas is the most magical time of the year — and what better way to celebrate than with an Elf-themed party that brings Santa’s helpers to life? Whether you’re planning a fun afternoon for your little ones or hosting a Christmas playdate, an elf-inspired celebration is easy to set up and full of festive cheer.

At Tara’s Wonderworld, we believe every detail should feel special — from the decorations to the activities. That’s why all our Elf products are personalisable, allowing you to add names, special messages, or festive touches that make your Christmas truly one-of-a-kind. Here are some simple and adorable Elf-themed Christmas party ideas that will make your celebration unforgettable.

1. Welcome Guests with an Elf Balloon Display

Set the scene with a cheerful burst of colour! Use red, green, and gold balloons to create a festive atmosphere — and make your display extra magical with our Elf Arrival Balloon and Swing Set.

The Balloon Elf loves being the centre of attention. Place him near the entrance to greet guests, let him peek out sitting on the swing, or even have him “float” above the party table.

💡 Tip: Hide your Balloon Elf in a new spot halfway through the party and turn it into a game of “Find the Elf!”

2. Send Magical Invitations with the Envelope Elf

Every great party starts with an exciting invitation — and our Elf Arrival Envelope Set is the perfect messenger!

Have your Envelope Elf “deliver” the invitations a few days before the party, or use him to hand out special notes and clues during your event. He’s also great for a “Letter to Santa” activity station where kids can write their Christmas wishes.

💡 Tip: Set up a mini postbox at the party where kids can “send” their letters — the Envelope Elf will make sure they reach the North Pole!

3. Create a Cosy Elf Workshop with the House Elf

Every elf needs a place to work! Set up a small Elf Workshop table where kids can make Christmas crafts like paper snowflakes, baubles, or Santa hats.

Our friendly Elf Arrival House Set will feel right at home here, watching over the little helpers as they get creative. Add twinkling lights, mini candy canes, and some Christmas music to bring the space to life.

💡 Tip: Let each child take home what they make — it’s a fun activity and a lovely keepsake!

4. Serve Festive Elf Snacks

Keep your little elves happy with simple themed treats. You can serve:

• Elf Hats – Ice cream cones filled with sweets and topped with red icing.
• Reindeer Mix – Popcorn, pretzels, and red and green chocolates.
• North Pole Milkshakes – Vanilla shakes with candy cane stirrers.

Decorate your snack table with balloons and elves for a picture-perfect setup. The Balloon Elf looks especially fun beside colourful cupcakes!

5. Plan Elf-Inspired Games

No elf party is complete without a few giggles! Here are some easy games that everyone will love:

• Elf Hunt – Hide your Balloon, Envelope, and House Elves around the room for the kids to find.
• Pin the Hat on the Elf – A Christmas twist on a classic game.
• Elf Freeze Dance – Play Christmas songs and shout “Freeze!” whenever the music stops.

💡 Tip: Give small prizes like stickers or sweets delivered by the Envelope Elf!

6. Capture the Magic

Set up a photo corner with festive backdrops and props — balloons, tinsel, and of course, your elves! Kids can pose with the Balloon Elf or write thank-you notes with the Envelope Elf before going home.

These little touches make your party feel personal, fun, and full of Christmas spirit.
