9 Christmas Baby Shower Ideas
If you’re having a baby in December, chances are you’re looking for some Christmas baby shower ideas.
A holiday baby shower is a fun way to celebrate with friends and family, and you can have a great time with a festive theme!
We’ve got some Christmas baby shower ideas to get you started on planning a fun and joyous event.
1. A Christmas baby shower invitation
The first thing you’ll need to do is to get the word out about your baby shower. You can do this by sending out invitations or by creating a Facebook event.
I like to send out invitations because it makes it feel more official and it’s a great way to set the tone for the party.
You can find a lot of cute Christmas baby shower invitations on Etsy. Some of my favorites are the ones that are designed to look like a Christmas tree ornament and the ones that are designed to look like a baby onesie.
2. A winter wonderland baby shower theme
It’s a winter baby! If you’re looking for a baby shower theme that’s full of sparkle and snow, a winter wonderland theme is perfect.
You can use white, silver, and gold to decorate with, and even add in a few pops of light blue if you’d like. We love the idea of a hot cocoa bar or a snowflake cake for this theme.
3. A Christmas tree diaper cake
What’s a diaper cake, you ask? It’s a super cute and creative way to gift an expectant mama with the most essential baby item — diapers!
We love the idea of a Christmas tree-themed diaper cake, complete with some baby-friendly toys and accessories.
Use some Christmas-themed receiving blankets and bibs to help decorate the cake, and add some baby toys and accessories like rattles, pacifiers, and baby socks to the mix.
You can also add some baby-safe Christmas ornaments to the cake to help with the tree theme.
4. Christmas baby shower decorations
The decorations are the most fun part of planning a baby shower, don’t you think? It’s the time to really let your creativity shine and make the space feel extra special for the mama-to-be.
Of course, the decorations at a Christmas baby shower will be a little different. You get to add in all the fun holiday elements, like garland, wreaths, ornaments and twinkle lights.
You can also choose to go with a traditional red and green color scheme, or something a little more unique, like pink, blue or gold.
5. Christmas baby shower food
One of the best things about a Christmas baby shower is the food! You can go as fancy or as simple as you want, and there are so many fun Christmas foods and desserts to choose from.
If you want to keep it simple, you could do a hot cocoa and cookie bar with a variety of cookies and toppings for the hot cocoa. If you want to do a full meal, a Christmas brunch would be perfect!
Or you could do a holiday appetizer and dessert spread. There are so many fun Christmas appetizers and desserts to choose from, and you can easily make them in small, bite-sized portions for a baby shower.
You could also do a mix of sweet and savory, or even have a Christmas cook-off and have everyone bring their favorite Christmas dish!
6. A hot cocoa bar
No winter party is complete without a hot cocoa bar! Your guests can create their own custom hot cocoa drinks with fun toppings like marshmallows, whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, and chocolate shavings.
It’s also fun to include some flavored syrups, like caramel and peppermint, so your guests can make their own custom hot cocoa flavors.
7. Baby
If you’re hosting a baby shower, you can still incorporate Christmas-themed treats and decor.
In addition to the ideas above, consider using a Christmas tree as a focal point and decorate it with baby items like pacifiers, onesies, and baby bottles.
You can also use a winter wonderland theme and decorate with snowflakes, silver and white decor, and a hot cocoa bar.
it’s cold outside! Favors
Whether you’re having an outdoor shower or just want to send your guests home with something to keep them warm, these hot cocoa favors are perfect!
I used mini hot cocoa bombs, but you could also use a hot cocoa stick. Just make sure to package them in a way that keeps the chocolate from melting.
8. Christmas baby shower games
Baby shower games are a must, and there are so many different ones to choose from. You can even find a variety of Christmas-themed baby shower games.
Some of the most popular Christmas baby shower games include:
• Baby Word Scramble: Unscramble the baby-related words in a set amount of time.
• Baby Bingo: Guests fill out their bingo cards with baby-related items, then mark them off as the mom-to-be opens her gifts.
• Baby Price Is Right: Guests guess the price of baby items and the person with the closest guess wins.
• Don’t Say Baby: Guests can’t say the word “baby” and if they do, they have to give their clothespin to the person who caught them.
• Baby Pictionary: This is just like regular Pictionary, but with baby-related items.
These games can be found in printable form or you can make your own. You can also find other non-Christmas-themed games and just add a holiday twist.
9. A Christmas baby shower outfit
A Christmas baby shower outfit is a must! You can go as festive as you want with a Christmas sweater, or keep it more low key with a simple red dress.
I love the idea of a dress that you can wear again for Christmas dinner. I found this one on Amazon and it’s so pretty.
I love the long sleeves and the flowy skirt. It’s perfect for a winter baby shower.
I added a festive Christmas headband and a pretty pair of bow earrings to go with it. You can add a fun pair of Christmas shoes if you want to go all out.
Conclusion
We hope you have a fantastic baby shower and get to enjoy the holidays!
