Host a "Fill Santa’s Sleigh Party"! #amazonfinds


Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the holidays this year? Hosting a “Fill Santa’s Sleigh” party is a heartwarming way to gather friends and family while giving back to those in need. The concept is simple: each guest brings an unwrapped toy, and together, you fill “Santa’s sleigh” with gifts that will be donated to charity. It’s a festive and rewarding way to spread holiday cheer while making a difference in your community. Ready to host a party that gives back, here we go? 


1. Set the Theme with Invitations: Your invitation sets the tone for the event, so make it fun and clear that this is a charitable holiday gathering. You can either go digital with e-vites or send out charming paper invites. Make sure to include details about the donation aspect and suggest the types of toys needed (from plush animals to educational toys). A cute touch: Encourage guests to dress in festive attire to really set the holiday mood!

2. Deck the Halls with Holiday Cheer: Create a warm and festive atmosphere with holiday decorations that make your guests feel the Christmas spirit the moment they walk in. String up fairy lights, hang lit ornaments, and of course, set up a designated spot for “Santa’s sleigh.” This decorative sleigh can serve as the centerpiece for toy donations, and after the party, it makes for a great piece of holiday decor!

3. Serve Up Some Festive Treats: No holiday party is complete without delicious seasonal snacks! Set up a buffet of festive finger foods and fun holiday drinks. Think classic Christmas cookies, a charcuterie board, and a DIY drink station where guests can create their own hot beverages. You could offer a mix of hot chocolate bombs and mulled cider, with toppings like mini marshmallows, and cinnamon sticks for that extra festive touch. A sleek Insulated Beverage Dispenser is perfect for keeping hot cocoa or mulled cider warm throughout the night, making it easy for guests to serve themselves. Make your drink station extra fun by letting guests top off their hot cocoa or cider with fresh whipped cream from a handy dispenser.

4. Plan a Fun Holiday Game or Activity: While the main focus is on filling Santa’s sleigh, it’s always a good idea to plan a fun holiday game or activity to keep guests entertained. Try a classic like Christmas trivia or a gift wrap timed races. Alternatively, you can set up a holiday craft station where guests can create their own ornaments or holiday cards to take home.

5. End with a Special Thank You: As the party wraps up, take a moment to thank your guests for their generosity. A thoughtful way to do this is by handing out small holiday favors, such as tree ornaments or a mini box of holiday cookies. You can also send a follow-up note letting them know when and where the toys were donated, so they can feel connected to the good cause.

Hosting a Fill Santa’s Sleigh party is more than just a festive get-together—it’s a way to make a meaningful impact during the holidays. By coming together with friends and family, you’re creating a tradition of giving that can bring joy to children in need.
