How to Host a Holiday Party with Your Hot Tub

Is it your turn to host the holiday party this year? Struggling to find an awesome twist to the traditional dinner? Host your holiday get-together in your hot tub for an exciting alternative to the same ol’ stuffy meal. Your party will be the hit of the year with people of all ages, from Grandma and Grandpa to nieces and nephews!

Festive Foods and Drinks

What you serve at your festive gathering of holiday fun is up to you. But it’s helpful to plan ahead where you’re serving and eating. You could serve food inside, keeping with your traditional table dinner, and have set times for eating and soaking. But if you really want to shake things up, you can serve dinner buffet style and let people eat when they please and sit in the hot tub when they want.

We don’t recommend serving food and drinks in your hot tub, however, because you’re just one spill away from having to totally drain and refill your tub. We also don’t recommend alcohol while hot tubbing, because it increases the chance for accidents and other health risks.

Don the Decorations

Decorating for a Christmas or New Year’s party is almost as fun as the party itself. Hang up some stringed lights around your porch. Add garland and tinsel to your spa. You can even have an outdoor Christmas tree for a beautiful focal point your guests can admire while they relax. You can also add aromatherapy from the inSPAration® collection for a special touch.

Party Games

Almost any holiday party game can be played inside the cozy warmth of your hot tub. Play a word game like guessing popular Christmas songs and lyrics, or a version of holiday trivia. You can also find fun sports like inflatable reindeer antlers for a ring toss. And, if you want to keep your party activities on the traditional side, you can always move inside to play Dirty Santa (White Elephant) while others have the spa to themselves.

Special Touches

Bring a touch of holiday magic to your party by setting up stations for fun activities like a hot cocoa bar. Let your guests choose between milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even tea. Fun toppings like whipped cream or cinnamon will keep your friends and family warm and cozy in between hot tub soaking and gift unwrapping. Or, you could also have a cookie decorating station, perfect for kids and adults alike. With an array of sugar cookies or gingerbread men, your guests will have a blast decorating with colored icing, sprinkles, and gumdrops.

The year has been long — full of ups and downs — but the holiday season is a time of giving and reflecting on all of your blessings. This year, you can give the best gift of all: relaxation and celebration. Find your holiday cheer with a hot tub at Bonnie & Clyde’s.
