These will make just about any table stand out and definitely leave an unforgettable impression. Cookies/Activity If you want to have some traditional snacks for people then you can go with gingerbread men. When you are decorating them you can just decorate them with ugly Christmas sweaters to match the theme of your party. In fact, for a group activity you could put out the ingredients for decorations and let the guests decorate their own cookies and then have an ugly gingerbread man Christmas sweater contest and give out a prize to the ugliest one. A variation on this would be to make sugar cookies in the shape of sweaters and then decorate them. Drinks For drinks, you could have nearly any drink and put the drinks in glasses, mugs or party cups that have ugly sweater cozies around them. Planning for these parties does not have to be a chore. Be creative and your guests will love it.
