With just a little creativity and preparation, you can make celebrating the holidays in your Waterford RiNo apartment fun and festive. For most people, getting in the holiday spirit begins when the Christmas decorations are displayed. You might prefer a traditional red and green Chistmas theme, or you may be drawn to some recent apartment winter trends, like using multiple layers of soft textures to create a cozy atmosphere. Whatever holiday decor style you choose, it will serve as a perfect backdrop for a happy celebration filled with with loved ones, fun games, and of course….delectable desserts.
Staying Indoors: Games and Desserts
Adults and kids alike will get a real kick out of playing some fun indoor games. Of course, playing for fun is the whole purpose, but offering small prizes to the winners make the activities even more exciting. Here are a few friendly party contests tailored for the holiday:
Treating your sweet tooth to mouth-watering desserts are a big part of the season. For a versitle dessert option likely to appeal to most of your guests, try a cheesecake bar. Serve plain cheesecake slices with toppings set up in buffet style. Some ideas for toppings are fresh fruit, fruit glaze, and chocolate shavings.
Celebrating New Years
Ringing in the new year does not have to mean going out in the cold, trying to reserve a table, and paying for overpriced drinks. Invite a few friends over to celebrate. Enlist each friend to bring along a bottle of wine, valued under $20, and have a casual wine tasting. Instead of a big sit-down dinner, serve a selection of cheeses and filling finger foods. This Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip is a great option for get-togethers.
Enjoy a Cozy Atmosphere All Season
Preparing your apartment for the holidays doesn’t mean unpacking decorations just to pack them back in a few weeks. Rather than using decor designed for one particular day, think about the winter season in general. Shag rugs, sherpa throws, and plush accent pillows in muted colors offer a warm, comforting vibe that will last until springtime. Check out Rare Finds Warehouse on East Stapleton for unique decor to compliment your cozycore living space.
