Send Out Invites

Start by sending out invitations well in advance to give your guests time to plan.  If your group is small, coordinate your calendars to find the best date for a Christmas tea. Holiday commitments quickly fill up everyone’s schedules. Consider sending physical Christmas tea invitations to remind everyone of the date. Use social media to create a group or chat to keep your guests up to date.

  • Traditional Christmas Tea
  • Rustic or outdoor theme
  • Elegant

  • Green tea
  • Herbal tea
  • Festive Christmas blends like cinnamon or peppermint.

Along with a large variety of teas, provide snacks at your Christmas tea party.

  • Finger sandwiches
  • Scones
  • Cakes
  • Cookies
  • Christmas themed treats

Tea Station

Create a beautiful tea station area. Start with a festive tablecloth, and add small decorative touches like fresh flowers or Christmas figurines. Set out everything for your guest to have the perfect cup of tea.

  • Selection of teas
  • Hot water in a tea kettle (Christmas kettle adds an extra touch of the season)
  • Christmas teacups and saucers
  • Tea strainers
  • Sugar

Games and Activities

Plan Christmas-themed activities or games to entertain your guests at your Christmas tea. Play holiday-themed trivia quizzes, host an ornament exchange, small gift exchange, book exchange, or set up a cookie decorating station. Activities and games are a great way to engage your guests.

Party Favors

Everyone loves small gifts or trinkets. Prepare small party favors or treat bags for your guests to take home. It could be something as simple as individually wrapped cookies, small bags of tea leaves, or handmade ornaments. Personalize the bags with Christmas-themed tags and ribbons.

Enjoy Your Party

As the host of your Christmas tea, remember to enjoy the company of your guests. Your hard work is over. Now, take time to savor the tea and delicious festive treats. Capture memories by taking candid pictures and a group photo. Next, relax to embrace the joy and warmth of the Christmas season.
