Most of the year, you can’t wait for it to be summer. Summer means family beach trips, lounging by the pool, and eating as many popsicles as your body can possibly hold. Around mid-July, though, you start wishing it were any other month. July gets hot. It’s way too hot for the beach or the pool, and no amount of popsicles is going to cool you down. It’s the kind of weather where you don’t ever want to leave your nice, cool, air conditioned house. While you can’t do anything about the temperature outside, you can transform your home into a winter wonderland with a fabulous Christmas in July party.
Christmas in July is a classic party theme for a reason. Its cozy holiday vibes transport anyone who attends the party to beautiful snowy landscapes and cooler temperatures. Cover your house in paper snowflakes and pretty wreaths and you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of December, not July. Christmas in July parties can make you forget all about the blazing heat outside. So crank the AC, throw on your favorite holiday sweater, and get crafting. Your wintery escape awaits!
Season Appropriate DIY Christmas Trees
Probably one of the biggest obstacles to throwing a true Christmas party in the middle of summer is that there is nowhere to buy real Christmas trees, which means you’ll probably have to make your own. No problem, right? This list has several alternative Christmas tree options, from cute tabletop paper trees to a giant coloring page you can stick up on your wall. Don’t let your lack of access to evergreens stop you from getting your holiday party on!
