The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by transforming your backyard into a festive retreat! A Christmas hot tub party is the perfect way to bring together friends and family for some cozy, bubbly fun. At Patio Pleasures, we believe in creating memorable moments with the help of our high-quality hot tubs and outdoor living essentials. Here’s how you can host the ultimate Christmas hot tub party that will leave everyone talking well into the new year.
Transform your backyard into a holiday paradise with warm lights, festive decorations, and an inviting ambiance. Consider stringing twinkle lights around your patio and adding themed decorations like garlands, ornaments, or even an inflatable snowman nearby. Don’t forget to place a cozy outdoor rug and provide plenty of soft towels and robes to keep everyone warm between dips in the hot tub.
Looking to take it up a notch? Add a fire table or tiki torches to ensure your guests stay comfortable. You can find great options right here at Patio Pleasures to complete your outdoor setup.
No holiday party is complete without delicious drinks and snacks. Keep your guests warm with mugs of hot cocoa, spiced cider, or mulled wine. For a fun twist, set up a DIY hot chocolate bar with toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, and candy canes. Pair these drinks with bite-sized holiday treats like gingerbread cookies or mini candy canes for a festive touch.
If you’re in the mood to impress, try serving champagne or sparkling cider in plastic flutes – elegant yet safe for a hot tub setting.
Music sets the tone for any party, and a hot tub gathering is no exception. Create a playlist filled with holiday classics and upbeat tunes to keep the energy alive. Consider including a mix of genres to cater to everyone’s tastes, from Bing Crosby’s timeless hits to modern favorites like Michael Bublé or Coldplay.
Don’t have outdoor speakers? No problem! Bluetooth waterproof speakers are a fantastic investment for any hot tub owner.
Keep your guests engaged with fun, hot tub-friendly activities. Play classic games like charades or trivia with a holiday twist. For a more relaxed vibe, try floating waterproof LED lights or glow-in-the-dark toys in the water.
Want to add a little friendly competition? Hand out prizes for the best ugly sweater, holiday swimwear, or the most creative holiday-themed drink.
While the holiday fun is essential, safety is paramount. Make sure to keep the hot tub at a comfortable temperature (around 100°F–102°F is ideal). Limit soak times to 15–20 minutes to avoid overheating, and ensure children are always supervised.
Provide plenty of non-alcoholic drink options to keep everyone hydrated, and encourage your guests to take breaks to cool off and mingle outside the tub.
End your Christmas hot tub party on a high note by giving your guests small, thoughtful party favors. Consider handing out festive candles, mini holiday-scented lotions, or even Patio Pleasures gift certificates for their own backyard upgrades!
With these tips, you can create a magical hot tub party experience your guests will cherish. At Patio Pleasures, we’re here to help you create the perfect outdoor environment for entertaining, no matter the season.
