Holiday events can be whatever you want them to be, but the last thing you want them to be is “ho-hum.” Use these entertainment ideas to make sure your holiday event is remembered as more than a bad pun.
Face painters
Professional face painters are the highlight of any family event, which is why adding face painting to your entertainment line-up is sure to please everyone in your audience. With incredible talent, professional face painters come equipped with a wide variety of designs—including holiday images and colors.
Comedian
Make the holidays a jolly time with a comedian that can adapt their act to the season and your audience. A quality comedian is flexible, and can fill their act full of jollies that suit your audience.
Gifts
Gifts are always a hit with your audience. Who better to deliver those gifts than Father Christmas? Hire a professional Father Christmas to hand out your gifts and get everyone in the holiday mood.
Carolers
Establishing atmosphere is never more important that at a holiday event. Carolers can be the key to that atmosphere, filling the room full of cheer with songs specially suited to your event.
Show
Dinner and a show are always hit at a formal affair, and a spectacular musical journey through the years is sure to fit the bill. Inspired by the classic films Holiday Inn and White Christmas, this spectacular holiday concert will take you on a musical journey of memorable songs from the fabulous ‘40’s & ‘50’s. Complete with lavish costumes, original arrangements, comedy and plenty of sentiment, this show is a holiday favorite.
Cookie decorating & crafts
Satisfy two event needs with one fell swoop. Give your holiday elves another job to do (besides making toys) at your event. Holiday elves can be the perfect facilitators for cookie decorating, crafts, or passing out gifts. Your audience is going to feel like they were transported to the North Pole for the duration of your event.
Band
Give your audience a holiday concert they’ll never forget. Hire a band that fits your theme: country, jazz, pop, etc. and build your event around your entertainment. Use your venue, décor, menu, and other event details to create a complete holiday atmosphere with your chosen theme.
Mariachi band
If you want to create a more international-themed event, consider hiring an entertainer suitable for an around the world theme, a beach holiday, or an event with a theme that fits a certain country. Your entertainment agent can help you find the perfect entertainer that checks off all the boxes and leaves your guests full of holiday cheer.
