Summertime Festivities: Spreading Christmas Cheer Throughout the Summer Months
Embrace the holiday spirit a bit early this year with the fun and festive tradition of Christmas in July! This unique celebration, originating from a girls' summer camp in Brevard, North Carolina in 1933, is still celebrated every summer at Keystone Camp.
If you're planning to host your own Christmas in July party, there are plenty of creative ideas to inspire you. Theme your snacks with holiday favourites like sugar cookies or even movie-themed treats. For a touch of Christmas magic in your backyard, consider setting up a movie screening under the stars.
For those who love DIY projects, TikToker @sustainmycrafthabit offers tutorials on creating sustainable Christmas decorations using driftwood or reclaimed wood. Why not try your hand at a beachy Christmas tree art?
Christmas in July can help bring the holiday spirit of pumpkin spice season even in the heart of summer. If you're looking for more holiday inspiration, TikTok videos, such as the one @carolinaashworth shared of her family's Grinchmas in July celebration, are a great source of ideas.
For a festive iced drink, TikToker @livcakes77 has shared a recipe for a Grinchy white chocolate cold brew with creme de menthe creamer. Delicious!
As for decorations, Christmas cookies shaped like Santa Claus wearing sunglasses or palm tree cookies decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments made from sprinkles can add a fun touch to your party. You can find the perfect palm tree cookie cutter from Etsy seller rockcitycookies.
If you're more interested in a low-key celebration, a Hallmark movie marathon could be just what you need. To add a layer of festive competition, consider using a wooden Hallmark movie bingo board from Etsy seller TheCraftyChickCoLLC.
Christmas in July celebrations can vary greatly, from all-out parties to more intimate gatherings. No matter how you choose to celebrate, the spirit of Christmas in July is all about spreading joy and embracing the holiday season, even in the middle of summer.
