With winter around the corner what are some great kids party ideas for this time of year?

Just because it’s chilly outside doesn’t mean your child’s birthday has to be! With a little creativity (and maybe some hot chocolate), you can turn any indoor space into a winter wonderland full of fun.

Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or an all-out celebration, these cozy winter party ideas will keep kids smiling, active, and entertained — no park or pool required.

⛸ 1. Ice-Skating-Themed Party

Bring the rink indoors with a charming ice-skating theme — no skates or slipping required! Use sparkly white and silver decorations, paper snowflakes, and DIY “ice” props to set the scene.

Kids can craft their own paper skates, decorate “frozen” cupcakes, and even leave with adorable mittens as party favours. It’s a low-stress way to create a cool experience they’ll never forget.

🐧 2. Penguin Party

Who doesn’t love penguins? This theme is cute, playful, and perfect for winter birthdays. Create a penguin paradise with black-and-white decorations, balloon penguins, and themed snacks like cupcakes with penguin toppers.

Invite guests to dress in penguin-inspired colours, and let the kids waddle away with DIY penguin crafts or plush toys as souvenirs.

💤 3. Cozy Sleepover Party

Sometimes smaller is sweeter. A winter sleepover party keeps things simple and stress-free — especially if you limit the guest list to just a few close friends.

Set up sleeping bags, fairy lights, and movie snacks for a magical night in. Kids can decorate cupcakes, watch movies, or even make crafts before bedtime. It’s inexpensive, easy to organize, and always a hit.

🎭 4. Bring the Fun Indoors with Live Entertainment

When it’s too cold for outdoor games, import the entertainment!
Bringing in professional children’s performers is an effortless way to keep kids engaged without the chaos.

At Right Choice Entertainment, our talented team offers face painters, magicians, balloon artists, and more — all trained to make kids laugh, participate, and stay active throughout the party.

Structured entertainment keeps kids busy, makes hosting easier, and ensures every child goes home happy (and tired).

🍪 5. Winter Cooking Party

Turn your kitchen into a mini culinary classroom! Kids can decorate cookies or cupcakes, make mini pizzas, or roll their own chocolate truffles.

Cooking parties are hands-on, educational, and surprisingly easy to plan. Set up small ingredient stations, supervise safely, and let each child create their own snack masterpiece. Bonus: they’ll eat what they make — and that means zero leftovers.

🎨 6. Handmade Crafts Party

Craft parties are perfect for winter because they combine creativity with warmth (literally). Set up a few tables with safe, age-appropriate craft materials — beads, paint, string, and glue — and let kids make friendship bracelets, holiday ornaments, or DIY snow globes.

Not only do they learn something new, but they also go home with a handmade keepsake from the celebration.
