13 Unique Winter Wonderland Party Ideas For Adults

‘Tis the season for a winter wonderland party! Here are 13 winter wonderland party ideas for adults to make your party everything you dreamed of and more.

1. Rent a winter wonderland venue on Peerspace

For a unique winter wonderland party, you need to book a unique winter wonderland venue! Instead of having your winter wonderland party at your own home, wow your guests by booking out a beautiful Peerspace venue instead. For example, this luxury log cabin in Arizona is a beautiful example of how a stunning winter wonderland party is possible even in the desert heat.

Throughout this article, we’ll provide examples of other fantastic venues across the U.S. you can pair with all our winter wonderland party ideas for adults. By the end of the article, hopefully, you walk away with not only some fabulous ideas but also a fantastic venue for your party!

2. Sip on hot cocktails

For any adult party, it’s always worth considering cocktails. For a unique winter wonderland party, though, you’ll want to consider hot cocktails. Serve Hot Toddies and Hot Buttered Rum in a cute venue like this Rhode Island event space would be ideal!

3. Have a chili cook-off

If your party guests hate coming empty-handed to a party, invite them to bring their best homemade chili! Then, at the party, you can taste-test all the delicious recipes and collectively choose your favorite. This winter wonderland party idea for adults is best ‘served’ in a Peerspace with a large, open concept and gourmet kitchen and dining room space — such as the one featured in this gorgeous Georgia home!

4. Go winter glamping

Take your winter wonderland party to the mountains! A venue like this Connecticut cabin not only offers beautiful winter vibes but plenty of winter wonderland party ideas for adults built in. For example, why not go ice skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or ice fishing during your stay!

5. Try a new winter sport

Never cross-country skied? This party is your chance! Look for Peerspace venues that border on National Forests or have enough private land to tromp around and try a new winter sport! This mountain home in Washington has both. Not only does it come with three acres to try out new activities on, but it is also adjacent to the Wenatchee National Forest with varied terrain that includes a mature forest, fields, and rolling hills.

6. Make s’mores around the fire

The best dessert for a winter wonderland party is s’mores, of course! S’mores are a great way to combine a fun activity with yummy treats and plentiful conversation with friends. Many Peerspaces, like this Stanhope home, come with fire pits and bonfire spaces. In fact, you can even use the “more filters” button on Peerspace and select “fire pit” as an amenity requirement for your Peerspace search!

7. Make a venue cozy with candles

Candles are a decor item that can immediately give a space cozy, winter feels! By adding candles, your winter wonderland space will quickly come to life. For instance, check out how the candles make this New York City event venue pop!

8. Hit the slopes

The true winter wonderland is on the slopes! While booking the entire ski hill for your party may be a bit of a stretch, renting a venue with the ski slopes right outside your front door isn’t! This Washington Peerspace venue is located right at Snoqualmie Pass. Beautiful views and endless party opportunities!

9. Hang out in a giant hot tub

If you are planning a smaller winter wonderland party (or even a more intimate after-party), consider renting a space with a large hot tub! Hot tubbing is a great activity during a winter wonderland party that features cooler temperatures. Even better is a space like this estate in Texas that not only comes with a hot tub but also a swim spa, pool, barbecue area, and game room!

10. Organize a polar plunge

A polar plunge isn’t an activity for the faint of heart! During your party, ask your guests to strip down and run into the freezing cold water. This winter wonderland party idea for adults is ideal if you have rented a Peerspace with lake access or even a large pond like at this Massachusetts lakefront home.

11. Try your hand at ice fishing

Ice fishing is a quintessential winter activity and can be tons of fun to try during a winter wonderland party. This Peerspace luxury home in Pennsylvania offers not only the chance to ice fish with your guests but also to ski, snow tube, or ice skate!

12. Have a winter wonderland photo area

Your winter wonderland party will be so much fun that guests are sure to want mementos of their time celebrating! One of the best ways to do this is through a photo area or photo wall. This can be an area that has a winter-themed background to take photos in front of or something more unique. For example, this home in Massachusetts has a fun ski lift outside that you can take pictures sitting on!
