Holiday party theme
Plan a holiday party theme with a two-bowl frozen drink machine: mocha and lime bowls, a peppermint rim, a kids vanilla slushie, food, games, and printables.
A holiday party theme gets festive with a frozen drink machine pouring Mocha Cappuccino and Lime Margarita, rimmed with Peppermint Cocktail Sugar. Fill one bowl with Vanilla, alcohol-free, and the kids get a peppermint rimmed snowball slushie.
Dates to know
Our machines are booked out Nov 21 to Dec 3, 2026. Book December holiday parties for Dec 4 or later, and book early, because December weekends fill fast. Early November dates (Nov 3 to 20) work well for an early holiday party or Friendsgiving.
The look
Pick one of these holiday styles:
| Style | Colors | Decor ideas |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Christmas | Red, green, gold | Garland, ornaments, plaid runners |
| Winter wonderland | White, silver, ice blue | Paper snowflakes, faux snow, white lights |
| Texas holiday | Red, green, burlap | Boots with poinsettias, string lights, a lit star |
| Festival of lights | Blue, silver, gold | Candles, lanterns, metallic accents |
Wrap the machine cart in garland (keep it clear of the outlet and vents) and hang a "Holiday cheer" sign above it.
The two bowls
| Option | Bowl 1 | Bowl 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Cozy classic | Mocha Cappuccino | Lime Margarita |
| Red and green | Strawberry Margarita | Lime Margarita |
| Dessert drinks | Mocha Cappuccino | Orange Dreamsicle |
| Bubbly toast | Frosé | Peach Bellini |
See our Christmas party frozen drinks guide for more ideas.
Kids slushie bowl
Every mix is alcohol-free until you add alcohol. Vanilla with a peppermint rim makes a snowball slushie, and Cherry or Green Sour Apple gives a red or green choice. Keep one bowl for kids, or rent a second machine so the kids get two flavors, and label every bowl.
Rim and garnish
- Peppermint Cocktail Sugar on Mocha Cappuccino and Vanilla
- Chocolate Cocktail Sugar on Strawberry Margarita or kids cups
- Lime Margarita Salt on Lime Margarita
Garnish with mini candy canes, crushed peppermint, or a lime wheel.
Food ideas
- A cheese board shaped like a wreath
- Tamales, queso, and a taco bar for a Texas spread
- Glazed ham or brisket sliders
- Christmas cookies and a cookie decorating station
- Hot chocolate for guests who want something warm
Games and activities
- White elephant gift swap: set a simple gift rule.
- Ugly sweater contest: tackiest, brightest, and best homemade.
- Holiday trivia: movies, songs, and traditions.
- Cookie decorating: kids and adults both love it.
- Name that carol: play a few seconds and guess the song.
Printables
Make a festive invitation on our party invite page. Then print:
- Bowl labels: "Holiday cheer (21 and up)" and "Snowball slushie"

Planning note
One machine serves up to 100 guests, and one mix serves about 20. We set up 2 to 3 hours before the party and need a standard 110 volt outlet on its own circuit. Holiday lights can load a circuit, so keep the machine on an outlet that isn't shared with decorations. Book online at least 2 days ahead.
