Frosty-inspired Party Decorations and Favors

Setting the scene is just as fun and easy. Check out these ideas for decorating in festive Frosty style, and then giving out themed favors, too.

It starts with table settings (1) that Frosty would love, like this one from A Purdy Little House. Winter-white table linens brightened with red plates, napkins, and candleholders. And warmed up with a cozy plaid throw and black “snowman hats” overhead with matching plaid trim.

For adorable centerpieces, assemble this snowglobe-style Frosty the Snowman (2) using this tutorial from An Alli Event. Two bubble ball vases are filled with mini ornaments and Epsom salt “snow.”

Then, on to party games! You could include a surprise Frosty the Snowman piñata (3 – available on Amazon), along with other indoor snow-themed activities.

And finally, the party favors. Something edible and easy, like Frosty’s Popcorn (4) found on Party Pinching, in clever snowman-face cups. Or a sure-hit with kids, Frosty the Snowman Slime Jars (5) that you can DIY with Elmer’s Frosty Slime Kit and add the cutest snowman features, thanks to The Celebration Shoppe. Or maybe packs of “Snowman Soup” (6) like these we found on So Easy Being Green—that each hold a packet of hot cocoa, a candy cane, and marshmallows!
