\n

Sometimes all the Christmas cheer around this time of year can be a bit much. And while holiday get-togethers are great in their own way, we think that all you Grinches and Scrooges out there deserve a fun party, too! So turn off that Christmas music and toss the eggnog. It’s time for the ultimate anti-holiday party!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Christmas Curmudgeon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you dread the typical holiday party each year, we’re guessing you have a bit of a curmudgeon\u00a0side. In that case, why not host an anti-Christmas party that includes a\u00a0roast? No, not the Roast Beast (although that menu item would fit perfectly into a Grinch Christmas party theme). We’re talking about a Comedy Central Roast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A roast master<\/a> can work with you to put together a hilarious and grumpy show that will rival Lisa Lampanelli’s best insults. Whether you want to roast yourself or someone else, there’s no better way to end the year on an anti-holiday note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 2. Not-Safe-For-Christmas Comedian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s face it, the whole Christmas thing is chock-full of innocence. From jolly old St. Nick to newborn baby Jesus to happy little elves. If you’re trying to throw an anti-holiday party, ignore all that! A stand-up comedian<\/a> who specializes in some darker material is a great way to forget about all those delicate parts of a traditional holiday party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather your like-minded pals, book a bartender<\/a> to keep the anti-holiday spirits flowing, and indulge in some R-rated laughs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Little Drummer Boycott<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you see red when “Frosty the Snowman” plays for the fifteenth time on your drive home? Does the sound of “Jingle Bells” make you want to rip down your neighbor’s twinkle lights? Your anti-holiday party should definitely not<\/em> include traditional Christmas carols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, book a lively party band<\/a> or a house music DJ<\/a> to play tunes that don’t feature xylophones or triangles. Find everything from 80s tribute bands to karaoke DJs and rock the night away \u2014 just not around a Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Holiday Movie Heckling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the time of year when you can watch “A Christmas Story” for 24 hours straight on cable television. But that’s a little ridiculous. So for your anti-holiday party, we suggest embracing the Christmas movie marathons and getting into the heckling spirit! Set up a movie screen<\/a> and play your favorite love-to-hate-it holiday movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pass out airplane bottles as party favors and indulge in a fun drinking game! And no shushing during this movie \u2014 the point is to yell at all those silly holiday\u00a0characters and their outlandish predicaments. “Really, Kevin? Does aftershave burn that<\/em> badly?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 5. Visit from Krampus Claus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure, everyone seems to love Santa. But no one can be that jolly, right? Forget Kris Kringle. Krampus is the only costumed character<\/a> who should be making an appearance at your anti-Christmas party! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Austro-Bavarian lore, Krampus is a half-goat, half-demon who punishes all the bad children during the holiday season. Surprise your guests with a terrifying visit from Krampus! You can buy a mask<\/a> and do it yourself, or hire a pro<\/a> to really freak people out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it, party rebels. From comedians to live music to quirky characters, GigSalad has your back for planning the ultimate anti-Christmas parties. Forget the ugly sweater parties and silly gift exchanges. Let’s break free from tradition and make your holiday bash less festive but still unforgettable. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n
