Happy After-Thanksgiving, everyone! I was just wondering if any of you do anything fun/different to jazz up your December shows? I know about the Homemade for the Holidays theme--I was thinking about Holiday trivia, some short little game, just something to set these shows apart. I'm planning on wearing a holiday apron (when I find one!), and I was thinking about asking trivia questions and throwing out kisses for the answers, but that's all I've come up with so far. Any great ideas?--Lisa:party:
 
I love pajama parties this time of year. I have done one the past two years and my host for Tuesday is having one. I am going to give a prize for the most comfy pajamas and a prize for the 'I can't believe you are wearing those' pajamas.

We will make a chocolate dessert and I will bring hot chocolate. It is a fun party to work and yes, I wear pajamas also.
 
I make mine less demo-centric and have more of an open house feel with the Homemade for the Holidays recipes. Set up several stations and let guests make the recipes as they wish. I do the pretzel wreaths from last year, have a few folks help with the Cranberry Bark from last year and then do the brownie lollipops.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some fun themes for holiday shows?

Consider themes like "Holiday Baking Extravaganza," "Festive Appetizers," or "Gifts from the Kitchen." Each theme can guide your product selection and demonstrations, making the event more engaging and focused.

How can I incorporate interactive activities into my holiday shows?

Include hands-on cooking demonstrations where guests can participate, or set up a "make-and-take" station where they can create their own holiday treats. This encourages engagement and makes the experience memorable.

What types of holiday recipes should I showcase?

Focus on quick and easy recipes that are perfect for holiday gatherings, such as appetizers, desserts, or festive drinks. Highlight recipes that utilize Pampered Chef products to demonstrate their effectiveness and versatility.

How can I create a festive atmosphere at my holiday shows?

Decorate your space with holiday lights, ornaments, and themed table settings. Play holiday music in the background and offer seasonal refreshments to create a warm and inviting environment for your guests.

What incentives can I offer to encourage sales during holiday shows?

Consider offering special holiday discounts, bundle deals, or exclusive products available only at the show. You can also run a raffle for attendees who make a purchase, adding an element of excitement and encouraging sales.
