Sending guests home with a little party favor is the perfect way to make your kids' Christmas party extra special. Thoughtful, useful, and fun, party favors remind kids of the good times they had and extend the holiday cheer. Here are some Christmas party favor ideas that kids will actually use and love—including our DIY Snow Globe Craft Kits, which double as both a party activity and a keepsake!
1. DIY Snow Globe Kits
Our DIY Snow Globe Craft Kits make an ideal party favor that’s not only memorable but also creative. Kids will love assembling their own snow globes at the party and then taking them home to admire all season long. These snow globes can easily fit into any holiday theme, making them a perfect favor for your winter wonderland or Santa’s workshop-style celebration.

2. Mini Hot Chocolate Kits
Send kids home with their own mini hot chocolate kits! Use small cellophane bags or mason jars and fill them with hot chocolate mix, mini marshmallows, and crushed candy canes. It’s a cozy, delicious favor that’s perfect for chilly winter nights and gives families something to enjoy together after the party.
3. Holiday-Themed Stickers and Coloring Books
Holiday-themed stickers and mini coloring books make for simple, fun, and inexpensive favors. They’re great for quiet activities during holiday breaks and fit nicely in a small gift bag. Look for festive characters like snowmen, reindeer, and Santa to keep the holiday spirit going.
4. Christmas Tree Seedlings or Plant Kits
For something unique, consider small plant kits or tree seedlings that kids can plant and watch grow. These tiny trees are a fun eco-friendly option, and they’ll grow right along with your young guests, adding a touch of nature and responsibility to their lives.

5. Personalized Ornaments
Provide each child with a mini Christmas ornament that they can decorate themselves. Add their names, festive designs, or even a small photo from the party if possible. Personalized ornaments are a wonderful keepsake that kids can cherish and hang on their tree every year.
6. DIY Cookie Kits
Set up little cookie kits for kids to take home! Include a cookie cutter, pre-made dough, sprinkles, and frosting in a small box or bag. This lets kids continue the holiday fun at home and gives parents a no-fuss baking activity to enjoy with their little ones.
