"Elegant holiday cocktail reception. Lots of candles and LED lights. Winter Wonderland with a hint of silver."
—Shanniki Green, owner, Heavenly Events, Columbia, Virginia

"I would like to do a classic toy holiday party. All the toys that remind you of Christmas: Radio Flyers, Flexible Flyers, stuffed teddy bears, and maybe a few toys from the Misfit island."
—James Dale, senior director of catering, Eastern division, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, New York

"Disco Christmas."
—JJ Francis, floral manager, Savor at the Moscone Center, San Francisco

"'Around the world' for a New Year's party. Create different stations representing different countries and celebrate New Year's each hour in that country's traditions, drinks, and food. It would be such a fun holiday party with great flow and excitement. A New Year's kiss, hug, or yell every hour—what's not to love?"
—Steph Bree, owner, Blonde & Brunette Events, La Habra, California

"I always thought it would be fun to have a 'Grinch Who Stole Christmas' theme. It's somewhat nostalgic and the decor could be fun and allow for a lot of creativity."
—Kristie Braley, meeting and event manager, Experient, Cleveland
