Many people associate fancy dress costumes with Hallowe'en, themed parties, or stag and hen dos, but there are many more opportunities throughout the year to dress up in fun and creative fancy dress costumes – one of which happens to be just around the corner.
Indeed, Christmas is the perfect time to dress up in costume, whether you're planning to go to a party, or simply want to entertain the kids with a Santa suit. What's more, the options are endless when it comes to choosing a fun and festive Christmas costume - whether you want to go down a traditional route or come up with something more original.
Some of the most popular ideas for Christmas costumes include: Santa Claus, Mrs Claus, Santa's elves, angels, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa's reindeer - particularly Rudolph.
In recent years, even these traditional costumes have taken on a more modern spin - for instance, turning the traditional, bearded Santa suit for men into a short, sexy Santa dress for women. No matter how you want to wear costumes of traditional Christmas characters, you're sure to radiate with Christmas spirit at any holiday event this year.
However, if you're someone who likes to veer away from the traditional and get a bit more creative with your costumes, there are many more fun costume ideas to choose from. Why not, for instance, dress up as a gingerbread man, a striped candy cane or a nutcracker? Or perhaps you could go as a glass of milk or a plate of cookies, put out for Santa on Christmas Eve?
Other creative ideas include going as mistletoe, an ornament, a snowflake, or even dressing up as a Christmas tree and covering your shoes with wrapped presents for extra effect.
If you just want to look more festive, you could always wrap battery-operated Christmas lights around yourself, no matter what type of costume you happen to be wearing. When it comes to original Christmas costume ideas, the possibilities are virtually endless – so apply some creativity and show up at your fancy dress Christmas parties in original holiday style.
Every holiday event can be spruced up with fancy dress. So, start thinking about Christmas costumes early this year, giving yourself enough time to get creative with ideas. If you're throwing a Christmas party yourself, consider making it fancy dress – it's sure to make the party atmosphere all the more festive.
