Christmas gay party
Home / gay topics / Christmas gay party
Create a chaotic massive group text that people will absolutely immediately mute and tell everyone to get their asses over to yours for a sexy, fun, and GAY holiday party.
Gifts not required, but if you do want to add a gift element, I was recently introduced to the concept of the “favorite things” gift exchange where people bring two of the same item and it has to be something they also own and love and then do a white elephant style exchange where everyone ends up with two things they’ll actually want because it’s good shit their friends love.
Having a chosen family is especially important to LGBTQ+ people, who may experience discrimination from their biological family. I ended up with a really good candle and a foot massager I use all the time. Add in New Year’s Eve drama and unpredictable winter weather, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
How do you pick the best LGBTQ+ Christmas destination?

You can use a good quality olive oil instead of butter if you’re skipping the dairy, and gluten free crackers work, too!
Honestly, they taste pretty good by themselves, but you can put out whatever cheese you might have on hand to have with them or have them with fruit jam.
“Snow” Balls (they’re meat balls)
I don’t know why my friends are nostalgic for suburban dinner parties thrown by moms in the 90s, but every time I show up to a function with what are essentially plain ol’ crockpot meatballs in sweet n spicy sauce, people lose their shit!

It’s exhausting and puts a damper on Christmas celebrations, but this doesn’t have to be the case this year!
If your family home isn’t the best place to celebrate Christmas, maybe it’s time to celebrate with your chosen family. And if the cold bites a little too hard, retreat to one of the city’s fabulous gay saunas to warm up and unwind.
But if you want more of a cozy vibe than a rambunctious theater gay vibe, you could always just watch Happiest Season or any number of lesbian holiday films. Should I do more of it? While we were there, we heard whispers about something truly unique: Christmas in the historic Portuguese Settlement of Malacca (Melaka). While you’re there, don’t forget to check out their other holiday-themed attractions such as their permanent Christmas tree and nativity scene!
