This year, break the ice with karaoke!

Games like musical chairs, bingo, white elephant and limbo are great games to liven up Christmas Eve and other holiday parties. In recent years, karaoke has become a popular addition to the lineup of fun. Are you hosting a holiday party and looking for a fresh way to keep your guests entertained?

Organize a karaoke night.

Equipment

Whether you rent a private room or prefer to sing and dance in the comfort of your own home, you’ll need essential equipment, including:

• At least two good-quality microphones

• A screen or projector to display the lyrics

• A stereo or speakers

• A computer, tablet or smartphone

• Karaoke software, platform or app

To create the ultimate karaoke atmosphere, add fun lights, a smoke machine and a disco ball. If you plan to host karaoke nights regularly, consider purchasing equipment. Otherwise, you can rent professional equipment from a specialty company.

Playlist

Many karaoke systems allow singers to make special requests. However, some guests might need a bit of inspiration. Help them out by creating a playlist of well-known songs, including some holiday classics.

Rules

Before the party begins, explain the rules to your guests to avoid misunderstandings and disappointment. For example, set a limit of three songs per person and establish a rotation system.

Finally, don’t forget to provide both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options, as well as snacks, like chips and appetizers. Merry Christmas and enjoy your karaoke night!
