Holiday gatherings are truly what make this time of year so special. Seeing all the people you know and love, enjoying time with family and friends, and exchanging gifts are all  a part of the magic. However, with so many parties and only a few weekends in December, it can be difficult to find time to host a little gathering of your own. But who says you can’t shake up the usual timetable and host your soiree fashionably late in January? Here are a few reasons to consider this new trend:

Social Calendars

If you’ve been trying to find an evening when you can host a holiday soiree, it can be difficult to work around everyone’s busy schedules in December. But once the new year rolls around, things calm down significantly, so why not take advantage of everyone’s lighter social calendars and plan a party after the New Year instead?

Elevated Food Options

It’s pretty common to serve a few staple dishes around the holidays. By hosting your gathering in January, you can liven up the menu with anything you please! Include a few seasonal dishes, and then get creative with other options. Your guests will love you for it and welcome the change of pace.

Extending the Good Mood

Why stop celebrating after the new year begins? Hosting your event in January gives you the perfect  excuse to extend the excitement of holiday cheer into the new year. People will be more relaxed, their holiday travels will be done, and they will likely welcome a January event with open arms.

Endless Options

Since most people will be hosting their holiday parties in December, the venue or event planner of your choice might already be booked then. But if you wait until after the new year,  you have a much better chance of securing exactly what you want!
