Now, we've all heard of Galentine's Day…but what about Girlsmas?
Girlsmas is the newest holiday trend that's been all over our FYPs (and probably yours, too)! This holiday is all about celebrating girlhood, embracing your feminity and uplifting your best gals—all with a wintery twist, that is. FYI: You don't need to celebrate Christmas to celebrate Girlsmas. Any and every gal can celebrate Girlsmas!
If you're looking to start up a new and totally adorbs Yuletide tradition, why not throw your very own Girlsmas party? Grab your bsfs and get plannin' because GL's got the *ultimate* guide to throwing the perfect Girlsmas bash coming right up!

One word: Pastels! We love traditional festive decor as much as you do, but Girlsmas is all about embracing *every* shade of pink possible. Instead of silver and golds or red and greens, opt for a pastel palette. Reach for tabecloths, place mats, kitchen utensils and streamers in shades of baby pink and baby blue to rock that girly, pastel aesthetic.
Looking to add a pop of color? Use cherry red ribbon to tie a bow around the stems of your glasses or around your utensils for a coquette yet festive touch.

Girlsmas fashion is all about those cozy yet cutesy vibes. We say wear what you would usually wear to a comfy night-in with your bsfs. That means bring on all the loungewear sets and PJ sets, bb! Bonus points if you reach for sets in pastel shades or festive prints.
Looking to mix n' match your fit? No sweat. Instead of a set, opt for a chunky cable knit sweater (or, a holiday-themed one if you're feeling *extra* holly-jolly), pair with some flared leggings, fuzzy socks and you're all set to ~sleigh~ the night away!

No holiday party is complete without your seasonal snacks and bevvies. We say setting up a mini hot cocoa station is a perf addition to your Girlsmas. You can add that "girly" touch by serving your bevvies in cutesy mugs and topping them with pastel marshmallows, sprinkles and *tons* of whipped cream, ofc! Serve with a platter of your fave holiday cookies or try your hand at baking your own gingerbread-infused desserts if you're entering your baking era.
Feeling more savory than sweet? Why not try building your own pizzas! Just gather up some dough, all of your fave toppings and shape the dough like a snowman or snowflake to add that festive flare.
Activities

You can never have enough fun and games at a party, right? To keep those cozy vibes going, we say arts and crafts are an absolute *must* for your Girlsmas bash. Grab a watercolor paint kit and some canvases from your local art supplies store, and paint up some winter wonderlands. Feeling extra crafty? Snag a mug painting kit and create your own festive mugs! Be sure to have a holiday-themed playlist queued up to make your painting sesh extra merry and bright.
Looking to wind the night down? Throw on a classic holiday flick, grab some cozy throws, pop some popcorn and you've got the perfect end to the perfect party. Happy Girlsmas to all, and to all a good night (or, however the saying goes)!
