The no cups allowed party is one of my favourite trends, so I thought why not make it into a Christmas party too? With the holidays upon us, what better time to turn those Christmas traditions upside down and try something new. This would be an epic theme for a house party, family gathering, friend holiday event, or even the office Christmas party!
Plan a party with alcohol, or make it a family-friendly affair and try a kids no cups allowed party instead. Really, the sky’s the limit… And so is the fun.
If you want regular no cups allowed party ideas that aren’t Christmas themed see my Anything But a Cup Party Ideas post instead. Or try an anything but clothes party instead.
Christmas Themed Ideas for a No Cups Allowed Party
Santa Cookie Jar
Ho ho ho, what does Santa have for you this year? Hint: it’s not cookies inside this cookie jar. Just remember that he is checking his list to see if you’re being naughty or nice at the Christmas no cups allowed party this year.

Fillable Christmas Tree Ornaments
Tip if you plan on using these: make sure they’re water tight! Some of the cheaper ones could leak, which would be a holiday party disaster. I love these as non-cup ideas or for pre-made shots!

Holiday Tins
You can use recycled cookie tins that would normally be used for sewing supplies, or grab a fun set like this one. Either way you get a great beverage container that can be used again to store holiday treats!

Christmas Tree Teapot
Teapots are one of my go-to no cups allowed party ideas, and this Christmas tree themed one is absolutely perfect. The spout is easy to drink from so you don’t have to worry about spilling as much as some of the other options on this list.

Snowman Candle Holders
You get exactly one sip from the looks of things, but the hilarity that comes from filling up a crystal snowman tealight over and over again will be well worth the effort.

Antique Enamel Milk Jug
Maybe you want more of a rustic vibe at the Christmas no cups allowed party? This is actually a vase, but can also be a supersized drink holder if you’re brave enough.

Novelty Salt and Pepper Shakers
Any Christmas salt and pepper shakes will do, but you can really get creative here with all the novelty options that are out there.

Flower Pot
Flower pots are another easy options for a no cups allowed party. Grab one that’s holiday themed and you’ll have a cup that needs no refilling all evening long.

Candy Shot Glasses
OK this is a bit of a cop out, but they’re cool enough that I just had to include these candy cane shot glasses.

Stocking Flask
Speaking of buying things that are meant to drunk out of but are not cups, this stocking flask is another great idea. They’re using it to fill cups, but if you’re a real no cups allowed party gower you’ll drink right from the spigot.
Buy on Amazon
Canning Jars
If you’re not really into this no cups allowed holiday party theme and just want to drink out of something that resembles a cup mason jars are a great choice. Grab some holiday themed ones to get into the festive spirit!
Buy on Amazon
Canning Jars
You could fill these up with your drink of choice or, even better, make some fun shaped Jell-O shots and share them with the other guests.

Christmas Serving Bowl
Go big or go home, right? These serving bowls are normally used for chips and other holiday party snacks, but will now house your very ambitious beverage aspirations.
Buy on Amazon
Reindeer Dip Bowl
This bowl is adorable – you may even want to use it after the party for your classier holiday gatherings. For now, though, it makes a fun no cups allowed idea. Love the antlers!
Buy on Amazon
Serving Platter
There are a lot of options for holiday serving platters but finding one with ridges high enough to hold a drink is the tricky party. This is a great option since there are raised sizes, plus there are plenty of corners that would be easy to drink out of.
Buy on Amazon
Casserole Dish
Is that your grandmother’s famous stuffing inside that casserole dish? No, it’s your drink for a no cups allowed party of course!
Buy on Amazon
Cute Wintery Bowls
This is another great option for something that’s easy to drink out of, festive, reusable, and perfect for a group of friends to match!
Buy on Amazon
Milk for Santa
This this scenario you’re Santa and whatever drink you put inside this vintage stoneware milk carton is the the milk. Do with this what you will; I suggest a costume.
Buy on Amazon
Snowglobe
You obviously can’t use a ready-made snow globe as a cup, but these make your own snow globe kits are perfect for it! I wouldn’t advise putting anything inside, but there’s nothing stopping you from decorating the outside with festive stickers and fake snow!
Buy on Amazon
Soap Dispenser
You can’t beat the soap dispenser as a cup alternative! Painstakingly pump every well-deserved drop of your drink into your mouth with this hilarious, yet festive, no cup idea.
