Deck the Halls with AI
How to Fa La La La La Your Holid-AI-s
“It’s a beaut, Clark, it’s a beaut!”
If you know, you know. And if you don’t, let’s just say that quote applies perfectly to this issue’s feature: MY AI Partner and your new holiday sidekick, ChatGPT. Yes, I said partner. Move over, Google. You had your time. This year, we’re getting creative and jingle-bell brilliant with ChatGPT, the ultimate brainiac elf ready to help you sleigh your holiday plans.
Here’s the deal: ever find yourself stuck with questions like:
“What the heck do I feed 14 people that won’t leave me crying in a kitchen corner like Kevin’s mom in ‘Home Alone’?”
“What game will entertain the toddlers, grandparents, AND my second cousin who always mysteriously wins everything?”
“How do I throw a Friendsmas party without just serving burnt turkey and canned cranberry sauce?”
Well, friends, “every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings,” and ChatGPT is here to save the day before you hear the dreaded “Mom, I’m boooored” echoing through your halls. Want new traditions? Fresh game ideas? Recipe brilliance that doesn’t involve Googling “easy holiday potluck dish” for the tenth time? Just ask ChatGPT!
Think of it as your holiday consultant with a sense of humor (and no judgment). It’s like Buddy the Elf in AI form—endlessly cheerful and surprisingly helpful when you say things like, “Help me plan the perfect holiday scavenger hunt!” or “Give me a cocktail recipe that pairs with pie and regret-free decisions.”
So buckle up, grab your cocoa (or something stronger), and get ready to see how beautifully easy and outrageously fun tapping into ChatGPT can be this season. After all, “the best way to spread holiday cheer is asking ChatGPT for ideas, my dear!”
Let’s jingle and mingle with tech magic that’s almost as iconic as Ralphie’s Red Ryder BB Gun. You’ll thank me later. This entire blog below was written with ChatGPT.
Warm Wishes And Big Belly Laughs, 🎄✨

Don’t save those holiday dishes for the next generation. Tis the season for special holiday moments. So, break ‘em out and if they actually break - guess what - it’s okay - you can always find more in second-hand shops or put them on next year’s Christmas Wish List!
Get Closer this Christmas
I asked Chat GPT to create an image of Cola and I having holiday cocktails in our studio. It turned us into beautiful sexpots. I mean, a girl can dream right?

I wrote this into Chat GPT:
Hey there! Angie here, are you ready to help me come up with some cool and creative ideas for the holidays? Let's start with my first entertainment adventure. I will ask for your help on all aspects from table settings, decor, games, gifting ideas, etc, but, to start, I would love for you to help me come up with a holiday meal idea from appetizers to a main course to dessert and some wonderful wines and holiday cocktail ideas. This is for a holiday gathering for 16 adults. Let's avoid traditional things like turkey or ham and I want it easy to serve so I can prepare most of it ahead of time and enjoy my time with my guests

Fondue You Love
I wrote this into Chat GPT:
This is great! Can you also give me an idea of how we could do another smaller gather for 6 people and we can create a fondue experience? I think this would be a really fun way to share laughter and fun and delicious foods along with some holiday cocktails that would work well with it!
Chat GPT’s Response:
A fondue night for six is such a fantastic idea for an intimate holiday gathering! It’s interactive, cozy, and a guaranteed recipe for laughter and connection. Here’s how we can pull it together with delicious fondue ideas, accompaniments, and festive cocktails to match.
🎉 Holiday Fondue Night for Six 🎉
The Fondue Setup
Cheese Fondue Station
Classic Swiss Cheese Fondue: Gruyère and Emmental melted with white wine, garlic, and a hint of nutmeg.
Dippers:
Crusty baguette chunks, sourdough, pretzel bites
Steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and baby potatoes
Apple slices, pears, and grapes for a sweet twist
Cured meats like prosciutto or salami
Broth Fondue Station (Savory)
Herbed Vegetable Broth: A lighter option for cooking bite-sized pieces of meat, seafood, and veggies.
Dippers:
Marinated beef tenderloin cubes, shrimp, and chicken
Mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers
Variety of dipping sauces: garlic aioli, spicy sriracha mayo, chimichurri, and teriyaki
Chocolate Fondue Station
Decadent Dark Chocolate Ganache: Melted dark chocolate with a splash of cream and a hint of vanilla or peppermint schnapps.
Dippers:
Strawberries, pineapple chunks, and bananas
Marshmallows, brownie bites, pound cake, and cookies
Pretzels for a salty-sweet combo
Cocktail Pairings 🍸
Cheese Fondue Pairing:
Holiday Sangria: A festive mix of red wine, brandy, cranberry juice, orange slices, and a sprig of rosemary. It complements the rich, salty cheese beautifully.
Broth Fondue Pairing:
Rosemary Gin Fizz: Gin, rosemary simple syrup, lemon juice, and a splash of sparkling water. Light and refreshing to balance the savory broth flavors.
Chocolate Fondue Pairing:
Peppermint White Russian: Vodka, Kahlúa, cream, and a splash of peppermint schnapps, garnished with crushed candy canes. Decadent and dessert-like!
Non-Alcoholic Option:
A festive Sparkling Cranberry Mocktail: Cranberry juice, sparkling water, and a sprig of mint with a sugared cranberry garnish.
Table Setting and Atmosphere
Fondue Pots: Arrange 2-3 pots (one for cheese, one for broth, one for chocolate) in the center of a round or rectangular table with plenty of room for dippers.
Holiday Decor: Use a cozy plaid tablecloth or runner, small candles in mason jars, and festive greenery or mini ornaments.
Personal Touch: Provide each guest with their own fondue fork and small dipping plates. Tie a little name tag around each fork with festive ribbon for fun.
Bonus: Fondue Fun Activities
Fondue Rules: If someone drops their dipper in the pot, they have to:
Sing a holiday song verse (think Jingle Bells).
Share a funny holiday memory.
Holiday Trivia: Prepare a few questions about holiday movies, songs, and traditions to keep the conversation and laughs flowing.
Pro-Tips for a Smooth Night
Prep all the dippers and ingredients beforehand. Arrange everything on platters or trays, covered and ready to go.
Preheat the fondue pots before guests arrive, so everything is melty and warm.
Keep extra fondue forks handy—because double-dipping accidents will happen!
This gathering is all about warmth, connection, and good food. Let me know if you need help styling the table or crafting the perfect playlist to pair with this laughter-filled evening! 🪵✨
You Better Watch Out - The Kiddos Need to Jingle Too!
I wrote this into Chat GPT:
This is great - thank you! Now, let's move on, can you give me some ideas for kids activities for children that are aged 3 - 11? What are some cool activities or games to play that will be enjoyable for these kids. Perhaps even a few crafts.
Chat GPT’s Response:
Here are some fun, creative, and festive activities to entertain kids aged 3-11 during the holidays. I’ve included a mix of games, crafts, and interactive fun to keep all ages engaged, happy, and maybe even a little glitter-covered (in the best way). 🎨✨
🎲 Holiday Games for Ages 3-11
1. Snowball Toss
What You Need: White pom-poms (or crumpled paper balls), buckets or baskets labeled with points (10, 20, 50).
How to Play: Kids toss the “snowballs” into the buckets from a distance. Older kids can stand further back for a challenge. The child with the most points wins!
Make it Festive: Use Christmas-themed buckets or decorate with tinsel.
2. Holiday Freeze Dance
What You Need: A holiday playlist with upbeat songs like Jingle Bell Rock or Frosty the Snowman.
How to Play: Kids dance to the music and must freeze when the music stops. If they move, they’re “out” (or just giggle and start again).
Pro Tip: Add fun twists like “freeze in a snowman pose” or “dance like a reindeer.”
3. Pin the Nose on the Snowman
What You Need: A large paper snowman, cut-out orange paper “carrot noses,” and a blindfold.
How to Play: A holiday spin on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Blindfold the kids, spin them gently, and see who can stick the nose closest to the snowman’s face.
4. Holiday Scavenger Hunt
What You Need: A list of festive items hidden around the room or house (e.g., candy canes, mini snowmen, ornaments).
How to Play: Hand out lists and little baskets. Kids race to find the hidden treasures. For older kids, add riddles or clues!
Crafty Twist: Let them decorate their “hunt” bags with stickers and markers first.
5. Build a Marshmallow Snowman Relay
What You Need: Large marshmallows, pretzel sticks, candy pieces (for eyes/buttons), and icing.
How to Play: Teams race to “build” snowmen using the materials. First team to finish wins. It’s hilarious, hands-on, and snackable!
🎨 Craft Ideas for Ages 3-11
1. DIY Ornament Decorating
What You Need: Clear plastic or wooden ornaments, paint, glitter, pom-poms, ribbons, and stickers.
How to Do It: Kids create their own holiday ornaments by painting and adding festive decorations. This is a great keepsake for parents!
2. Pine Cone Christmas Trees
What You Need: Large pine cones, green paint, glue, sequins, pom-poms, and tiny star stickers.
How to Do It: Kids paint pine cones green, then glue on sequins and pom-poms as ornaments. Add a star on top for the final touch.
3. Paper Plate Reindeer Masks
What You Need: Paper plates, brown paint, googly eyes, red pom-poms, and pipe cleaners (for antlers).
How to Do It: Kids paint the plates brown, glue on the eyes and red nose, and attach pipe cleaners as antlers. Cut eye holes so they can wear their masks for reindeer games!
4. Holiday Handprint Keepsake
What You Need: Craft paper or canvas, paint (red, green, white), and markers.
How to Do It: Kids use handprints to create holiday shapes like reindeer (brown hand with thumb as the head), Christmas trees, or snowmen. Write the date for a keepsake gift.
5. Gingerbread House Decorating Station
What You Need: Pre-made mini gingerbread houses or graham crackers with icing, candies, sprinkles, and edible glitter.
How to Do It: Set up a decorating station where kids can personalize their mini gingerbread houses. Great for all ages and doubles as a snack.
This image was produce on Chat GPT. I just asked for kiddos having fun with snowballs in festive, holiday clothing with a snowman and a Santa in the background - not bad, huh?
🎁 Bonus Activities
1. Reindeer Food Making
What You Need: Oats, sprinkles, edible glitter, and small bags.
How to Do It: Kids mix “magic reindeer food” to sprinkle on the lawn for Santa’s reindeer on Christmas Eve. Add a cute tag with instructions for extra charm!
2. Holiday Movie Fort
What You Need: Blankets, pillows, string lights, and a holiday movie like The Grinch or Elf.
How to Do It: Build a cozy fort, serve popcorn or hot cocoa, and let kids relax with a festive movie.
3. Snowman Slam Game
What You Need: Empty white cups, black marker (to draw snowman faces), and soft balls or rolled-up socks.
How to Play: Stack the cups like a snowman. Kids take turns throwing the “snowballs” to knock them down. Simple and endlessly fun!
These activities will keep kids of all ages entertained, excited, and feeling the holiday magic. Let me know if you’d like me to design an itinerary or supply list for a fun-filled holiday kids’ party! 🎄🎨✨
Adults Only Please
I wrote this into ChatGPT:
Cool Cool! You are on a roll! Now, how about some awesome, funny and ridiculous games for adults only at a Christmas Party. We will have 12 guests, so let's get creative. We have some room for active games, games when seated at a table, funny gift exchange games, trivia or other funny things you can think of.
Chat GPT’s Response:
Let’s crank up the holiday cheer with some hilarious, creative, and slightly ridiculous adult-only Christmas party games! These ideas cover active games, seated fun, gift exchanges, and trivia for 12 guests. Prepare for belly laughs, some light competition, and memories that’ll last well into the New Year.
🎉 Active & Laugh-Out-Loud Games
1. Christmas Carol Lip Sync Battle
How It Works: Guests pick a classic or wacky Christmas song (e.g., “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”). They get 2 minutes to prep, then perform an epic lip-sync battle for everyone. Bonus points for props, over-the-top dance moves, and commitment!
Why It’s Fun: Watching Uncle Steve mime Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” is pure gold.
2. Human Christmas Tree Wrapping Contest
How It Works: Split into teams of 3 or 4. Each team has 3 minutes to “decorate” one person as a Christmas tree using supplies like green crepe paper, tinsel, bows, ornaments (non-breakable!), and a star for the top.
Supplies: Crepe paper, garland, tape, bows, and star headbands.
Why It’s Fun: Watching adults transform into ridiculous human trees never gets old. Judge categories: Most Festive, Most Ridiculous, and Most Likely to Scare Santa.
3. Tipsy Reindeer Ring Toss
How It Works: One guest dons a reindeer headband with antlers. The other guests take turns tossing rings (use glow rings or pool rings) onto the antlers. Add a holiday twist: drink a sip of eggnog or cocktail for each missed toss.
Supplies: Inflatable reindeer antler headband, rings.
Why It’s Fun: It’s part game, part Instagram gold.
4. “Santa Says” (A Naughty Twist on Simon Says)
How It Works: Classic Simon Says, but with “Santa Says.” Add adult-themed prompts like “Santa says kiss your elbow,” “Santa says pretend to wrap an invisible present,” or “Santa says strike your best reindeer pose.” Anyone who fails to follow directions… takes a sip!
Why It’s Fun: You’ll laugh watching people contort themselves into goofy positions.
🎁 Ridiculously Fun Gift Exchange Ideas
5. Dirty Santa Dice Game
How It Works:
Each guest brings a funny or ridiculous gift (think gag gifts).
Roll a pair of dice on each turn:
🎲 1: Swap gifts with anyone.
🎲 2: Steal the gift you want.
🎲 3: Unwrap a gift.
🎲 4: Everyone passes their gift to the left.
🎲 5: Trade gifts with the host.
🎲 6: Keep your gift and sip your drink.
Why It’s Fun: Chaos ensues when someone really wants that talking Santa mug but keeps losing it!
6. “What’s in the Stocking?” Guessing Game
How It Works: Fill a stocking with random objects (silly and absurd items like a rubber chicken, pickle ornament, or mini whiskey bottle). Each person reaches in blindfolded, feels the object, and writes down their guess. The most correct guesses win!
Why It’s Fun: The confusion of guessing, combined with weird objects, creates hilarious moments.
🎄 Seated Table Games
7. Holiday Mad Libs (Adults Only Edition)
How It Works: Create festive “fill-in-the-blank” stories with holiday themes (e.g., “Santa forgot his ___ (noun) at ___ (place) because he drank too much ___ (beverage).”) Let guests take turns filling in the blanks.
Why It’s Fun: The stories turn progressively ridiculous and hilarious.
8. Left-Right Gift Passing Game
How It Works: Everyone sits in a circle holding a small wrapped gift. Read a holiday story filled with “left” and “right” cues. Guests must pass their gifts in the direction called out.
Funny Gift Version: Use gag gifts or silly dollar store finds.
Why It’s Fun: Everyone loses track of what direction they’re supposed to pass—chaos and laughs guaranteed!
9. Naughty or Nice Holiday Trivia
How It Works: Ask hilarious holiday-themed trivia questions:
“What holiday drink is made with eggs, sugar, and cream?” (Eggnog)
“Which Christmas movie features a kid who booby-traps his house?” (Home Alone)
Add “Naughty” Questions: “What’s the most regifted holiday item ever?” or “What percent of adults believe in Santa after a few cocktails?”
Why It’s Fun: Test your friends’ holiday knowledge while sneaking in some lighthearted fun.
🧦 More Interactive Laughs
10. Christmas Karaoke Roulette
How It Works: Write down funny holiday songs on slips of paper. Guests draw a song, and the rule is they must sing in a funny way. Examples include:
“Jingle Bells” in a deep opera voice
“Rudolph” while pretending to be a reindeer
“Feliz Navidad” as a heavy metal rockstar
Why It’s Fun: It’s hysterical watching someone belt out “Silent Night” in a country twang.
11. Holiday Charades (Holiday Gone Wild Edition)
How It Works: Create holiday-themed charades prompts but with a twist. Ideas include:
Santa getting stuck in a chimney
Drunken elf wrapping presents
Someone sneaking cookies at midnight
Why It’s Fun: The prompts get everyone up, laughing, and acting silly.
12. “Who’s the Ho-Ho-Ho?” Game
How It Works: One guest steps out of the room while another puts on a Santa hat and says “Ho, Ho, Ho” in their best (or worst) Santa voice. The guest re-enters and has to guess who the “Ho-Ho-Ho-er” is.
Why It’s Fun: It’s fun to watch people fake a Santa voice and sneak around pretending to be innocent.
🍸 Holiday Twist
Mix it all up with a signature party drink like "Santa's Spiked Cocoa" or a festive punch bowl. Let each game winner take home a fun, goofy prize like a glittery Santa hat or light-up necklace.
These games are guaranteed to create a mix of hilarious competition, slightly tipsy holiday cheer, and memories your guests will be talking about for years. Let me know if you want printables, rules, or help creating a game list card for the party! 🎄✨🎉
