How to hold an artificial Christmas party at home with little money?

How many days before Christmas. How to cook a decent Christmas dinner at home when time and energy are limited?

Today, I want to share with you: how to have a simple Christmas carnival with atmosphere in the car faster ~ ~

I divide the party into two parts: a festive dining environment and pleasant food?

Let's talk about the layout of the Christmas atmosphere:

Do I have to buy a Christmas tree for Christmas?

Many people think that Christmas is a Christmas tree full of decorations and bright red and green Christmas decorations.

For most people, this seasonal decoration is not suitable. If you are not careful, it will be exaggerated, and the decorations after the holiday (especially the Christmas tree) will be difficult to store. ...

In fact, the festive feeling of Christmas does not have to be so deliberate. We can try to decorate the beautiful and warm atmosphere of the festival through some daily necessities.

Because the party at home will be on the dining table most of the time, the highlight of the arrangement is also the dining table. As long as you create a beautiful dining atmosphere, it's ok!

Here is a simple atmosphere layout formula: holiday decorations+lights+smells+music = holiday atmosphere.

I have a general layout idea. I'll share with you how to arrange the Christmas table ~ with vegetables ~

According to the layout of the Christmas tree, a large area of green and a small amount of red are the main colors. So all you have to do is find out the vegetables or leaves that look a bit like pine trees, and then add small red fruits, and the material preparation will be more than half completed!

This time I found fennel, star anise and raspberry as the main ingredients ~

In order to have more atmosphere, I temporarily bought a black office suede tablecloth to cover the original table.

After covering the tablecloth, we began to set the table.

For a larger dining table, it can be directly arranged on the central axis of the dining table. First cut off the stems of fennel and spread the leaves on the center line of the table in a staggered way. ...

Then put star anise and raspberry, because they are decorations, so you don't need a lot. Just tidy it up in bits and pieces ~

The layout of the dining table is basically completed. You can add star lights or light candles to enhance the overall atmosphere ~

For some smaller dining tables, if you follow the above layout, there may not be enough space to put dishes. So for a small dining table, just take two candles and arrange them around the candlestick.

The idea is still the same as above, but in a different way ~

Next is the meal preparation part ~

Because it is a party, the preparation of food can be more casual and simple, and it doesn't need to be too grand.

Because it is a Christmas party to prepare lazy bags, most of the food this time is helped by takeout and fast food?

(well done, take-out can be decent ~)

Here are the specific cooking steps:

Appetizer-mustard shrimp tacos

Need to prepare: Xerox bucket cucumber slices, sugar-free yogurt, mustard, shrimp.

1, stir-fry the chilled shrimps.

2. Squeeze a small amount of mustard into yogurt and mix well.

3. Take out a nice plate, put potato chips, a spoonful of flavored yogurt and a shrimp.

Tang-convenience store western restaurant thick soup

2. Set the plate after heating, and finish!

Staple food-spaghetti with meat sauce

Need to prepare: spaghetti, any kind of spaghetti sauce.

1, when the pasta is cooked, put it aside to cool.

2. Pour a little oil into the pot and heat the noodle sauce.

3. Add the cooked spaghetti and stir well!

Salad-orange beef salad

Need to prepare: oranges, thin steak, chilled shrimp, sugar-free yogurt, daily nuts, salad vegetables.

1. Break oranges into small pieces, stir-fry beef and cut into small pieces, stir-fry shrimps and sprinkle with spices.

2. Take out the salad bowl and put in clean salad vegetables, processed oranges, beef and shrimp.

3. Sprinkle the daily nut salad to finish! (Stir yogurt before eating, etc. )

Snacks-roast chicken wings, mashed potatoes

Need to be prepared: takeaway app, nice plate.

1. For convenience, I ordered the New Orleans chicken wings and mashed potatoes from KFC directly.

2. When the takeaway arrives, unpack it, and then put it on the plate a little before eating.

Wine-homemade plum sparkling wine

It may be too late to buy another bottle of good wine at this time. It is better to buy materials directly at the convenience store and mix drinks for the party. Alcohol content should not be too high ~

So teach you to mix an ultra-simple sparkling wine.

Need to prepare: Qiao Yamei wine? Paris paopaoshui

1, pour a small amount of plum wine into the cup.

2. Pour in foaming water and stir well.

3. Plum sparkling wine is finished!

Champagne glasses will be more atmospheric. If there is no champagne glass, the ordinary glass is fine ~

Dessert-Strawberry Cake Roll

Dessert is too difficult, just buy cupcakes at the cake shop and set the plate ~

At this point, the main contents of the Christmas carnival are basically ready. At this time, the dishes are all served, ready to set the table!

Wait, I forgot to mention the lighting arrangement. For a gathering with atmosphere, lighting is indispensable. ...

The easiest way to create a lighting atmosphere is to turn off the ceiling lamp and use a floor lamp, desk lamp or candle to light the slightly dim light, which is more atmospheric ~

Finally, give two bonus tips, namely smell and music!

You can light an aromatherapy candle. I think flowers are very fragrant ~

Music is not necessarily Christmas music. I think Christmas Eve is very suitable for listening to jazz.

Recommend two albums with winter flavor to everyone?

Here, everything is ready, you can start the party and enjoy the Christmas party with your friends ~

This is the Christmas lazy gift package to share with you this time. In fact, it is not difficult to hold a family party, as long as you put some thought into it. ....

While there are still a few days before Christmas, invite some friends over for the holidays! ~~
