Planning a holiday party in Oklahoma City, Norman, or Tulsa? 🎅 Whether it’s for your company, family, or a big group of friends, you want something that makes people actually remember the night. Food and drinks are a given. But what’s the real difference between a party people forget by January 2nd… and one they’ll talk about all year? Entertainment.
Here are 7 holiday party entertainment ideas to make your event sparkle:
1. Live Music (Local Bands or Jazz Quartets)
There’s nothing like live music to set the mood. From smooth jazz to holiday carols with a twist, live musicians add energy that Spotify just can’t touch. Bonus points if you hire a local Oklahoma band and keep the hometown vibe strong.
2. Photo Booths with Props
Everyone loves a goofy Santa hat and instant printouts. Photo booths aren’t just fun in the moment — they create keepsakes your guests can take home.
3. Interactive Magic & Comedy
Magic has a way of breaking down barriers. A great magician moves from group to group, sparking laughter, amazement, and conversations that last the whole night. The best part? Everyone gets involved, so nobody feels left out. (This is why companies across Oklahoma keep booking magicians — it turns awkward small talk into genuine fun.)
4. Themed Cocktail or Hot Cocoa Bar
Warm up the winter chill with a build-your-own cocoa or cocktail station. Add peppermint stir sticks, whipped cream, or seasonal cocktails with clever names, and suddenly your drinks are part of the entertainment too.
5. Caricature Artists
A classic that works for both small and large parties. Guests walk away with a fun piece of art — and you walk away as the host who thought outside the box.
6. Casino Night Tables
Bring Vegas to Oklahoma City! Casino tables (with play money or chips) create instant engagement and excitement. Guests love a little friendly competition.
7. Holiday Karaoke
Sure, you may regret “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” on repeat — but your guests will never forget it. Add prizes for “Best Holiday Spirit” or “Worst Singer Wins.”
🎁 Final Thought:
At the end of the day, the best holiday entertainment combines fun, interaction, and shared memories.
And if you’re looking for something that checks all those boxes, that’s exactly what I do. I’m John Shack, Oklahoma’s comedy magician, and I help turn holiday parties into the kind of nights people can’t stop talking about.
