About this resource

Thriftmas Party: a Christmas Event Guide for Youth Ministry EVENT CATEGORY: Christmas SPIRITUAL HABIT: Spend Time with Others AGE GROUP: Students For a well-rounded and holistic approach to your ministry events, there are 10 different kinds of events we recommend including in your annual event strategy. The category for this event is a CHRISTMAS EVENT. This type of event is focused on celebrating together! Through fun, games, and sharing the Christmas story, kids and teenagers practice the spiritual habit of spending time with others. It's beginning to look a lot like great deals, hidden treasures, and a whole lot of Christmas fun. The Thriftmas Party is all about discovering the magic of thrift stores while embracing creativity, generosity, and a little friendly competition. At this event, teenagers will hunt for unique thrifted items, restore and repurpose their finds, and participate in hilarious gift-swapping challenges. But it's not just about the fun-Thriftmas is also an opportunity to give back by supporting local thrift stores that serve and empower your community. Whether they're transforming the weirdest item on the shelf into a masterpiece or finding the perfect quirky holiday outfit, teenagers will have a blast making memories, getting creative, and celebrating the season in a new (even if lightly used) way. All our events are built to be flexible! You can customize this event to your ministry's needs, but here's how we recommend using this one: This fun event is great for small groups and outreach. It can be done at church or offsite and includes team games, all-play games, crafts, and more!
