Celebrate the holiday season lakeside for a magical blend of crisp air, winter landscapes, and cozy ambiance. Here are some key tips for planning a memorable gathering.
- Choose a Cozy Venue
Opt for a lakeside spot with big windows to showcase snowy views. Venues with fireplaces and igloos, like PIER 290 in Lake Geneva, WI, offer warmth and atmosphere. - Set Warm Decor
Embrace winter with greens, whites, and metallics, plus cozy touches like candles, string lights, and natural accents. A holiday-themed photo wall adds a fun, festive touch. - Serve Comforting Winter Fare
Create a menu of hearty winter dishes and warm drinks. A prix fixe with soups, roasts, and spiced ciders brings out seasonal flavors. View our menu. - Add Live Music and Activities

Set up a heated outdoor space with blankets and fire pits for guests to enjoy the view with a hot drink in hand. - Use Eco-Friendly Décor
Go green with reusable, local greenery and eco-friendly favors like handmade soaps or candles. - Plan for Winter Weather
Ensure clear paths, warm seating, and safety measures. Offer extra gloves and scarves for guests. - Add Personal Touches
Customized ornaments, handwritten cards, or blankets add a thoughtful, festive touch.
With thoughtful details and a cozy venue, a lakeside holiday party will capture the season’s magic and leave lasting memories. Friends and family are sure to never forget the incredible lakeside charm your party brought to the table.
