Here is what I did for My residents Christmas party:
Buy small stockings (dollar store or Walmart) they sell them by packages as well.
Fill them up with a package of hot cocoa and candies.
I used the 2 oz mini plastic cups and filled it with mini M&M’S. I added a few Hershey’s kisses and topped it off with mini candy canes. I also stapled a raffle ticket to the back of the stocking.
I bought 5 gifts from 5 below and will be raffling them out.
As people come in to the party, they grab a stocking and may the lucky person win.
