Our Tinsel and Tinis Friendsmas felt like the kind of night that instantly puts you in the holiday spirit.
The moment everyone arrived in their Christmas pajamas, the energy was already different. There was laughter right away, a little bit of chaos in the best way, and that excitement you only really get when people are in full holiday mode.
It didn’t feel slow or quiet. It felt alive. Like everyone came ready to do something, create something, and just enjoy a fun night out with friends before the year wrapped up.
The painting table was constantly busy. Glass ornaments and cups were covered in paint, brushes were being passed around, and Pinterest ideas were being recreated in real time. Some people were super detailed, others were just having fun experimenting, and a lot of it turned into “wait, let me try that on mine too” moments. It was creative, but also a little playful and messy in the best way.
Throughout the night, people were moving around, grabbing snacks, sipping drinks, going back to their seats, then standing up again to check on each other’s designs. It had that easy flow where nobody really stayed in one place too long because there was always something happening somewhere.
The bar added to the festive energy with holiday cocktails and a mocktail that made everything feel a bit more celebratory. Drinks were part of the moment which raised mid-laugh shared between friends, or held while someone tried to finish a last-minute design.
The photo backdrop tuned into a full-on holiday moment. Everyone lined up in their PJ’s, pulling friends into frame, laughing through shots, and leaning into the fun of it all. It wasn’t about perfect poses, it was about capturing the energy of the night as it was happening.
Dirt Roads Couture also joined us and brought even more sparkle into the room. Hair tinsel, gems, and permanent jewelry gave everyone a little extra holiday shine, and you could actually see people getting excited about leaving with something new on them.
And of course, Best Christmas PJ’s and best painted glass pieces had everyone cheering, laughing, and hyping each other up. The gift baskets made it even better, small wins that felt very on theme for the night.
What made Tinsel and Tinis special wasn’t just the activities, but the energy of it all. It was festive, a little chaotic, very interactive, and full of moments where people were just fully in it laughing, creating, and enjoying the holiday season together.
A Friendsmas night that felt fun, lively, and a little sparkly in all the right ways.
