Nobody is going to argue with us when we say that Halloween is the number one holiday where people get to dress up in costumes or at the very least step into attire that is out of the ordinary. However, the holiday season is likely the next dressiest holiday nipping at Halloween’s haunted heels.

 Some of us might wait for that single time of year when it’s socially acceptable to dress up as our favorite ghoul and head to our favorite haunts to celebrate Halloween with our friends, family, and loved ones. There are still a few of us who have decided that it’s fun to dress up during any time of year. Some of us might look for ways to dress out of the ordinary and add a little bit of festive spirit to any special occasion or holiday.

 Below, we go over some holiday-themed costume ideas as well as how the holidays have been portrayed in popular culture leading up to our current point in time.

 

Christmas Through the Ages

Christmas is one of the most popular holidays celebrated the world over. There are many iconic films and television shows set during the holiday seasons, from one point of view to another. Each decade seems to have its own lasting hits, from It’s a Wonderful Life to A Christmas Story to Elf.

 Some of the raunchier Christmas movies include Bad Santa while the more G-rated fare like Mickey’s Christmas Carol remain popular holiday mainstays.

 

Holiday Costume Ideas

 If you head to a Halloween party, you might choose to go with something a little more festive than a pirate costume or a Spiderman costume. More traditional costumes include Santa Claus costumes, Mrs. Claus costumes, elf costumes, reindeer costumes, as well as various Hanukkah Costumes (like a kid’s dreidel costume, a kid’s menorah costume, and other options). Kwanzaa costumes are also growing in popularity and make great additions if you’re heading to multi-cultural events this holiday season.

 You can get more specific and go with a How the Grinch Stole Christmas costume, Nightmare Before Christmas Costume, or a Buddy the Elf costume, but this might require some additional legwork on your end in order to procure the perfect costume. When it comes down to it, you probably don’t want to end up splurging on some sort of intricate holiday costume only to end up not having much left over to spend on thoughtful gifts for the people you cherish the most in your life.

 Instead, try to look around for things you already have. A little holiday bow and ribbon can go a long way. If you have a great Halloween costume already, you might be able to build upon that by adding a holiday touch to the costume. For instance, if you have a rocking Harley Quinn costume, you might add a Santa hat to the mix and maybe imagine what Harley would dress up like for a holiday occasion. Let your imagination run wild and people will respond to such creativity.

 

Holiday Themed Parties

Adult-themed holiday parties are aplenty during this time of year, including Bad Santa parties, ugly sweater parties, and more. Making sure your costume fits whatever occasion or event you plan on attending so you don’t end up sticking out like a sore thumb. You want to draw the right kind of attention to yourself instead of putting yourself in the position to be the subject of ridicule. You don’t want someone taking a snapshot of a costume done in poor taste -- that can end up coming back to haunt you.

 There are also more kid-friendly holiday themed parties like book and ornament exchanges that you can focus on this time of year that are all dress-up friendly.

 The fact of the matter is, many people are utilizing costumes for events like costume parties, cosplay conventions, and more. The holiday season is a time of year where many individuals explore different costume ideas, and Kids Halloween Costumes & More is a great place to gather supplies as well as inspiration.

 We have one of the largest inventories on the internet. It doesn’t matter if you need a Santa costume, an elf costume, or any other type of holiday costume -- we’re here to make sure your holiday season goes off with a bang.
