Have a uni Christmas dinner

At this point, you’ve got everything you need to enjoy the festive season, now you just need a proper Christmas dinner.

This is actually pretty easy if you stick to a budget and share the shopping. Maybe everyone can take charge of a dish each, so one person isn’t stuck with prepping the whole thing.

Get everyone around the table - and don’t forget the Christmas crackers! If you’re not into cooking a roast from scratch, though, read all about our alternative Flatmas dinners here.

Have a festive night out

Christmas club nights are a staple of the winter season. The most popular pubs and clubs in your city are bound to have a calendar of festive-themed student events. Fully immerse yourself in the fun with a seasonal fancy dress theme. We’re talking elves, Santas, and Rudolphs.

Make your costume budget-friendly by using materials you may already have to hand. Coloured felt and a handful of safety pins can go a long way when putting together Santa’s iconic red outfit.

Festive karaoke

Belting out holiday tunes with your pals is a great way to unwind, let loose, and celebrate the spirit of the season.

Deck yourself out in holiday attire and head for a singalong at the nearest karaoke bar. Most places will have a string of festive pop hits and classic carols you can try your hand (or your voice) at.

Of course, if singing on stage isn’t for you, it’s still loads of fun to just enjoy the music from the safety of the dance floor.

Not a fan of making a fool of yourself in public? You can always host a karaoke night in your flat! YouTube the music videos for your favourite Christmas bangers and sing along with the stars.

Of course, be mindful of your neighbours if you’re planning on wailing like Mariah Karey long into the night – invite them along for the fun or turn the volume down later on. You don’t want any noise complaints!
