25 Christmas Party Favour Ideas Everyone Will Love in 2026
Christmas is the one time of year when every party, from the office celebration to the backyard family lunch, deserves a little something extra for guests to take home. If you're planning this year's celebrations and searching for christmas party favour ideas, you've landed in the right place. We've pulled together our favourite options for every type of gathering, budget and guest list, so you can tick this one off early and actually enjoy the season.
🎄 Why Personalised Favours Make Christmas Extra Special
A personalised favour turns a simple thank you into something guests remember. Whether it's a name printed on a chocolate wrapper or a colour scheme that matches your table setting, that small personal touch is what makes a Christmas gathering feel thoughtful rather than thrown together. With over 15 years creating custom party favours for more than 53,000 Australian customers, we've learned that the best Christmas favours are usually simple, tasty and a little bit personal.
👨👩👧👦 Family Christmas Party Favours
For the big family lunch or Christmas Eve get-together, favours don't need to be elaborate, just thoughtful.
- Personalised mini chocolate bars with each guest's name or a festive message
- Custom Christmas lolly bags filled with mixed treats for the table
- Mini M&M's tubes wrapped in Christmas-themed personalised labels
- Personalised hot chocolate sachets for a cosy post-lunch treat

🎅 Kids' Christmas Party Favour Ideas
Kids' Christmas parties call for favours that are fun to look at and even better to eat.

- Personalised showbags with the child's name for school Christmas parties
- Mini chocolate bars wrapped in bright, playful Christmas designs
- Lolly cones filled with Christmas-coloured lollies (red, green and white)

🏢 Corporate Christmas Gift Favours
End-of-year work parties and client gifts are a great excuse to send a small, branded treat that people actually enjoy.
- Branded mini chocolate bars with your company logo for the whole team
- Personalised gift boxes for client Christmas gifting
- Bulk lolly bags for the office Christmas party, personalised with a team message
- Elegant personalised chocolate favours for end-of-year client thank-yous
Corporate orders are one area where ordering early really pays off, since bulk and branded runs need a bit more lead time than a standard order.
🌱 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Christmas Favours
If you'd rather keep things simple and sustainable this year, favours made with responsibly sourced ingredients are an easy way to do that without any extra effort on your part. We use Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified chocolate and source locally where we can, so a favour that looks festive can also sit comfortably with a lower-waste Christmas.
- Personalised chocolate favours made with certified sustainable chocolate
- Simple paper-wrapped treats instead of plastic-heavy packaging
- Digital, print-yourself favour tags for guests who'd rather skip extra packaging altogether
💰 Budget-Friendly Christmas Favours
Feeding a big guest list doesn't mean the favours need to blow the budget.
- Mini chocolate bars, which offer a lot of personalisation for a low per-guest cost
- Simple printed lolly bags filled from your own pantry
- Print-yourself digital favour tags and wrappers you personalise and print at home
✨ Luxury Christmas Favours for a Special Celebration
For milestone Christmases, engagement announcements over the holidays, or simply a table that deserves a bit more polish, a few upgraded touches go a long way.
- Elegant custom gift boxes with a mix of premium chocolates
- Personalised favours in a matching colour palette for a styled table
- A coordinated favour and place card combination for a seated Christmas dinner
📦 How to Order Christmas Favours in Time
Christmas is our busiest season, and personalised orders take a little longer than off-the-shelf items because every design is made to order. A few tips to keep in mind:
- Order at least 2 to 3 weeks before your event date to allow time for design approval and production
- Double check your guest count before ordering, since personalised items can't easily be added to at the last minute
- If you're local to Sydney, pick-up from Sans Souci is available; otherwise we ship Australia-wide
