Why Thursdays or January Are the Best Times for Your Holiday Party

Holiday Party at SKY Armory

December is the season of celebration. It’s also the season of packed calendars, overlapping events, and endless obligations. That’s why more and more companies and groups are discovering the benefits of hosting their holiday parties on a Thursday or even in January instead of vying for the usual Friday and Saturday dates in December.

At SKY Armory, we’ve seen firsthand how shifting the timing of your holiday party makes it easier for guests, easier for planners, and more memorable for everyone involved.

Thursday Parties: A Smarter December Choice

Fridays and Saturdays in December are in high demand, and that makes it difficult for your guests to commit. Between family gatherings, shopping, and travel, weekends fill up quickly. A Thursday evening party, on the other hand, avoids the chaos. Your guests are more likely to say yes, knowing their weekend is still free. And a Thursday event feels like the perfect way to kick off the weekend early.

January Parties: The Hidden Gem

When the holiday rush is over, January offers a clear calendar and fresh energy. Hosting your holiday party in January comes with real advantages:

• Higher Attendance: With fewer commitments competing for time, more of your guests can make it.

• Lifts the Winter Mood: January can feel long and quiet after the holidays. A celebration adds something fun and energizing to look forward to.

• Sets the Tone for the Year Ahead: A January party gives your team a chance to celebrate achievements and build excitement for what’s next.
