Christmas in July?? Yes, it's a thing…at least we are making it one.

As event planners are already coming to us for holiday events, we thought now would be the perfect time to spotlight our top holiday entertainment ideas. With groups finally beginning to meet back in-person again, holiday events will be even bigger and better this year.

You may be wondering…when is the right time to start planning a holiday event? There's no perfect answer for this since there are so many factors within one event (number of attendees, budget, event needs, etc). But from our perspective, it's never too early. Entertainers book up so quickly around the holiday season.

Just like shopping for clothes, you want to buy what's in-season before the season actually hits. If you wait, everyone is shopping for the same thing, items go out of stock, and prices can go up. It's the same with entertainment. It's best to get them booked while their schedule is still open and you still have options.

Get ahead of the game with these fun, high-quality entertainment options. We're pulling out all the stops this year!

1. Music Mashup and Mixology (Virtual, Hybrid, or In-Person Events)
