Kids’ Christmas Party Packages in Dubai: What’s Included and How to Choose

December is the busiest month on the Dubai kids’ party calendar. School is winding down, the weather is finally perfect for garden parties, and every family seems to be hosting at once. That is exactly why more parents are choosing a packaged Christmas party over booking a decorator, an entertainer, a cake supplier and a sound system separately.

This guide breaks down what a kids’ Christmas party package in Dubai actually includes, how the tiers scale, which festive add-ons are worth it, and how to book before December dates disappear. If you are still in the inspiration stage, start with our Christmas themed celebration ideas and come back here when you are ready to compare options.

Why a Package Beats Piecing Together a December Party Yourself

A Christmas party has more moving parts than most themes: backdrops, festive props, lighting, entertainment, a cake moment and often a visit from Santa. Booking each of these separately in December means chasing several suppliers during their busiest weeks of the year.

An all-inclusive package solves three problems at once:

• One fixed price. You know your spend before the first invitation goes out, instead of watching small supplier quotes add up.
• One point of contact. A Wild Child coordinator is on site from setup to dismantle, so you are not directing a decorator and an entertainer at the same time as greeting guests.
• One delivery window. Delivery and installation are free on every package, and the crew arrives three hours before the party to have everything ready.

For parents comparing the full market, our kids birthday party cost guide explains how packaged pricing compares with booking suppliers one by one.

What Every Wild Child Christmas Party Package Includes

Every one of our kids birthday party packages can be styled in a Christmas or winter wonderland theme. The festive look changes, but the core inclusions stay the same across all three tiers:

• Up to 20 children and a 2-hour party
•   A themed backdrop styled in your Christmas palette (classic red and gold, icy blue and silver, or candy cane red and white)
• A balloon garland for the backdrop
• A customised cake pedestal
• A game host for up to 2 hours, including balloon bending, games, a mic and speaker, and the cake ceremony
• A digital e-invitation and a sound system
• Free delivery and installation
•   An on-site coordinator from setup to dismantle

Packages start from AED 2,190 + VAT. For a full breakdown of how pricing works across the market, see our Dubai party package price guide.

How the Three Tiers Scale for a Festive Party

The Wild, Wilder and Wildest packages build on each other. For a Christmas party, the biggest visible differences are the number of backdrops (more photo spots), the entertainment format, and whether hands-on crafts and a photobooth are included.

Which tier suits a Christmas party? For a cosy home party with younger children, one festive backdrop and a game host is often enough. If you want a Santa photo corner plus a separate dessert backdrop, two or three backdrops make a noticeable difference. The Wildest tier’s arts and crafts table works well for festive crafts such as ornament decorating. Our guide to selecting the right party package walks through the decision by age group.

Christmas Add-Ons That Make the Package Feel Festive

The package covers the essentials. These add-ons are where a Christmas party starts to feel magical:

• A Santa visit and festive character entertainers. Depending on your package, guests can also meet friendly elves and other festive characters who sing, dance and lead games, as described in our Christmas celebration guide.
• A paper show finale. Kilograms of paper drift down like snow, which is about as close to a white Christmas as Dubai gets.
• Popcorn and cotton candy stations. A festive sweet station keeps children busy between games.
• A professional photographer or videographer. December parties are often the best-dressed of the year, so they are worth capturing properly.
• Adult furniture and catering. Christmas parties tend to bring more parents and relatives, so comfortable seating and food for adults matter more than usual.
• Themed giveaways. Small festive favours make an easy goody-bag upgrade.

See the full list in our post on party add-ons, and read why a life-size mascot can become the highlight for younger guests.

Guest Count, Duration and Setup Timing

Christmas parties often grow, because siblings, cousins and visiting relatives join in. Plan for that before you book:

• Guest count: Packages cover up to 20 children. If fewer attend, the package price stays the same; above 20, a per-child charge applies. Our guide on how many kids to invite helps you set the number.
• Duration: Every package runs for 2 hours. If you want a longer party, tell the team before the event so it can be invoiced in advance. Not sure 2 hours is enough? Read how long a kids’ party should be.
• Setup and pack-down: The crew arrives 3 hours before the start time and stays for an hour afterwards. Factor this into your day if you are also hosting a family lunch.

Home, Garden or Venue: Where a Christmas Package Works in Dubai

December is the best month of the year for outdoor parties in Dubai, so villa gardens, community parks and terraces come into play. Our winter outdoor activities guide covers treasure hunts and pony rides that pair well with a festive theme.

If you prefer to stay indoors, a living room or community hall works well for a cosier, fireplace-and-lights look. Our comparison of outdoor vs indoor parties covers the trade-offs, and the Dubai party venues guide lists options if your home is not suitable. We also cover area-specific planning for Jumeirah and Arabian Ranches.

Booking a Christmas Package: Lead Times, Payment and Cancellation

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for any package. In December, the most popular weekend slots go earlier, so the sooner you enquire, the more choice you have.

• How to book: Choose a package, fill in the booking enquiry form, and the team will send a breakdown of theme, menu and entertainment options.
• Payment: Full payment confirms the booking, by bank transfer, cash or cheque.
• Cancellation: Free cancellation up to 15 days before the event. Between 15 and 5 days, you can take a credit note or reschedule within 60 days. Cancellations within 5 days are not refundable
• Rescheduling: Any party can be rescheduled with 15 days’ notice, which is useful if holiday travel plans change..

Package or Fully Custom? When to Hand It to an Organizer

Packages suit most Christmas parties. But if you have a bigger guest list, a combined family and kids’ event, or a very specific vision, our team can design the party from scratch. In that case, working with a dedicated kids birthday party organizer gives you a single planner who handles concept, suppliers and timing end to end.
