Physical Stores
If you haven’t got the time to work on a DIY costume, take a trip to a traditional costume shop and you’d be surprised at the range of high-quality options available. Available to rent or buy, indulge in some of the best Santa, reindeer and Christmas pudding costumes on the market. Spare no expense in a full suit, or browse the accessories section to put together a quirky costume on a budget.
Play a Word Association Game
The best way to come up with an original Christmas costume is to think of one yourself. If you’re hitting a mental block, play a quick word association game with yourself - and write everything down as you go! There are some online word association tools you could use, that generate words related to the term “Christmas” when you type it in. Ebenezer Scrooge? Roast turkey? Christmas wreath? They’re all some ideas you may not have thought of before.
