The Secret Ingredient to a Lit Christmas Party

Ngozi was nervous. Hosting her first Christmas party in Surulere felt like a big deal, especially since her friends from university would be coming. They had a reputation for their wild December turn-ups, and she wanted this one to top them all.

She had planned everything down to the food menu: grilled catfish, small chops, and jollof rice that wouldn’t miss. But when it came to drinks, Ngozi was clueless.

“Abeg, wetin be the difference between whiskey and sparkling rum?” she whispered to her sister, Ada, who burst into laughter. Determined not to flop, Ngozi searched online and found a guide to Christmas party spirits. It was a lifesaver!

She quickly created her drink lineup and ordered from a wine store near her: Bottleking. Whiskey for the guys who liked it bold, vodka for her cocktail-loving friends, beer and rum, and wine for the midnight toast.

On the day of the party, Ngozi’s tiny living room transformed. Christmas lights twinkled, Afrobeat playlists boomed, and her drink station became the star of the night. Whiskey on ice paired perfectly with the grilled suya, while vodka mixed into fruity cocktails got everyone vibing.

By 11 p.m., her best friend, Dami, raised a glass of Prosecco. “Ngozi, this party is mad! You really brought the Christmas spirit to life!” Ngozi laughed, relieved and proud. “It’s not just the spirit of Christmas,” she said, holding up a bottle of Captain Morgan.

“It’s the spirits IN Christmas!” As midnight struck, they clinked glasses, sang along to Burna Boy, and danced till they wore out. For Ngozi, the secret wasn’t just in the drinks—it was in creating a vibe her friends would always remember.
