From snowflake decorations and royal tea parties to character-led games, dancing, crafts, and magical birthday moments, an Elsa and Anna party is perfect for children who love adventure, friendship, princesses, and a little bit of winter magic.

Whether you're planning a birthday party in Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, NYC, or anywhere across North Jersey, this guide will help you create a celebration worthy of Arendelle.

Invite Elsa & Anna to the Party

The easiest way to make a Frozen-themed birthday party feel truly magical? Bring the sisters of Arendelle to life!

Having Elsa and Anna at the party transforms a regular birthday celebration into an interactive experience. Instead of simply posing for photos, professional character entertainers can lead the children through games, dancing, singing, storytelling, birthday traditions, and plenty of magical moments.

Elsa and Anna also work beautifully together because their personalities complement each other. Elsa can bring her elegant, regal energy while Anna keeps the celebration playful, energetic, and silly.

Pro Tip: For larger parties, having both Elsa and Anna helps keep the children engaged while giving everyone more opportunities for one-on-one interaction and photos.

Choose Your Frozen Color Palette

You don't need to cover every inch of the room in Frozen merchandise to create a beautiful themed party.

Start with a simple winter-inspired palette:

• Icy blue

• White

• Silver

• Lavender

• Soft pink

• Deep blue

Add snowflakes, shimmering tablecloths, balloons, ribbons, and subtle sparkle to create an elegant winter wonderland.

For a more sophisticated party, use white florals, silver accents, crystal-inspired decorations, and translucent balloons instead of traditional character merchandise.

Create a Royal Entrance

Give your birthday child and their guests the royal treatment from the moment they arrive.

Create a welcome sign such as:

“Welcome to Arendelle! We’re So Glad You’re Here!”

You can also have each child receive a small “royal” accessory when they arrive.

Ideas include:

👑 Paper crowns❄️ Snowflake wands✨ Sparkly stickers💙 Blue ribbons🌸 Anna-inspired floral accessories

For an extra-special touch, have Elsa and Anna officially welcome the guests to their kingdom when they arrive.

Plan a Magical Dessert Table

The dessert table is a perfect place to bring the Frozen theme together.

Consider a birthday cake decorated with snowflakes, an icy castle, Elsa and Anna, or shades of blue and white.

Other dessert ideas include:

• Snowflake sugar cookies

• Blue and white cupcakes

• Snowball cake pops

• Chocolate-covered pretzels

• Marshmallow “snowballs”

• Shimmering candy

• Blue lemonade

• Snowflake-shaped cookies

• Cake pops decorated like snowflakes

You can also give your food playful Frozen-inspired names:

Elsa & Anna Party Games

A great Frozen birthday party should keep the children involved rather than simply watching the characters.

Here are some fun activities Elsa and Anna can lead.

Freeze Dance

This one is practically mandatory!

Play upbeat music while the children dance around the room. When the music stops, everyone has to freeze like a magical ice statue.

Elsa can pretend to use her ice powers to freeze everyone.

When the music starts again, everyone is magically unfrozen!

Olaf Says

Put a Frozen twist on the classic game Simon Says.

Instead of “Simon says,” Anna or Elsa can call out:

“Olaf says!”

Try commands like:

“Olaf says hop like a bunny!”

“Olaf says spin like a snowflake!”

“Olaf says pretend you're building a snowman!”

“Olaf says freeze!”

The sillier the commands, the better.

Snowball Toss

Create soft “snowballs” using white pom-poms, cotton balls, or crumpled white paper.

Set up buckets or baskets and let the children compete to see how many snowballs they can toss into the targets.

Anna can encourage everyone while Elsa demonstrates her best magical snowball skills.

Build a Snowman

Give the children paper circles, scarves, buttons, crayons, and other craft supplies and let them create their own snowmen.

For a larger group, turn it into a team activity where everyone works together to build a giant paper snowman.

Find Olaf!

Oh no! Olaf has wandered off somewhere in Arendelle!

Hide a small Olaf toy or several Olaf pictures around the party area and have the children search for him.

Anna can lead the search while Elsa uses her “magical powers” to help find him.

Royal Freeze Tag

Put a Frozen twist on traditional freeze tag.

One child can pretend to be Elsa and “freeze” the other players by tagging them.

Another player can “unfreeze” them with a royal wave or high-five.

For younger children, keep the game simple and focus on running, freezing, and laughing rather than elimination.

Have an Elsa & Anna Dance Party

Once everyone has warmed up with the games, it's time for a royal dance party!

Elsa and Anna can lead the children through simple dances and movement activities.

Try movements inspired by:

❄️ Snowflakes👑 Royal dancing⛄ Snowmen🦌 Reindeer🌬️ Winter winds

You can also have the characters teach a simple choreographed dance that everyone performs together.

Pro Tip: Keep choreography simple for preschoolers. Follow-the-leader movements and easy repetitive steps are usually much more successful than complicated routines.

Add a Frozen Craft

A craft gives children something creative to do while adding another memorable activity to the party.

Design Your Own Snowflake Wand

Provide children with paper snowflakes, craft sticks, ribbon, stickers, and glitter so they can create their own magical wands.

Decorate a Crown

Give each child a simple paper crown and let them decorate it with stickers, gems, snowflakes, and markers.

Create Your Own Snowman

Provide paper snowman pieces and let children design their own unique snowman.

Encourage them to give their snowman a name and tell Elsa and Anna about their creation.

Host an Arendelle Royal Tea Party

For a slightly more elegant celebration, turn the birthday into a Frozen royal tea party.

Set up a children's tea table with:

• Mini sandwiches

• Fruit

• Cookies

• Cupcakes

• Lemonade

• Sparkling water

• Tea sandwiches

• Small pastries

Elsa and Anna can join the children for a royal tea party, teach them proper royal manners, and share stories from Arendelle.

This is especially adorable for smaller parties and younger children who love princess-style pretend play.

Give the Birthday Child a Royal Moment

The birthday child should get their own special moment with Elsa and Anna.

The characters can:

• Present a birthday crown

• Lead everyone in Happy Birthday

• Give the birthday child a special royal greeting

• Take photos with the birthday child

• Dance with the birthday child

• Have a private conversation with the birthday child

• Lead a special birthday wish

For an extra-magical touch, Elsa can tell the birthday child that they have been invited to celebrate in Arendelle.

Create a Frozen Photo Station

Set aside a small area for photos with Elsa and Anna.

You don't need an elaborate backdrop. A few well-chosen details can make the photos feel magical.

Try:

• Snowflake decorations

• White balloons

• Blue balloons

• Silver streamers

• Faux snow

• A winter castle backdrop

• Crowns

• Snowflake wands

• Olaf props

Take individual photos with the birthday child as well as a group picture with all of the guests.

Frozen Party Favors

Send your guests home with a little piece of Arendelle.

Fun party favor ideas include:

• Snowflake wands

• Crowns

• Frozen stickers

• Snowflake ornaments

• Coloring books

• Bubbles

• Mini snow globes

• Character-themed accessories

• Personalized cookies

You can also send children home with the crafts they made during the party.
