About This Event

Show Details

"Christmas in the Trenches" is a hilariously bleak holiday party for the gloriously alone, inspired by Home Alone and the art of surviving both burglars and seasonal loneliness. Set in a bunker-like atmosphere, guests will drink booby trap–themed cocktails, play sad-but-fun party games like Lonely Bingo and Tarantula Toss, and compete in solo survival challenges like pizza hoarding and DIY defense-building. With a gift exchange no one asked for, VR trauma simulations, and just enough rum to forget your family didn’t invite you, it’s the ultimate celebration for those holding down the fort this Christmas—armed with sarcasm, duct tape, and zero expectations.

Details

🪖 THE VIBE

This ain’t your family’s Christmas dinner. This is for the ones holding down the fort while the world celebrates without them. Inspired by Home Alone, this night of chaotic cheer is all about being left behind… and making the most of it.

🍸 RATIONS & RUM

Drink Menu

Buzz's Basement Brew – spiked hot chocolate with zero apologies
The Wet Bandit – a dangerously sweet rum punch that will sneak up on you
Paint Can Old Fashioned – drop it like it's heavy
Kevin’s Trap Juice – mystery cocktail served with a gummy tarantula

🧨 PARTY GAMES FOR SURVIVALISTS

Battle Stations: Build your own Home Alone booby trap using craft supplies, Nerf gear, and duct tape. Best design wins a bottle of “Buzz’s Brew.”
Lonely Bingo: A card filled with sad-but-true solo scenarios like “talked to a pet today,” “watched TV with no lights on,” or “replied to your own Instagram story.”
Tarantula Toss: Throw (fake) spiders at moving targets while screaming. Just because.
Battle of the Last Slice: Competitive pizza-eating contest. Winner gets the last slice and the respect of no one.

🎮 LONER ZONE (for the truly solo-minded)

Selfie Defense Booth – take photos of yourself mid-attack pose with cardboard cutouts of the Wet Bandits
Solo Mario Kart Bracket – play against yourself, and still lose
Trap Simulator VR – relive the trauma in immersive 3D (must sign waiver)

🎁 SECRET SAD SANTA

Bring a gift ($5 max, please... we’re not made of money). Trade it anonymously with another soldier of solitude. Unwrap quietly in a corner while sipping your drink. Crying permitted.

👕 DRESS CODE

Pajamas, long johns, or any outfit that says “I’ve been abandoned”
Bonus points for DIY Kevin-style scarves or makeshift booby-trap gear
Optional: bring your toothbrush. (Approved by the American Dental Association?)

🧊 REMEMBER…

No family. No expectations. Just one night of cathartic chaos.
This is your Christmas. Hold the line.
