Instead of traditional party hats, have each guest wear an Elsa crown or Sven antlers. Print out these free templates on cardstock then trace the pattern on craft foam (use sparkly blue for Elsa and brown for Sven). You can add your own accessories.

Get the whole family to help you make paper snowflakes to use as decorations. You can stick with simple ones or wow your guests with this 3D version. For extra fun, try using coloured or printed paper. You can scatter the snowflakes all over your house, hang them from the celling or use them as centrepieces.
It's the make-a-wedding-dress game from bridal showers with a Frozen twist. Have the kids break into teams. Give them a few toilet paper rolls and some cut-outs of snowman accessories (like buttons and a carrot nose.) Then, give them a time limit to wrap one teammate and create a snowman. The best snowman wins. Don't forget to award points for style and creativity.

When in doubt, dip anything in white chocolate and call it "snow-covered." You can add Sven's snacks (veggies) to the mix for a healthier option. Leave these munchies out for the whole party so the kids can graze as they play, or set up a dessert table after the main meal.

Don't worry, Olaf's cool with it—some parties are worth melting for. Fill a clear drink dispenser with water, add one large carrot nose (this won't change the water flavour) and ice balls for Olaf's body. To make the balls, make water balloons and freeze them, then peel off the balloons right before the party. For added fun, decorate plastic cups with different characters from the movie.

The recipe is simple: Mix 3 cups of baking soda with 1/2 cup of hair conditioner. Tip: Use white conditioner so the snow stays white. You can make the snow with the kids during the party or prepare it before and have a snowman-building contest as the party activity. When the fun's over, seal your snow in a bag; if it dries out, rehydrate it later with more conditioner.
Cake decorating stress getting you down? Let it go! To make a simple Elsa cake, start by stacking three cake layers (two regular and one dome cake on top). Make a hole in the middle of each layer. Once the layers are assembled, place the bottom half of your little one's favourite Elsa doll inside the hole so the cake becomes the bottom half of her dress. Then decorate it with Elsa colours and snowflakes. (Easy snowflake instructions here.) If you're not a cake boss, check out this step-by-step tutorial. You can also make an Anna cake.
