Getting a hairstyle for that Christmas Eve party is never easy, and that’s why we’re willing to help you out. Here are 50 adorable Christmas Eve hairstyles you’d want to try:

1. Chic Layered Pixie Haircut

A side pixie is an excellent choice if all you’re after is a quick haircut for a Christmas Eve party. The layers make it even busier, creating a more sophisticated and exquisite look.

2. Long Bright Blonde Hair with Double Pigtails

Having long, blonde hair like this model is already adorable; now imagine wearing it in double pigtails. The dimensional black-brown-blonde look is pretty, and the center parting looks chic.

3. Classic Blonde Bob Haircut

This classic lob looks perfect for Christmas Eve, especially for older ladies with gray hair. I’m a fan of the curved ends, as it creates a symmetrical face-framing look for the style.

4. Quick Half Up Half Down with Red Ribbon

A half-up half-down is a quick yet adorable way to wear your hair for Christmas Eve. While the hairstyle is pretty as is, the red ribbon connotes it’s a Christmas style.

5. Rainbow Colored Hair with Bangs and Layers

Why settle for one hair color when you can get two, or three, or more? This rainbow-colored style combines several pretty colors with curls and elegant bangs to create an excellent Christmas hairstyle.

6. Textured Long Wavy Hair Curtain Bangs

Nobody with hair this long deserves a bad hairstyle, and that’s why this style is one of the prettiest so far. In any case, I don’t think textured wavy hair with bangs would look terrible on any hair, even if short or medium-length.

7. Old Hollywood Graphics Christmas Eve Hair

I have no idea how she got her hair to be that high, but I know it’s unmistakably awesome. The red ribbon at the top adds extra flair to the Christmas look.

8. Ash Blonde Wavy Hair with Balayage Highlights

This dimensional ash-blonde wave uses a pretty balayage coloring pattern that makes the hairstyle pretty. The center parting creates some symmetry, making it one of the most remarkable styles I’ve seen so far.

9. Glam Ponytail for Long Hair

This glam ponytail is an easy yet charming Christmas Eve hairstyle, especially for ladies with blonde hair. I’d use a red ribbon for Christmas and to match the makeup, but it doesn’t look half bad this way.

10. Mid-Length Layered Haircut

If your hair isn’t the longest, this mid-length cut with layers should work for you. It’s slightly wavy, which is cute, and the center parting adds extra cherry on top; easy 10/10 hairstyle.

11. Textured Single Large Braided Updo

This hairstyle looks like a gigantic pigtail braid to me, which is perfect for Christmas Eve. The glittering red star is the kind of adornment you wear during the season, and the style looks its best in blonde.

12. Festive Ribbon Braid and Straight Half Down

Braiding a colored ribbon with your hair gives you this braid, and adding a straight half-down results in this look. The green and red color combination isn’t random; think of a Christmas tree!

13. Platinum Blonde Bob Haircut

The platinum-blonde bob is the perfect look for ladies going for a simple Christmas Eve look. Its center parting adores the style excellently, and the model’s smile is simply magical.

14. Long Bouncy Hair with Curly Ends

Achieving a bouncy look with curls is another smart way to wear your hair for Christmas Eve, especially when you’re a brunette. A red adornment would’ve worked here, but simple is good too.

15. Long Hair with Bold Curls

If the curly look from the preceding hairstyle isn’t curly enough for you, this long curly style should work. Despite looking very much like a brunette hairstyle, this should work excellently on any hair color.

16. Voluminous Curly Long Hair

Here’s something even better you can replicate with just a little bit more volume. Throw in a dimensional brown-blonde look here and you’ll win hearts.

17. Quick Side-Parted Wavy Hair

Partings don’t always have to come at the center, especially for Christmas hairstyles. If you’re looking for something quick and easy for brown hair, just get a side parting and you’re good to go.

18. Pink and Yellow Glam Haircut

If you love flashy colors, here’s a chic Christmas glam cut that combines two. Pink and yellow isn’t the most common color combo, but it works well here, especially with the waves.

19. Long Wavy Hair with Textured Tree Braid

You don’t need pink hair to wear long waves. A combination of brown hair with a tree braid and a hairpin can get you this look; isn’t it adorable?

20. Streamlined Hair Updo

Getting a streamlined updo is a great Christmas hairstyle, especially if your hair isn’t one of the longest. This exact look will take some time to perfect, but the looks are worth the effort.

21. Mixed-tone long Party Hair with Waves

If your goal is to showcase your excellent length, this dimensional wavy party hair should. You’d not wear this to a party on Christmas Eve and not get a dozen compliments.

22. Textured Side-Parted Bob Haircut

You can turn heads, even without that length or waviness. This side-parted bob takes full advantage of its short length, introducing an unexpected but unmistakably beautiful center parting.

23. Boho Full Glam Half Up Half Down

A glam Bohemian style surely won’t let you down on Christmas Eve, and that’s what this style depicts. The wavy look is stunning, and the half-up simply adds extra cherry on top.

24. Simple Brown Long Hair

The preceding hairstyle works on brown hair as it works on blonde. Even without the half-up half-down, choosing this over that would be a massive challenge.

25. Long Wavy Hair with Extension

Here’s another long hair with almost perfect waves. If you’re wondering why the waves look so perfect, it’s hair extensions, and if you want her exact alluring look, don’t forget the center parting.

26. Lob with Curtain Bangs and Curly Ends

Waves look pretty lovely, but you can achieve a winsome look without them. Just take a look at this stunning lob; with its curtain bangs and curly ends, I’d certainly get this if I were blonde.

27. Platinum Blonde Straight Long Hair

If your blonde is on the platinum side, this Christmas Eve hairstyle should work great for you. We know nothing of how it looks from the front, but that hairpin can only be described as perfect.

28. 5 Strand Ribbon Braid Half Up and Wavy Half Down

If you’re familiar with the five-strand ribbon style, nothing is stopping you from copying this style. Its white ribbon isn’t the most Christmas-esque, but it’s Christmas Eve; who cares?

29. Long Hair with Beach Waves and Balayage Highlights

This dimensional long wave uses a balayage coloring style, making the entire hairstyle look seamless. I’d only try it with long hair, but there’s no harm in trying your luck with shorter hair.

30. French Updo with Red Ribbon

A French ribbon likely already gives you all the elegance you want, but spicing it up with a red ribbon connotes Christmas. Taking a second look, the entire thing now looks like a pigtail!

31. Thick Blonde Hair with Glam Waves

Wavy blonde is a perfect combo in this compilation, and here it is again. I’m not sure how it looks in the front, but bangs or a center parting wouldn’t look half bad there.

32. Textured Ponytail with Curtain Bangs

This ponytail style may not turn too many heads on Christmas eve, but it’s a chic way to prepare for something bigger. If you’re not having the biggest event, this style should work for you.

33. Messy Updo Hairstyle

We’ve seen an updo like this, and it looks similar to the preceding style. I’ll put them in the same category, but who knows: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

34. Deep Wine Long Hair with Layers

Here’s another flashy color for ladies trying to achieve an unconventionally-colored look. That wine color already looks dope, and the dimensional introduction of black makes it pop.

35. Classic Ash Blonde Haircut with Gray Ends

Older ladies transitioning from blonde to gray can wear this wavy ash cut. Even if you’re not graying out yet, I can’t imagine this style not looking excellent on you.

36. Bob Haircut with Bangs

A bob is one of the best Christmas Eve hairstyles if you’re after something very conventional. Don’t be fooled by the color; this will look equally great on black, brown, and blonde, especially with full curtain bangs.

37. White Mid-Length Haircut

If your hair is white and not very long, this side-parted haircut will make your Christmas Eve hairstyles top list. A low-hanging fruit here has more aggressive layers and a dimensional look, but it looks chic as is.

38. Braided Fishtail with Glitters

We’ve seen many styles similar to fishtails earlier, but we haven’t seen one in all its glory. Lo and behold, here comes the braided fishtail, and it’s not alone; it comes with adorable glitters to complete the Christmas look.

39. Spread Out Long Wavy Haircut

If you’re not hitting the perfect style with your blonde hair, this long wavy cut is an excellent idea to try. The symmetrical parting adds extra allure and the spread-out look gives an illusion of volume.

40. Double Strand Braid with Ponytail

Nothing works better for Christmas Eve than a double-strand braid that comes down to a low ponytail. The colored beads and white hairpin well connote the season, completing the near-perfect look.

41. Messy Curly Haircut

Despite looking ‘messy,’ this curly haircut has won my heart, thanks to its bouncy look and its length. The front view is not visible, but I can bet my last cent it has a chic center parting.

42. Curly Hair Updo with Flowers

If you think the preceding hairstyle looks excessively curly, wait until you see this one. It’s somewhat challenging to replicate, but with those flowers, you’ll easily get more compliments than you ever have.

43. Side Braided Updo

Braiding your hair to the side creates a pretty Christmas Eve look, and that’s it. It’s neither the most exquisite, nor is it turning everyone’s heads, but it’s easy and quick to replicate; so that’s fair.

44. Mid-Length Holiday Glam Haircut

Who wouldn’t love a mid-length dimensional glam with a stunning center parting and a wavy look to make it even better? The hairpin looks great as is, but getting it in red wouldn’t be a bad idea.

45. Voluminous Hair with Waves

Older women transitioning to gray hair will love this voluminous style, especially if they have similar volume. The waves aren’t very defined, but that takes nothing away from the style’s allure.

46. Top Knot with Spread-Out Down Hair

Getting an updo on 100% natural hair is a pretty brave thing to do, but that’s why I love this style. You probably don’t want that frizz and flyaway, but if you don’t care, knock yourself out.

47. Tri-Colored Lob Haircut

We’ve seen some colors so far, but this idea combines them to make a pretty, super-color hairstyle. I’d experiment with different colors, but I won’t judge you if you make an exact copy; it’s chic anyway.

48. Side-Swept Sexy Haircut

Side-sweeping your haircut works almost equally as well as using a center parting, especially with this voluminous, wavy look. If you can get something similar, you’ll have cloned one of the best Christmas Eve hairstyles.

49. Mid-length Pink Wavy Haircut

If you’re one of those here for the flashy colors, this one should work for you. The purple-pink color doesn’t look too unconventional, and she’s wearing it in a side-parted wave; one of the best Christmas Eve hairstyles.

50. Simple Blond Hair with Long Curly Coils

Finally, a blonde hairstyle with coils. Achieving those coils will probably take a trip to your hairstylist, but if your goal is to get one of the best Christmas Eve hairstyles, that shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Conclusion

If you came here with no idea of what to wear for Christmas Eve, you should be leaving with at least a dozen ideas. Show the ones you’ve saved to your hairstylist, and you’ll certainly be wearing a stunning style on Christmas Eve.
