Now–keep reading for 13 January gender reveal ideas that’ll provide you with major inspo. Some might even end up providing you with the theme for your big day!
1. Colored smoke bombs on the snow
January gender reveal ideas like this are a great fit for those who love snow and are lucky enough to experience snowy winters regularly. Find a beautiful outdoor location blanketed in snow and take a couple of photos and videos with blue or pink-colored smoke bombs surrounding you for the gender reveal itself.
In case you need to rent a snowy outdoor location for this one, be sure to check out Peerspace for tons of options in your area. For instance, we adore this A-frame cabin in the Sierra Nevadas of California. It comes with snowy winters along with a nearly 1,100-square-foot A-frame cabin set on five acres of forested land.
2. Snowy winter piñata
Suppose you’re not that into the idea of the colored smoke bombs. In that case, another one of our January gender reveal ideas is a piñata in a wintry shape (for instance, this snowflake piñata you can buy on Etsy). Fill it with the colored candies or confetti of your choice.
You and your partner can have photos taken as you break the piñata open, revealing the sex of your soon-to-be new family member when you share all the photos with friends and family! Or you can invite them to be there in person if they’re willing to brave the cold weather. The colored confetti will look beautiful on the snow and will really pop. Just be sure to clean everything up afterward, so you don’t end up littering.
We think this private forest retreat center in Roberts Creek, BC can be the perfect setting for January gender reveal ideas like this. It is a beautifully spacious and sophisticated home that your guests will love.
3. Gender reveal fireworks
Fireworks are often associated with January because we set them off for New Year’s, so why not take advantage of this association with this excellent January gender reveal idea? Choose a safe and private outdoor location for an evening and reveal the sex of your baby with the color of the fireworks you set off! This is one of the more costly ideas on this list, but it’s a truly stunning reveal method.

4. Decorate an indoor party with wintry decor
There are tons of snowflake and silver glitter-covered wintry decor out there. And it can be an affordable way to take your indoor venue to the next level with just a little effort. For instance, we love this “Baby It’s Cold Outside” banner, as well as these lovely and tasteful paper snowflake decorations.
5. Add a balloon arch in pink and blue
A mixture of pink and blue decor is a classic for gender reveal parties. One easy way to incorporate this color scheme is in the form of a balloon arch! This one from Junibel on Amazon is a perfect example of what we’re talking about, but there are tons of different ones out there in a variety of sizes and shades.
6. Play some gender reveal party games
When the January weather is extra chilly, help everyone at your party warm up with some active party games. Here are 9 gender reveal games from the Happiest Baby blog to get you started.
January gender reveal ideas like this would come to life in this modern mountain home in Idyllwild, CA. Imagine playing games alongside your partner and your guests in front of the fireplace!
7. Unique balloon pop gender reveal
You may have heard about a gender reveal using a balloon pop. But what about popping those balloons with a set of darts? This fabulous concept comes to us from Tula Mama, and it really ups the suspense factor: “The idea is that you have multiple black balloons that are filled with corn starch, and attached to a large board. All except one balloon has corn starch in it. The remaining balloon has either pink or blue gender reveal powder.”
Mom and Dad (or all the guests!) get to throw the darts.
8. Penguin gender reveal party
You might not have penguins living anywhere near you, but it’s undeniable that many of us think of these arctic birds when we think about winter. Plus, they’re incredibly cute, so they’re perfect for a gender reveal party. Check out this guide to a “Waddle it Be?” penguin gender reveal from Fun365 for even more ideas.
Hosting your January gender reveal at this beautiful black and white event space in Chicago, IL would go perfectly with this theme!
9. Snowman gender reveal
Again, if you have snow on the ground, a gender reveal that utilizes snow is going to be a great option. Simply build a snowman and deck it out with either pink or blue accessories – hats, scarves, mittens, the whole nine yards!

10. Mystery cupcake reveal
You might have heard of gender reveals that use colored cakes for the big announcement – when you slice the cake, the color is revealed. But for this alternative using cupcakes, bake a batch of plain-colored cupcakes, with just ONE cupcake that contains blue or pink. Then, give everyone a cupcake and have them all take a bite. Someone will get the mystery cupcake, and it’ll be extra exciting!
11. Bonfire gender reveal
If you can brave the January cold, invite everyone over to your outdoor bonfire. Then, throw a pack of blue or pink fire colorant packets into the fire. The color of the flames will reveal your baby’s gender!
If you don’t have a bonfire space of your own, never fret. Peerspace can connect you with venues that do! For instance, our friends in Houston can book this cozy campfire backyard rental home in the Greater Third Ward. Its spectacular fire pit in the backyard is perfect for this January gender reveal idea.
12. Gender reveal snow angels
We’re huge fans of this January gender reveal idea from Chameleon Colors. It involves the fun and classic winter activity of making snow angels. First, line up everyone in your family in height order (even if there are only two of you, it’ll still be cute). Then, in a patch of untouched snow, make snow angels, including one for the incoming new arrival. “Using your fists, create a small baby snow angel indentation at the end of the family line to announce the upcoming arrival of the new addition. Announce your baby’s gender – and make it colorful – by pouring pink or blue color powder into the snow angel indentation.”
What an adorable way to let everyone know the big news! And in case you need a good location for this one, you can rent a space like this Blackfoot River paradise mountain lodge in Bonner-West Riverside, MT, via Peerspace. In January, you’ll find plenty of snowy weather that will make for fabulous snow angel photos.
13. Throw a gender reveal karaoke party
Everyone needs a little fun and excitement during January. So why not deliver the goods in several ways during your gender reveal party? Consider hosting your gender reveal party at a venue with karaoke equipment and sing a song that reveals your baby-to-be’s gender to the eager crowd.
Book a karaoke venue through Peerspace, such as this adorable and delight your guests with karaoke, cakes, and a gender reveal!
