Help! Christmas gathering on Sunday. So under prepared

I’ve got people coming round on Sunday. There will be around 15 of us in total. Quite a few kids aged from 3-11. The plan was to have a Christmas party food feast, play some games and have Christmas cocktails for the adults..

The problem is I haven’t at all prepared. This week has been the week from hell with so many unexpected things happening. I have so little time now so I’m begging you for some suggestions of:

-very easy to make lunch foods or party foods that taste decent that are pre prepared
-games suitable for all ages
-some things to keep the kids occupied while the adults have a bit of a relax and chat
-a lovely Christmas cocktail recipe (preferably one that I can make in a jog and serve easily)

I would go to Aldi/Lidl/your supermarket of choice and just buy ready- prepared food there, together with drink options. A good non-alcoholic drink is orange juice and ginger ale, mixed. It makes the orange juice go a lot further and is less sickly sweet than orange and lemonade, for example. With any luck the supermarket will also have some entertainment options/games for the children as well. Just something like Uno might keep them occupied. Or, depending on age, maybe get them to make their own Christmas decorations or cards. Beware of glitter!
