As the elite athletes of nations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe gather in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8 to go for the gold, the majority of the world will be watching from afar. And what better way to appreciate the communal competition and cheer for your country than to throw your own Olympics party? Here are some ideas to get you started, from decorations to delicious drinks and dishes and more. If you are looking for a party with a little punch, try this Firecracker Punch recipe from Betty Crocker. This drink delivers a surprising kick from an unexpected ingredient: cinnamon candies. The punch is alcohol-free, so everyone can enjoy it, but you can easily add a little gin, vodka or whisky for any grown-ups wanting to punch it up a little more.
