party face

Feigned cheerful expression

Party face is the cheerful, sociable expression someone puts on for social gatherings, often masking tiredness or reluctance to be there: I wasn't feeling it, but I put on my party face and went anyway.

The phrase suggests performed enthusiasm rather than genuine excitement.
