Have you already said yes? Then, IMO, you can't.

If you haven't, though, you can always say that you are busy. You
are not required to give a reason. If it's during December, you can say
that you are busy, you know the holidays, and leave it at that.
Otherwise, we are busy is a fine response. In the future, though, why
not head it off with a game night, and make it potluck, so you can bring
something, but still visit their home. With games playing, maybe the
husband will be less of a jerk, or at least you will have an excuse not
to converse too much. If you don't like games, a movie night also
works. I suggest this for at their home only because you may hurt her
feelings if you never go to their place and they always come to yours.

Regards,
Ranee
