Christmas is the probably most awaited time of the year. The month of December is often known as the season of festivity. Everyone is planning what to do this holiday season. Some people may visit their relatives living in another state, see drive-thru Christmas lights in their area, some may be planning a northern lights cruise to make Christmas more special, while others may just want to stay cozy at home and see the snow from their window. There are endless things that you can do in your winter holidays, and we have provided some ideas listed below.

 

Go out to see the Christmas lights and festivals

If you don’t feel like making the trip to a Christmas light switch-on celebration, take a stroll in your neighborhood to look for festive lighting displays. Compile a list of the houses you observe that have white lights and those that have different colored lights as a family. You may even play I Spy to see how many Christmas trees you can find in people’s house windows.

Take a trip outside, whether it’s to your garden or the neighborhood park, and construct a fantastical snowman with your family if you’re fortunate enough to have any snow over the Christmas season. All you have to do is grab a pair of mittens, put on your wellies, get cozy, and start creating. Do not forget to include an additional scarf and a carrot for your winter-themed creation’s nose.

 

Do some art and craft this Christmas

Together with friends or family, host a Christmas craft party. Simply decide on some fun crafts to make, like these paper plate Christmas masks or mason jar snow globes. Make sure you have all the necessary materials, snacks, and refreshments, and then set a time and date. Even better, organize a competition and plan awards for the winner.

 

Plan fun games for the family

Without engaging in a game with your family, Christmas wouldn’t be the same. For those with a competitive nature, board games like Cluedo, Scrabble, and Monopoly are good options. Try Trivia, Pictionary, or other indoor ideas if you enjoy playing team games. If you’re feeling very inventive, you might create this Christmas tree bowling game out of used toilet paper rolls or plastic bottles, or you could use our poke-a-pumpkin game instructions to create a Christmas tree instead.

 

Organize a scavenger hunt

Scavenger hunts are enjoyable activities to undertake at home, particularly when it’s chilly and rainy outside. Make a list of items to look for, such as an ugly Christmas sweater, a red ornament, or your all-time favorite gift. Alternatively, the hunt organizer may hide several clues about the house, which everyone would then have to look for together. A secret message or some delectable Christmas delicacies could be the final prize.

 

Do some baking together

There are many additional Christmas-themed snacks you can prepare, some of our favorites being these Snowman-inspired cookies and Christmas tree-shaped biscuits. Make large quantities of your products and distribute them to neighbors, relatives, and friends to further spread the joy. This is a beautiful present and a fantastic, simple method to assist those in need.

 

Watch Christmas movies

A traditional Christmas movie watched from the comfort of your own couch is unbeatable. Make it a December family weekend tradition and let everyone choose their favorite holiday movie. Making a hot chocolate, selecting some sweets from a selection box, and choosing a position on the sofa are the only preparations required. Take turns picking a movie to watch while you all savor some delectable holiday treats.
