Lights Displays at a Christmas Tree
A big part of the Christmas experience for kids is seeing the light display at a Christmas tree.
Make sure to go out and get a beautiful tree this year, and set up the holiday lights while your family is enjoying a festive dinner.
Or, you can set up the lights together as a family activity the night before Christmas. Either way, having the tree lit up and the lights dancing will be a cherished memory for your children.
Festive Activity Day
Christmas is the time for family fun, and what better way to get everyone involved than by hosting a holiday activity day?
You can choose something simple like a game of tag or a treasure hunt, or you can get a little more creative and have your family compete in a gingerbread house building contest or decorating contest.
It is going to be a wonderful time filled with laughs and memories for your kids, and they will never forget it.
A Family Christmas Present Exchange
One of the best parts of Christmas is getting wrapped up in the excitement of finding a gift for someone else. This year, make it a family tradition to exchange Christmas presents together.
You can choose to do this as a group activity the night before Christmas, or you can take it one step further and have each family member bring a present to the dinner table on Christmas day.
Either way, this will be an amazing experience for your kids, and they will love getting to know each other better during the holiday season.
Trip to a Christmas Wonderland
Christmas is all about the holiday spirit, and what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by spending a day in a festive Wonderland?
From Santa’s Village to the Ice Skating Rink, there are plenty of magical places to visit during your family Christmas trip.
Not only will your kids have a blast, but they will also learn about the holiday season in a fun and exciting way.
Visiting Santa Claus at the Mall
There is nothing like getting up close and personal with Santa Claus at the mall. This year, make sure to schedule a special trip to the mall, so your kids can see him in person.
You can even have Santa deliver your children’s presents to their homes while you are there!
This is an experience your kids will never forget, and it is going to be an exciting story to tell their friends about from Christmas break.
Amusement Park Trip
Christmas is all about spending time with family, and what better way to do that than by going to an amusement park?
There are plenty of amusement parks open during the Christmas season, so you can choose whichever one is closest to you.
Not only will your kids have a blast, but they will also learn about the holiday season in a fun and exciting way.
Make Cookies for Santa
Cookies are the perfect way to show Santa Claus how much you appreciate him this year.
Try to involve your kids in the cookie-making process by having them help measure ingredients and mix the dough.
You will have a delicious batch of cookies waiting for Santa Claus when he arrives at your house on Christmas morning.
Attend a Christmas Eve Service
It is always a special experience to attend a Christmas Eve service. Not only will you get to celebrate the holiday with your family, but you will also get to see the Christmas story come to life.
Choose a service that is close to your home, so you can easily attend. Christmas holiday spirit will be in the air when you leave the service.
Holiday Away from Home
If you’re looking for a special Christmas experience, why not spend it away from home? Head to a family-friendly hotel or resort and enjoy a festive season all by yourself.
You will have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the company of your loved ones when you get back. It’s the perfect way to spend Christmas.
