Christmas activities to do with your family

Whether you are hosting your family for Christmas or looking for ways to help your kids burn energy, we have you covered with Christmas activities to do with your family. Enjoy this special season and make memories with those you love. Christmas only comes once a year!

Look at Christmas lights

Load up your family and head around town to look at lights. Play your favorite Christmas music and bring along hot chocolate to enjoy. This activity could even turn into carpool karaoke!

Make a gingerbread house 

Buy a gingerbread kit or make your own using your favorite gingerbread recipe. Be sure to also buy your favorite candy and frosting! 

Make snowflakes 

Using printer paper and scissors, you and your family can make DIY snowflakes to hang around the house. Along with paper and scissors, you’ll also need a ruler and pencil. Begin by folding your paper diagonally. Next, cut off the excess paper at the bottom. Then fold the paper in half and thirds. Flatten the paper and cut off the points. Using the pencil, draw a design on the folded paper. Use an “x” to mark the space you do not want to cut. Get to snipping and cut around the design. Unfold the paper and see your snowflake! 

Have a Christmas movie night 

Bring out your favorite Christmas movies and pop the popcorn! To make this night even more fun, have your family wear their Christmas pajamas. 

Bake Christmas cookies

Use your favorite recipe to bake cookies with your family. Use this time to share favorite Christmas memories with each other. Once they’ve cooled, enjoy your cookies with milk by the fire. 

This Christmas season, create new memories with your family or continue traditions. We pray this season you are surrounded by your loved ones and experience the hope and life that is found in Jesus.
