Big List of Family Christmas Activities

Big List of Fun Family Christmas Activities

One of my biggest traditions every year is to pick up Christmas ornaments from wherever we travel. It makes for extra special family time as we decorate the tree and remember all the adventures we have been on together. We also bake Monkey Bread on Christmas morning and almost always burn our fingers because we can’t wait for the cinnamon goo to cool down.

These traditions make the holidays great! I collected some of my favorite family Christmas activities below for you to use as a bucket list while the kids are off school for Winter Break. Ideas for things to do to keep them busy (trust me, I get how hard that can be) – and ideas for perhaps some new traditions you can add to your repertoire.

Merry Christmas!
