Hey there, Christmas-loving crew!
Ready to sprinkle a little extra magic into the most wonderful time of the year? 🎄 I've rounded up a few holiday activities that could easily become your new favorite family traditions (you’re welcome). Whether you sneak these into a random night on the calendar for family game night or stash the supplies in a fun Christmas Eve box—you’ll be winning Christmas before it even starts.

Play Together

So, have you ever dipped your toes (or timer) into the world of holiday minute-to-win-it games? If not, brace yourself. These 60-second challenges are a total hit with kids—and grown-ups who are still kids at heart. You might even find yourself doing them every year (whether the kids want to or not, just sayin'). Not a fan of the one-minute craze? No worries, I’ve got a stash of Christmas party games that are just as jolly. Oh, and heads-up, the entire Christmas game bundle is on sale—because savings are always in season!

Got a party coming up? Look no further for group games, adult party shenanigans, office games, and holiday games that could easily be played year-round (because who says Christmas fun can’t last all year?!)

Craft Together

If your kiddo is obsessed with a Christmas Elf, get the glue sticks and glitter ready! We’ve got some festive Elf crafts that are more fun than watching your Elf try to pull off a snow angel in powdered sugar. Want to share the meaning of the season? Take these Jesus Birthday Crafts to your Sunday School, home school, or family devotional time.

Need more crafty inspiration? Swing by the Dollar Tree and grab some supplies for these super budget-friendly Dollar Store Christmas Crafts. Still have extra Popsicle sticks lying around? Turn them into a Christmas fun jar bucket list and let the holiday adventures begin.

Bake Together

Cookies, anyone? 🍪 Get your sugar fix with these Christmas cookie ideas, or try your hand at making a birthday cake for Jesus —bonus points if you leave a slice for Santa (plus a carrot for the reindeer, naturally). Feeling adventurous? Take the kids on a grocery store scavenger hunt to gather the goods for our easy chocolate chip cookies. Because nothing says holiday cheer like turning the baking aisle into your own personal obstacle course.

From baked goods to random acts of kindness -While you're at it, print out this cute note and leave a sweet treat for your hardworking USPS, FedEx, and UPS drivers. They deserve some love for hauling your last-minute gift orders!

Pray Together

It's never too late to dive into the heart of Christmas with an Advent calendar! Get crafty with free Advent calendar stickers, or check out these easy-to-read Bible verses that walk kids through the story of Jesus. Whether you’ve got an Elf, a Shepherd on a Search, or neither—these verses are a great way to remind the fam of the reason for the season. Something new this year and totally awesome (I don't know why we all aren't doing it) is a Jesse Tree. This unique activity for kids goes from Genesis to the Gospels telling the story and lineage of Jesus. Such a cool craft.

Merry Christmas (season) to you and yours! 🎁
