Whether you’re staying cosy indoors or enjoying the cool air, there are countless ways to make the holidays magical for children and adults alike. From crafting to cooking and everything in between, these ideas will help you fill your festive calendar with intentional fun.

If you don’t know where to start, don’t worry - there are plenty of creative, wholesome family activities to bring everyone closer this holiday season!

DECORATE YOUR HOME

Nothing says the holidays are here like transforming your home into a festive wonderland. The magic of unpacking ornaments - each carrying a story or memory - sets the tone for the season. This year, invite the whole family to join in. Let the kids take charge of arranging fairy lights, of course! Will it be the elegance of white lights or the cheerful chaos of colours? The choice becomes part of the fun.

There’s no reason to stop at just the basics. Crafting homemade decorations can add a personal touch that store-bought trimmings just can’t match. Gather paper, glue, glitter and ribbons, and turn an afternoon into a flurry of creativity. Older kids might relish intricate projects like detailed paper snowflakes, while younger ones will adore the hands-on messiness of salt dough ornaments or the simplicity of paper chains. While you’re in decorating mode, why not create a festive corner with props and decorations for some family photos. You’ll capture snapshots of laughter and silliness that kids will get hours of fun out of.
