50 Christmas Activities to Fill Your Holiday With Safe, Festive Fun

This holiday season may still not be normal, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be every bit as fun as holidays past. Indeed, if we’ve learned anything from the past two years, it’s how to be creative in finding new ways to enjoy ourselves. While reduced travel and smaller gathering may make your holidays look a little bit different, they can still feel festive as ever with a few of our favorite activities that are sure to introduce some joy and cheer.

Traditional holiday activities are still on the table like Christmas tree decorating, a festive holiday dinner or brunch, and Christmas movie nights. We're also so excited to bake Christmas cookies and other holiday desserts for cookie swaps and snacking and spending some time curled up with a good book or some games next to the Christmas tree. And if traveling short distances is still an option for you, pack up the car for a fun day trip, hit the slopes for some snow tubing, or head into town for a relaxing staycation. Plus, we can't forget about all the Christmas crafting, like DIY ornaments, paper snowflakes, and cookie decorating.

Whether you’re looking to host a last-minute get-together (virtual or in-person) or just in search of easy to keep yourself amused during your time off, check out the holiday activities we’d recommend to fill your holiday with mirth and get ready for a fun-filled, festive holiday season.
