Visit your local theater
In most cities around the world, Christmas-themed theater performances are organized. Investigate the options available in your area and take part in a show that suits your family’s interests.
You can also look for puppet shows, musicals or other special Christmas activities at local theaters or cultural centers in your city.
Baking course
Another activity that is perfect for Christmas is to introduce the children to the world of baking art. Sign up for a course where they can learn how to make gingerbread, muffins, hot chocolate and other traditionally Christmas goodies.
Cooking and baking is a great way for your kids to spend time together and feel proud of their own tasty creations.
Go to an amusement park
If your family wants to visit an amusement park in the near future, we suggest you go in December. You can then see the park decorated with Christmas decorations, Christmas lights, Christmas colors and sparkling splendor that will surely fascinate the whole family.
Plan ahead to see what special Christmas activities are available to make this an experience to remember. Do not miss any of these experiences:
- Meet Santa Claus!
- Parades down the park’s main street, often complete with fireworks and famous divers
- Candles, Christmas music, Christmas lights and Christmas stories – take part in the atmosphere
- Magical light shows in the evening
Take a trip to the zoo
Visiting the zoo and seeing all the animals is also a great way to keep your kids busy during the Christmas holidays. If your children have animal-themed costumes, this is a good excuse for them to use them.
Some zoos also offer courses or special Christmas activities during the Christmas holidays.
Do Christmas crafts together as a family
Put your creativity to the test by making Christmas decorations, decorations and Christmas cards using materials you already have around the house.
You can make Christmas trees with cardboard and fabric, decorate glass or plastic containers to give as gifts to your friends or cut out stars that you can decorate with glue and glitter.
You can also try to make snowmen, collages and gift boxes from recyclable materials. Children’s eyes twinkle as they fill the house with their own Christmas decorations!
Visit a farmhouse
Another great activity for the Christmas holidays is to go with your children to a farm. If no one in the family has a farm or if you do not know a friend who has one, you can look for other farms nearby that welcome visitors, either for free or for a fee.
Your children will love seeing the animals, spending time outdoors and learning about everything that has to do with farming. And above all, you create special memories as a family!
Other Christmas activities to enjoy with your little ones
Do not let rain, snow or low temperatures dampen your desire for adventure! Check out what other exciting options are offered in your area and give your children the Christmas break they deserve.
Bring them to listen to a storyteller in your local library, skate, go to the circus or why not act out your own Christmas theater? You can also see what the museums nearby have for exhibitions, buy Christmas presents and decorations or even just drive a car to see the Christmas lights all over the city.
There are endless possibilities to make Christmas a magical time for you and your family. Remember that the time you spend with your children is the best investment you can make.
