The holiday season is just around the
corner, and it’s time to start planning for the festivities! Unfortunately,
there might be some limitations to celebrations this year due to COVID-19, but
that doesn’t mean you and your loved ones can’t still make the most of it. If
you’re looking for ideas on how to have some festive fun this winter, try some
of the suggestions below to get you into a jolly mood for the holidays!
1.
Movie Night
As the weather gets colder and the
days grow shorter, there is no better time to snuggle down on the couch with a
cup of cocoa and enjoy some of your favorite movies. Plan a festive movie night
with all of your holiday favorites
and enjoy the movie marathon with the other members of your household. Live
alone and social distancing? Organize a video chat with your family/friends and
watch the same movies together from the comfort of your homes.
2.
Baking Some Festive
Treats
From gingerbread men to salted caramel
brownies, there are countless recipes for festive treats available online. If
you enjoy spending time in the kitchen and experimenting, discover some new and
interesting recipes this year to indulge in over the holiday season. This is a
great activity to do with the kids, too. If you’re feeling confident, why not
try and build a classic gingerbread house?
3.
Host a Quiz
There have been many a virtual quiz
night hosted this year, and if you have been doing this with your loved ones
during a lockdown you might have become a pro quiz master by now. In the run up
to Christmas, why not host a series of festive quizzes to help you all get in
the mood together? You could even send the winners prizes each week to make the
experience even more fun and exciting.
4.
Fundraising
Having fun with your nearest and
dearest over the holidays is such a special experience, but some people are not
as fortunate and the festive period can be a tough time for them. Consider
getting your friends and family together to raise money for a charity this year
to give something back. Alternatively, you can participate in holiday giving
and make donations to each other’s chosen charity instead of exchanging gifts
this year.
5.
DIY Decorations
This is another great activity for
kids and adults alike. Rather than spending a small fortune on new ornaments
for your tree this year, get together and do some DIY decorations instead. You
can make glittery snowflakes to hang from your ceiling or try something more
challenging like making a garland or wreath to hang from your door. Stick on
your favorite festive hits and enjoy a cup of eggnog as you get creative with
your family. This is another activity that you can do together via video chat
if you do live alone or are separated from friends and relatives that you
usually spend the festive season with.
It might not be the festive experience
you expected this year, but there are still plenty of ways you can get into the
mood this holiday season. Try some of the suggestions above, or look online to
discover more options for festive fun this year.
