What to Do On Christmas Day: 10 Thoughtful and Creative Ideas

Christmas Day is a particular time of the year. Whether you gather with family and friends or enjoy it alone, Christmas day is the perfect opportunity to show your love and appreciation for those around you. But sometimes, it can be challenging to create Christmas activities that will keep everyone entertained and make the holiday more memorable.

If you’re looking for some Christmas Day activity ideas, here are 10 thoughtful and creative suggestions:

1. Christmas Movie Marathon

Pick out your favourite Christmas classics and have a movie marathon! Pop some popcorn, grab some hot chocolate, cuddle up on the couch, and get ready to watch your favourites from Christmas past, like Home Alone, Elf, Christmas Vacation, and more!

2. Christmas Karaoke

Christmas carolling is a time honoured Christmas tradition that adds holiday cheer to the air! Pick your favourite Christmas songs, grab some Christmas props (like antlers or Santa hats!) and get ready to serenade your family with festive tunes.

3. Christmas Lights Tour

Take a night drive around town, exploring all the beautiful Christmas light displays people have worked hard on putting together! It will be a great way to enjoy the season’s beauty without leaving the house.

4. Christmas Movie Night

This one only requires an old white bedsheet and a projector! Hang up the sheet in front of a window and watch Christmas movies and cartoons right on the window! It’s a great way to enjoy Christmas movies without wasting valuable space in front of your TV.

5. Christmas Board Game Night

Board games are always a hit, no matter what time of year. Gather all your family’s favourite board games and play them together around the Christmas tree! You can make Christmas-y snacks like cookies or snowman hot cocoa for added holiday fun!

6. Christmas Cooking Challenge

If you’re looking for something more hands on, try a Christmas cooking challenge. It’s fun to get creative and bring the Christmas spirit into the kitchen! You can pick out Christmas recipes together or even make up your own Christmas dishes to try.

7. Christmas Crafts

Get creative and make Christmas crafts! Use Christmas cards, fabric scraps, ribbons, buttons, and more to make festive ornaments, wreaths, gifts, and other Christmas decor! Getting your family members involved in the Christmas spirit will be fun.

8. Christmas Scavenger Hunt

Kids love scavenger hunts! Hide Christmas presents around the house with clues to help them find each one. If you want an extra challenge, add a timer, so they have to see all the gifts quickly!

9. Halloween Trick or Treating

This might sound like an odd idea, but it can be a lot of fun! Instead of going door to door for Christmas, go in full Halloween costumes and ask for Christmas presents instead of candy. It’ll be a unique Christmas experience.

10. Christmas Concert

Gather your family around the living room and have a Christmas concert! Take turns singing Christmas carols or playing Christmas songs on musical instruments. It’ll bring your Christmas Day celebration to life!
