Christmas Holiday Activity Ideas

Not sure what to do during the Christmas holidays?

You’re in the right place! The Christmas holidays are the perfect time to slow down, spend time with the people you love and enjoy cosy activities at home.

With two weeks off, however, there will probably be a moment when someone asks: “What shall we do today?” Luckily, there are plenty of festive activities to choose from. From Christmas baking and winter walks to making your own DIY Christmas decorations or starting a creative project together.

At Little Creations, we love using the festive season as an excuse to get creative. Whether you’re looking for Christmas craft ideas for adults, something fun to do with the family or simply a relaxing afternoon at home, we’ve gathered plenty of inspiration to keep you busy throughout the Christmas break.

10 Fun Things to Do During the Christmas Holidays

  1. Have a Christmas film marathon – Settle in with classics like Love Actually, The Holiday or Home Alone and enjoy a cosy movie day.
  2. Go for a winter walk – Wrap up warm, admire the Christmas lights and treat yourself to a hot chocolate along the way.
  3. Visit a Christmas market – Enjoy festive treats, browse for small gifts and soak up the cheerful atmosphere.
  4. Do some Christmas baking – Try your hand at cinnamon rolls, mince pies or classic gingerbread biscuits.
  5. Go ice skating – Whether it’s at a local rink or, if you’re lucky, outdoors, it’s a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit.
  6. Listen to or sing Christmas songs – Make a shared playlist or host a fun karaoke night with friends and family.
  7. Have a games night – Bring out your favourite board games or host a festive pub-style quiz at home.
  8. Play Christmas film bingo – Create bingo cards with typical Christmas movie moments like “snow”, “a mistletoe kiss”, or “a last-minute dash to the airport”.
  9. Organise a gift exchange – Try Secret Santa or a fun white elephant swap for some light-hearted laughter.
  10. Take an evening stroll to see the Christmas lights – Wander through your neighbourhood to admire the twinkling decorations and festive displays.

Get Creative This Christmas

There’s nothing better than spending a winter afternoon getting creative. Put on your comfiest pyjamas, make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, and enjoy a mindful moment of crafting. You could make your own Christmas decorations, create something for your home or make a personal present for someone special. Homemade Christmas decorations add an extra personal touch to your festive interior, while DIY Christmas gifts are a lovely way to give someone something more thoughtful than a standard present.

Make your own Christmas decorations

Why buy every decoration when you can make some of them yourself? Handmade Christmas decorations instantly make your home feel more personal and give you a lovely creative activity at the same time.

At Little Creations, you can make your own Christmas ring with Gnomes, create a cosy Mood Light or decorate your own wooden Christmas houses. Make just one house as a festive detail, or create several and build your own little Christmas village for a windowsill, mantelpiece or table.

The Christmas ring combines festive greenery, lights and handmade gnomes, while the Mood Light creates a warm glow that looks lovely in a cosy corner of your home. The Christmas houses are completely customisable, so you can decorate each one in your own style.

These Christmas craft kits for adults are perfect if you want to make Christmas decorations at home and add a personal touch to your festive interior.

Creative fun without the fuss for children

Children are naturally creative, especially during the holidays. But as a parent, you don’t always have time to gather all the materials yourself. That’s why our kids’ craft boxes are ready to use straight out of the box.

For the Christmas holidays, children can get creative with our ice skating rink craft kit, a fun winter project they can build and decorate themselves. Our wooden Christmas houses are also a lovely option, especially for older children and teenagers. They can decorate their own house or make several together to create a festive Christmas village.

And of course, there are plenty of other creative projects to choose from in our children’s craft collection. From colourful decorations to imaginative craft kits, there’s something for different ages and interests. Each kit is designed to make crafting easy, fun and creative during the Christmas break.
