the holidays are right around the corner and we’re loving the early christmas magic this year! from thanksgiving to christmas + new year, our crew is passionate about creating memories that last and the timeless ones always involve a delicious treat. with a little creativity, even in the craziest year will be filled with wonderful memories and i’m thrilled to be sharing some of our favorites with you!
5 creative holiday traditions for families
hot cocoa + ice cream picnic
this is top at the list for our crew and for good reason! a few pillows + blankets in the back of our truck paired with our favorite treats like the Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Bars.. the giggles + smiles are contagious. we talk about christmas lists for Santa, what reindeer eat and how we may give to others this time of year. it truly winds up being one of my favorite traditions… simply unplugged hangs with these sweet cheeks!
bundled winter nature scavenger hunt
bundle those babes up and head out for a winter nature scavenger hunt! feel the chilly air, crunchy leaves on the ground, the smell of fires in the fireplaces and search for pinecones on the ground. challenge your kids to find one ‘winter item’ with each of their senses… and at the end of every good scavenger hunt is, of course, a yummy snack waiting!
christmas movie night in jams
while this isn’t the most creative one on the list, it simply can’t be the holiday season without a good ole’ christmas movie! so get cozy on the couch with your matching family christmas jams and snuggle up to enjoy a classic!
getting your kids involved in giving
from making decorations for a nursing home to an individually wrapped snack box for delivery drivers, get your kids involved in the gift of giving this year to help teach them the reason for the season and spread some holiday cheer! need some more ideas? you can check out our 10 ways to give back this holiday season here!
christmas eve boxes
another fan favorite in our house.. christmas eve boxes! the kids are all so excited about Santa coming that we chose to allow them one present to open together on christmas eve. the kids open their boxes which always includes christmas jams, a christmas movie, hot cocoa and a holiday story. they put their jams on then watch a holiday classic with hot cocoa, read a christmas story and climb in to bed excitedly awaiting Santa’s arrival.
