The holidays present a unique opportunity for friends and family members to slow down, take any lingering vacation days, and enjoy fun Christmas activities together.
Of course there's no shortage of longstanding Christmas traditions, both religious and otherwise, to look forward to, starting with counting down the days to the 25th of December (wine advent calendars, anyone?) and leading right up to the whole family waking up on Christmas morning in matching pajamas, if that's your thing.
Even if you don't live in a snowy climate ripe for Christmas activities like sledding or sipping mulled wine with a holiday-themed book in front of the fire, you can still enjoy all the season has to offer. No matter where your interests lie, you're sure to find something to do that evokes that warm, fuzzy feeling the entire season is so well known for.
You'll find the inspiration you need on this list of Christmas activities that are anything but boring—even if you're staying home all day. Bake a winter dessert (like sugar or gingerbread cookies) as a family, play a Christmas game (looking for an adults-only option? Consider a Hallmark movie drinking game), sneak in some quality couple time binging romantic holiday films, or surprise the toddlers and kids with a a make-and-go DIY hot chocolate bar before an outing to browse all the light displays in your neighborhood. (And the answer to the million dollar question is yes, nearly everything on this list can be done with social distancing measures in mind.) Here's 50 fun things to do in the Christmas 2020 season.
