Sparkling new holiday traditions will keep your home delightful this season. There’s still time to add one or more of these festive ideas to your family’s favorites to create some lasting holiday memories.
Reverse Advent Calendar
Instead of receiving something each day, fill a box with one item a day to donate (food, toys, or clothes). Involve your kids by letting them pick out items or decorate the box. By Christmas Eve, you’ll have a donation ready to share with those in need.
DIY Ornament Creation Day
Set aside a day to create homemade ornaments together. Use natural items like pinecones or salt dough, or try paper ornaments with glitter and stickers. Each year, pull out your family’s handmade collection to decorate the tree.
Memory Garland
Each year, cut out paper strips and have everyone write down their favorite memory from the past year. Loop the strips into a paper garland to hang on the tree or mantel. Over the years, you’ll build a chain of cherished moments.
Family Volunteer Day
Pick one day during the holiday season to volunteer together as a family—whether at a food pantry, animal shelter, or community event. It’s a wonderful way to teach kids about giving back and makes the holiday season feel extra meaningful.
"Holiday Movie Picnic" Night
Instead of eating at the table, have a family picnic by the Christmas tree. Spread a blanket on the floor, eat festive treats, and watch your favorite holiday movies.
