There’s Something in the Air
Christmas is just around the corner, and there’s something truly special in the air — the smell of cakes baking, the twinkle of lights, and that warm feeling that makes everyone smile a little brighter. 🎄
It’s the most loved and cherished time of the year — when families come together, when laughter fills every corner, and when hearts feel lighter. The season of cosy movie nights, hot chocolate, gifts, carols, and joy!
I still remember how, when I was little, I used to dress up as Santa Claus every Christmas. I would wear red clothes, and my brother would help me make a fluffy white beard out of cotton. Then I’d fill a small bag with chocolates and toffees and distribute them to everyone at home. Sometimes we baked cakes, played music, and even had a little pizza party!
Those moments are still fresh in my heart — warm memories that I’ll carry forever. And maybe, that’s what Christmas is all about — creating memories that stay long after the lights are taken down.
So this year, let’s create that same magic again — with fun, laughter, and family time!
Here are some fun Christmas activities that kids (and even parents!) can enjoy together.
1. Dress Up as Santa Claus 🎅
Nothing spreads joy faster than a little Santa at home!
Find a red T-shirt, a paper hat, and make a cotton beard just like I did as a kid.
Then fill a small bag with candies or homemade cookies — and surprise your family members with tiny gifts.
💡 Tip: Parents can join in by creating a mini “Santa Parade” at home with kids leading the fun!
2. Bake Together — Cookies, Cakes & More
Christmas and baking go hand in hand! Let kids help mix, stir, or decorate. You can bake simple cupcakes, sugar cookies, or a chocolate cake together.
💡 Tip: Make it a little competition — who can decorate the funniest cookie?
3. Make Handmade Christmas Cards
Bring back the joy of personal touch!
Give your child some paper, glitter, and crayons and let them make handmade cards for friends, grandparents, or neighbours.
💌 Add a sweet note like: “You make my Christmas brighter!”
4. DIY Christmas Decorations
Turn your home into a magical workshop!
You can:
-
Cut paper snowflakes ❄️
-
Make pine cone ornaments 🌲
-
String popcorn garlands 🍿
-
Create stars from cardboard and glitter ✨
💡 Tip: Hang handmade decorations on your tree — it makes the celebration even more personal.
5. Storytime Under the Tree
Gather under the glowing Christmas tree with hot cocoa and read stories aloud.
Read The Night Before Christmas or stories from Majestic Book Club’s Story Books that tell tales through beautiful illustrations.
💡 Bonus Idea: Kids can make up their own Christmas story — full of elves, stars, and adventures!
6. Family Movie Night
Get cozy under a blanket, pop some popcorn, and turn your living room into a cinema.
Movies to watch together:
-
Home Alone
-
The Polar Express
-
Klaus
-
Arthur Christmas
-
The Grinch
💡 Tip: Create a “movie menu” — kids can choose which one to watch each night leading up to Christmas!
7. Christmas Karaoke & Dance Party
Turn on your favourite Christmas songs — Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, We Wish You a Merry Christmas — and sing along together.
Add a little dance session after dinner — because joy sounds better with music! 🎵
💡 Activity Idea: Let kids make homemade microphones out of foil or paper rolls for extra fun.
8. Write a Letter to Santa
Even if you don’t post it, the fun lies in writing!
Ask kids to write what they want from Santa — but also something kind they’d like to do for others.
💌 Keep these letters safe — they make beautiful memories to look back on next year.
9. Puzzle & Game Night
Bring out Majestic Book Club’s puzzles — like the Solar System Puzzle, Human Body Puzzle, or the festive Christmas Puzzle!
Family puzzle nights are a great way to bond and challenge each other while learning new things.
💡 Tip: Celebrate with a round of hot chocolate once the puzzle is complete!
10. Acts of Kindness
The most meaningful part of Christmas is giving — not gifts, but kindness. ❤️
Encourage kids to do small good deeds:
-
Share toys with friends
-
Help set the dinner table
-
Feed a stray animal
-
Say something nice to everyone at home
💡 Tip: Create a “Kindness Tree” — hang paper stars with each good deed written on them.
