20 Festive Activities To Do With Kids On Christmas Eve

It’s the most wonderful time of the year..

I can’t believe Christmas is next week! It always sneaks up on us despite those crazy countdowns people post repost on Facebook in July. I may or may not have posted them before.

As much fun at the Christmas season is as a child, nothing beats being a parent and seeing your own kids experience the magic of the season. There are things my parents did with my brothers and I growing up, that I now do with my own kids.

I thought it would be fun to round some of our favorite Christmas Eve traditions, along with a few others I’d love to try. If you have some now listed here, comment them below and I’ll add them to the list. These can be done in the days before Christmas Eve, too! I think we will get into this list over the weekend!

  1. Make Reindeer Food
  2. Track Santa Here
  3. Watch a Christmas Movie Together
  4. Ice Skating
  5. Read Christmas Stories
  6. Christmas Crafts
  7. Have A Small Gift Exchange
  8. Bake and Decorate Christmas Cookies
  9. Good Deeds Around Town
  10. Watch Old Family Videos
  11. Decorate Gingerbread Houses
  12. Have A Hot Chocolate Bar
  13. Drive Around To Look At Lights
  14. Make Your Own Christmas Popcorn
  15. Have An Outdoor Fire with S’mores
  16. Go Caroling
  17. Volunteer At The Food Pantry
  18. Pick Out One Gift for Each Person To Open
  19. Sledding
  20. Game Night

Someone knows Santa is coming!
