The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with our loved ones. Here are a few activities to do at home with your family so that no one gets bored during the holidays.
One-of-a-kind recipes
It’s time to make things that you don’t normally have time to prepare. Hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows? A gingerbread house? Or how about turning yourself into a mixologist and preparing homemade syrups for cocktails or mocktails? If you’re interested, the ITHQ offers online workshops on wines and spirits, including one on making cocktails.
Movie night
Choose a Christmas movie, and make popcorn and a candy bar. Cozy up in the comfort of your living room and dim the lights. You’ll feel like you’re at the movies, but with the advantage of being able to be in your pyjamas. Fun for young and old alike!
Take a stroll and admire the Christmas lights
Christmas lights warm the heart. I suggest you make a nice hot chocolate, bundle up, and go for a walk in your neighborhood to admire the Christmas lights. You can even go on a scavenger hunt with the kids; for example, be the first to find an illuminated snowman or five candy cane decorations.
Camp in front of the tree
Break out the air mattresses and install the whole family in front of the tree to sleep by the glow of the twinkling lights. Take the opportunity to play board games or tell Christmas stories. And the following day, why not stay in your pyjamas and just relax and unwind!
Deliver Christmas gifts
Why not take advantage of the holidays to deliver gourmet gifts or treats to your loved ones’ balconies? Make a Santa or Mrs. Claus of yourself and bring little treats to your loved ones’ doorsteps to surprise them.
Outdoor activities
Why not just go outside and play? Skating, sliding, snowball fights, or snowman sculptures, young and old alike are sure to have a blast!
