The holiday season is a time for family, joy, and togetherness. For parents, it’s also the perfect opportunity to create cherished memories with their children. Spending quality time together during the festive break is not only fun, but it also strengthens family bonds and passes down traditions that can last a lifetime. Here are some enjoyable and meaningful activities that parents can do with their children during the Christmas holidays. 

1. Bake Holiday Treats Together

Baking can sometimes get a bit messy-make sure you’re prepared with iD’s protective pads, perfect for staying dry and comfortable while you enjoy baking with the family. Parents can share traditional family recipes, creating a delicious way to pass on family history.

2. Create Handmade Ornaments 

Making ornaments together is a creative way for parents and children to bond while adding a personal touch to the holiday decor.

3. Write Letters to Santa (or to Each Other)

Writing letters to Santa is a classic activity for children, but parents can join in the fun too! Help your children craft their letters, asking what they’re most excited for and what they wish for others. Alternatively, write letters to each other to be opened on Christmas morning. These can be filled with loving words, favorite memories from the year, or heartfelt messages, creating a beautiful holiday keepsake. 

4. Go on a Holiday Lights Walk

For outdoor adventures like holiday light walks, iD products offer reliable protection so you can focus on enjoying the magic of the moment with your children. Wonderful way for parents to spend some quality outdoor time together. You can even make a game out of it by creating a scavenger hunt – see who can find the most reindeer or spot a snowman first! 

5. Host a Family Movie Marathon

Watching these films together is a wonderful way to slow down, relax, and enjoy each other’s company while soaking in the holiday spirit.

6. Create a Memory Scrapbook

Creating a memory scrapbook is a fantastic way to document the holiday season. Print out photos, collect keepsakes like ticket stubs or drawings, and put them all together in a scrapbook. Let the children help by adding captions, stickers, or drawings. Parents can share stories from their past holidays, helping kids connect with family traditions. This scrapbook will serve as a cherished memory for years to come. 

7. Read Holiday Stories Together

Reading is a great way to calm down after an exciting day. Choose classic holiday stories and take turns reading them aloud. Parents can share some of their favorite childhood books and introduce new ones. Reading together encourages a love of literature and creates special moments of connection, especially when everyone is cozied up by the fireplace. 

8. Plan a Holiday Scavenger Hunt

Create a scavenger hunt for the children to find small gifts or treats hidden around the house. Parents can work together to come up with clues, and children can use their detective skills to find the surprises. It’s a fun activity that keeps the kids engaged and adds a little adventure to the holiday festivities. 

9. Make Homemade Holiday Cards

Crafting holiday cards together is a wonderful way to spread joy. Parents can guide their children in making cards for other family members, friends, or even neighbors. Let the kids get creative with drawing, gluing, and adding personal messages. These handmade cards are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face and are a thoughtful way to involve children in the act of giving.

10. Sing Christmas Carols

Nothing says holiday fun like singing carols or having a dance party in the living room. Sing some classic carols together or turn on your favorite festive playlist and dance to the tunes. Parents can teach traditional songs while the kids add their own dance moves, filling the home with laughter and cheer.
