The festive holidays are a time for family, friends, and fun. It's a time to celebrate all that we are thankful for. For kids, it can be especially exciting to experience the holidays for the first time. There are so many things you can do to make the season special for your little ones! In this blog post, we will discuss eight ideas that will help make this holiday season unforgettable for your kids!

Start a New Tradition

Traditions are such an important part of the holidays. They help to make the season feel unique and special. If you don't have any holiday traditions yet, now is the perfect time to start some! You could do something as simple as decorating gingerbread houses together or watching holiday movies as a family. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something your kids will enjoy and look forward to every year.

Get Them Involved in Gift Giving

One of the best parts of the Christmas holidays is giving gifts to loved ones. But sometimes, it can be hard to find the perfect present. Why not involve your kids in the gift-giving process? This way, they can help pick out presents for their grandparents, cousins, or friends. They'll feel so proud and excited to give a gift that they helped choose!

Make Some Holiday-Themed Crafts

Craft time is always a fun activity for kids. And during the holidays, there are so many festive crafts you can do! You could make decorations for the Christmas tree, gingerbread houses, or even design your own wrapping paper. There are endless possibilities! Not only will your kids have fun doing this activity, but they'll also be able to take pride in their finished products.

Go Ice Skating or Sledding

What better way to enjoy the winter weather than by going ice skating or sledding? These activities are sure to get your kids moving and laughing, and better still all the family can join together and have great fun. And they'll love spending time outdoors in the snow!

Bake Holiday Cookies Together

Baking cookies is a classic holiday activity. And it's even more fun when you do it with your kids! They'll love getting their hands dirty as they mix the ingredients and roll out the dough. You can get an assortment of cutters for them to enjoy and they'll be so excited to eat their finished products. It's a win-win!

Take Them Shopping for New Holiday Clothes

One of the best parts of the holidays is getting all dressed up in festive clothes. If your kids don't have any special holiday outfits yet, take them shopping! They'll love picking out a new outfit to wear to all of the holiday parties. And you can even get them matching outfits for the whole family! Make it a very special day out and book a hotel in the city to make it extra special. Aldgate is a great location for a hotel, because it's central and has great transport links.

Have a Holiday Movie Marathon

What better way to spend a cold winter day than snuggled up on the couch watching holiday movies? You could make it into a marathon and watch all of your kids' favorite Christmas movies. Or you could mix things up and include some holiday classics that they've never seen before. Either way, they're sure to have a blast, especially with some yummy festive treats to hand too!

Go Caroling Together

Caroling is such a fun and festive activity! And it's even more fun when you do it with your children. They'll love singing all of their favorite Christmas songs. And you might even get some neighbours to join in with the fun! You'll at least be offered an enjoyable mulled wine or festive cookie for your troubles.


The holiday season is a magical time of year. And there are so many ways to make it special for your kids. Try out some of these ideas and you're sure to create some lasting memories and have great fun in the process.
