The Christmas season is here and you want fun ideas to do!

To help make your life easier this year, I created a bucket list full of over 100 activities. You can use it as an actual bucket list or just enjoy scrolling through some fun things to do with friends and family before December 25th.

You will find everything from decorating ideas for your home (from simple snowflakes that are easy enough for kids to make) all the way to DIY recipes for Christmas treats.

Who doesn’t love a good list?

This Christmas bucket list is things you can do with your family around the Christmas season to make it more lively and enjoyable.

I made this list for my own kids, but I thought I would share it with you to use it too!

How can you make your Christmas bucket list more fun?

There are many different ways to make your Christmas bucket list more fun.

One way is to focus on new activities that you haven’t done before. Another way is to add food-related activities, which always make Christmas special.

You can also try incorporating some outdoor activities, even if it’s just for a (snowy) day.

And don’t forget about family traditions! They’re a big part of the holidays and can really enhance the experience.

No matter what you do, make sure you enjoy yourself (and not stress yourself out)! The holidays are a time for celebration and should be spent with loved ones. Merry Christmas!

Memorable Christmas Bucket List

While we love the classic Christmas bucket lists, we also are always looking for unique ideas to add to your holiday bucket list.

Some of these out-of-the-box ideas are pretty sweet and you may want to do them year and year again.

You can find everything from baking cookies to attending a German market to spending Christmas at a lodge. No matter what you choose, make sure you keep in touch with your family and friends during the holidays.

1. Go to Mexico. This is one of our Christmas traditions! There is something relaxing about enjoying the beach while Felix Navidad is playing in the background. (Gift hint… all of the beach gifts can be given to be used on the trip.)

2. Book a Wintery Mountain Stay. On the flip side, there is something magical about sipping hot cocoa while by the fireplace when giant snowflakes are falling outside.

3. Participate in a Neighborhood Luminaires Night. Organize one night for all of your neighbors to put luminaries outlining their driveways. It is a symbolic event with neighbors coming together in peace.

4. Roast Chestnuts. Just like in the famous song by Nat King Cole, it is your turn to roast chestnuts on an open fire.

5. Wrap Presents with Friends. For some wrapping presents is fun, for others it is a task. But everything is always sweeter to do with friends, so plan a time to wrap presents with friends. Appetizers and drinks are optional.

6. Order Matching Christmas Pajamas. This is a popular Christmas tradition for most families. Make sure you order your matching Christmas Pajamas in time. Some of my favorite places to find them are Kohl’s, Macy’s, and Amazon.

7. Wear Matching Christmas Pajamas. Depending on the age of your kids and spouse will depend on how well the matching outfits go over. Make sure to snap pictures!!

8. Kiss Under the Mistletoe. This is a fun Christmas tradition for kids and adults. Kids love this because it’s not just kissing their parents on the cheek, but they get to kiss everyone in the room! Adults love this too because it’s a great opportunity to get some alone time with your significant other.

9. Host a Progressive Dinner. This is a great idea to host a fun holiday party. For each course of a meal, you move houses.

• For example, you start at house A for appetizers.
• Then, move to House B for dinner.
• Finally, wrap up at House C for dessert.
• If you have more houses participating, then you can easily stretch to a 7-course meal.

10. Buy Ugly Christmas sweaters. This is a love-hate for many people. Are you totally into buying Christmas sweaters or do you want to shy away? Either way, it is always helpful to have at least one ugly Christmas sweater in your closet.

11. And then host a Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. Time to invite all of your introverted friends for an epic ugly sweater party. The winner walks away with a prize!

12. Go to a Christmas Eve Service. If you’re feeling a little more spiritual, many churches offer Christmas Eve services. If it’s your first time going to one, consider this a good opportunity to introduce the whole family and get them interested in going.

13. Classic Christmas Movie Marathon. This is always a popular idea! Especially one that is next to free to do! Pull up the classic movies and enjoy! I like finding movies on Paramount+.

14. Read Christmas Books. This is another one that is uber-popular in our house! We try to stick with Christmas-only books for the month of December. One of our favorites is JK Rowling’s latest book!

15. Go on River Cruises. The river is a great place to find some peace and quiet. You can go during the day or at night.

16. Stay Downtown. Whether you are looking in another state or in your own city, you’ll find a new adventure.

17. Snowman Building Competition. Set up a snowman building competition in your neighborhood and let the winners decide what charity to donate the money raised! Bragging rites until the next competition is held.

18. Shake a Snowglobe. Maybe even add to your snowglobe collection. There is a great children’s book called Snow Globe Family. That is a super fun read.

Classic Christmas Bucket List Ideas

This is the list you think of when it comes to Christmas things to do!

Whatever you decide to do this holiday season, make sure it’s something that will create memories that will last a lifetime.

19. Bake Christmas Cookies. This is the classic holiday bucket list idea. Here are some of our favorite Christmas cookie recipes.

21. Host a Christmas cookie exchange. Yes, please! Cookie exchanges are the best. In fact, it is one of the most popular Christmas challenges.

22. Go Christmas Caroling. Is it a tradition? Or is it just something that you love to do with your friends and family? Bring joy to your neighborhood or nursing home by singing traditional Christmas carols.

23. Volunteer. This could be serving at a soup kitchen, organizing an event for people who can’t afford gifts to “shop,” or lending a hand to a neighbor in need. Many organizations are looking for help.

24. Build a Snowman. Yes, this is the ultimate idea for families. Make sure you have the snowman supplies to dress up your Frosty the Snowman properly. Don’t forget the carrot nose!

27. Mail Christmas Cards. This may have been a long-standing tradition for many years and slowly making a comeback. You can take Christmas photos just for the occasion or a collage of photos. Order your Christmas cards here.

28. Read Twas the Night Before Christmas. This Christmas classic must be read at least once on Christmas Eve. Grab your copy of the classic book.

29. Find Creative Ideas for Elf of the Shelf. Let’s face it. You jumped on this tradition … hook.line.and.sinker. Now, you must keep up with all of the Pinterest perfect ideas.

Christmas Outdoor Bucket List

Time to get outside and explore. Fresh air is always helpful!

30. Go Sledding. This is a classic bucket list item. Check out a new sledding hill in your neighborhood.

31. Build a Snow Fort. This is personally one of my favorite activities, but Mother Nature must cooperate with tons of snow! Grab some shovels and start building a fort!

32. Snowball Fight Time. Who doesn’t love a good snowball fight?!?! Grab some friends and head out for an epic snowball fight. Even better if you built the snow fort before game time!

33. Go Ice Skating. This is a classic especially if you live in the upper Midwest. There are plenty of recreation centers that make ice skating a reasonable-cost activity.

34. Skiing. Fresh powder sounds like the perfect Christmas tradition. Just make sure to book your ticket early.

35. Plan a Wintery Picnic. Grab a blanket, lunch, some hot cocoa, and your Christmas Pajamas for an outdoor picnic this winter! Make this time special with a special picnic basket to use.

36. Go Snowboarding. Time to shred the slopes. Check out the latest snowboarding gear.

37. Time to Go Tobogganing. What is tobogganing exactly? Much like sledding except you hit the snow-covered slopes and artificial-ice-covered chutes with a toboggan.

38. Give the Gift of Nature. Take your family on an outing to see some beautiful nature! Get out in the fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature.

39. Make a Snow Angel. This is the perfect activity for kids to do. Yet, very calming and peaceful if you decide to get down in the snow and create snow angels.

40. Hunt for the Perfect Live Tree. Grab your permit and go on a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. Make sure to bundle up and wear snow boots!

41. Catch Snowflakes on your Tongue. Regardless of your age, this childhood memory needs to be done yearly for your Christmas bucket list. Drop all of your worries off your shoulders as you catch a snowflake on your tongue.

42 Skate on Outdoor Ice Skating Rinks. Skip the indoor rinks and head outside to skate. Even more romantic if the snow is falling.

43. Create a Winter Wonderland. This one is a do-it-yourself project that doesn’t require any crafting skills.

44. Go for a Holiday Walk. Take some time out of the hustle and bustle by taking a walk outside.

45. Neighborhood Christmas Light Competition. Another great idea is to put your home in a Christmas lights competition! This can be really fun if you have friends and family who live close by. All you need is some creative decorations and an appetite for holiday cheer.

KEY TIP… Plan Your Day Ahead: What are you going to do tomorrow?

How can you make your Christmas bucket list more meaningful?

When it comes to the holidays, many people want to do as much as they can.

The Christmas bucket list is often a great way to make sure that you’re able to check off all of the items on your wish list. But sometimes, we can become overwhelmed by all of the things that we want to do. This year, consider making your bucket list more meaningful by doing activities that will bring you happiness and joy.

Idea #1 – Be Happy

One way to make your Christmas bucket list more meaningful is by only including activities that truly make you happy.

For example, if decorating the tree or going shopping for presents isn’t really your thing, then don’t put them down as items that you have to do this year! Instead, focus on doing things like baking cookies with loved ones or taking a walk in the snow.

Idea #2 – Spend Time Together

Another way to make your holiday season more special is by spending time together over a fire. Whether you build one in your backyard or take advantage of one at a local park, this is a great opportunity for conversation and reflection.

Consider lighting the fireplace and reading a good book together–or having some deep conversations about what’s been going on in each other’s lives!

Idea #3 – Make an Advent Calendar

Making your own advent calendar is a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want, but the key is to include activities that will get you excited for the holiday season.

For example, one day you might do an act of service for someone else, and on another day you might bake cookies!

Now, start brainstorming ideas with your family and friends.

Idea #4 – Get Prepared

Take time to figure out what kind of holiday experience you want, which helps narrow down the items on your bucket list.

Another way to make your Christmas bucket list more special is by preparing for Christmas Eve the night before. One great idea is to create a box filled with all of the things you’ll need for the following day. This could include pajamas, breakfast foods, and even some presents!

Use the printable to prioritize which activities your family would like to do during the holidays.

Idea #5 – Make it Personal

Finally, why not add a personal touch to your Christmas this year?

Make your list as personal and meaningful to you as possible by only including important activities.

Instead of using store-bought wreaths and ornaments, try making them yourself! There are endless possibilities when it comes to homemade decorations, so get creative and have some fun!

This isn’t the time to make your season harder – only what you want to do.

What are some things you can do to make your Christmas bucket list more exciting?

There are many ways to make your Christmas bucket list more exciting!

One way is to add a variety of activities, from festive traditions to outdoor adventures.

You can also mix up the type of activities so that you have something for everyone in the family. Additionally, you can make a point to do new things every year and keep your bucket list updated.

This will help ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable Christmas season.

What are some tips for making your Christmas bucket list more fun for everyone?

One way to make your Christmas bucket list more fun for everyone is to try and do something meaningful and fun for everyone in your family.

This could be anything from spending time by the Christmas tree together, to doing random acts of kindness this holiday season!

A great tip would be to have everyone include their top three ideas that make the family Christmas bucket list.

All in all, you want to start Christmas traditions that the whole family looks forward to each and every year. This may be as simple as starting a new family tradition or making homemade gifts for your friends and neighbors.

It’s the most wonderful time of year, so you might as well make your family traditions more exciting by adding some creative tasks to what is normally a boring list of chores.

What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? I’d love to hear about them!
