Here’s how to celebrate the festive spirit starting from the 6th of December with a daily activity to bring holiday cheer right up until Christmas Eve.

6th December: Get Crafty with DIY Decorations

It’s time to get hands-on and add a personal touch to your home. Try making paper snowflakes, salt dough ornaments, or a festive garland. Not only is it fun, but these homemade decorations will also make your space feel extra cosy and unique.

7th December: Go on a Winter Walk

Wrap up warm and head out for a brisk winter stroll. Take in the twinkling Christmas lights around your neighbourhood or find a scenic park to enjoy the frosty beauty of the season. Bonus points if you finish with a hot drink at a local café.

8th December: Visit a Christmas Market

There’s nothing quite like the charm of a Christmas market. Spend the evening wandering through stalls filled with handmade gifts, festive food, and mulled wine. Soak up the atmosphere and maybe tick off some items from your gift list.

9th December: Make Your Own Christmas Wreath

Why buy a wreath when you can make your own? Gather some greenery, berries, ribbons, and baubles to craft a beautiful piece for your front door. It’s easier than you think and feels so rewarding.

10th December: Give Back to the Community

Christmas is a season of giving, so take the day to donate to charity or help those in need. Whether it’s donating toys, food, or volunteering your time, small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Gather friends or family and hold a gingerbread house decorating contest. It’s messy, creative, and full of laughter. Don’t forget to snap some pictures of your creations!

Visit your local ice rink for a fun-filled day of skating. Whether you’re gliding effortlessly or clinging to the edges, it’s always an adventure that gets you into the Christmas spirit.
