Make this Christmas unforgettable for your child by experiencing the magic of the holidays together!

Create a countdown calendar leading up to Christmas. Tell your child that each day you’ll do something fun together—big or small—and that you’ll need their help! On busy days, choose simpler activities; on calmer ones, enjoy something more involved.

  1. Bake cookies for Santa or for neighbors/friends

  2. Write a letter to Santa Claus

  3. Make Christmas cards and mail them

  4. Create handmade ornaments

  5. Go for a walk and admire the Christmas lights

  6. Drink hot chocolate together

  7. Sing and dance to holiday music

  8. Learn about Christmas traditions from around the world

  9. Share 5 things you’re grateful for

  10. Read a Christmas story or fairy tale

  11. Take photos wearing Santa hats

  12. Look through old family Christmas photo albums

  13. Donate a toy to another child

  14. Make or hang a holiday wreath on the door

  15. Wrap gifts for loved ones

  16. Watch a Christmas movie

  17. Attend a festive holiday play or performance

  18. Give hugs and share what you love about each other

Every day can become magical with a bit of music, creativity, cuddles, and your own childlike wonder. We’re building their memories—let’s fill them with magic!
