The top 3 unique and fun things to do with your family this Christmas

Christmas is always a great time to spend with families. There is just something magical about Christmas that makes everyone enjoy the season. During Christmas, families seem to have a mini-reunion as relatives from far and wide gather together to celebrate the holidays.

During the holidays, there are so many things that families do together that they rarely get to do during regular days. There are families who make a big deal about decorating their homes. They all travel to pick just the right Christmas tree for the house, and everyone in the family gets involved with decorating the tree. Some do not just stop at decorating the Christmas tree, but they also go all-out in the house decoration.

Another thing that is fun to do during Christmas is to cook the food for the Christmas meal. It’s a time to just enjoy being with family members, sharing secret tips on cooking or just having a good time talking and laughing with each other.

Of course, who can forget the gift-giving during Christmas? It’s truly a time to celebrate the spirit of giving and show family members how much you appreciate them by giving them something they will cherish. But if you want a unique Christmas experience, you may also try other things, such as the list below. These are all guaranteed to be enjoyed by everyone in the family so go ahead and see what activity you can plan for your family this year.

1. Go on a trip instead of giving gifts – gifts are tangible evidence that Christmas has arrived. However, there’s also something to be said about genuine unique experiences. The memories will not fade even when a few years have passed. You can decide to skip the gift-giving this Christmas and take your family on a trip instead. If you’re not a fan of winter, you can go to a tropical country and enjoy a relaxing time near the beach. Or you can go for a different adventure, such as hot air balloon rides or a cross-country train trip. It might not be the Christmas your family is used to, but these memories will surely make a mark in their lives.

2. Pick up a new skill as a family – if it is too late or too expensive to plan a trip for the family, then why not look for an activity that you can do together. How about taking an art class or learning a new skill like cooking or even scuba diving? Those experiences are fun enough to do on your own, but it will be even more fun when you have family learning along with you.

3. Play games – if leaving for a trip is again not an option, you can still stay at home and make it a unique Christmas by playing games! You can go for the tried and tested parlor games like Charades and reindeer toss. You can also do trivia quizzes for the whole family. You can look for Christmas trivia or if you are all coffee lovers, why not do coffee quizzes and see just how much your coffee-lover family knows about their favorite drink?
