Easy Christmas activities for families at home: a hot chocolate station, coloring night, a story countdown and a free printable Christmas sampler.

Simple traditions, big memories

You don't need an elaborate plan for a magical December. These low-cost activities fit into busy evenings.

1. Hot chocolate station + coloring night

Set out cocoa, marshmallows and peppermint sticks, then print our free Christmas sampler. Put on carols and color together.

2. A Christmas story countdown

Color one page a night from Little Bethlehem Night or the Nativity Coloring Book while you read the Christmas story.

3. Family game night

Mazes, dot-to-dots and word searches from Christmas Nativity Activities make a calm, screen-free evening.

4. Cookie-baking afternoon

While the cookies cool, color the gingerbread scenes from Twinkle & Toasty Christmas.

5. Kindness advent

Each day, do one kind thing: shovel a neighbor's walk, mail a card, or donate a toy.

6. Pajama light drive

Pile into the car in pajamas with cocoa and rate the neighborhood lights.

Make it yours

Pick three or four and repeat them every year. That's how traditions start.
