Fun Things to Do on, or Before, Christmas

Assemble a homemade breakfast

Opening up a lot of presents is hard work, and so you'll want to regain your energy by eating a delicious breakfast. Try one you can prep the night before so all you have to do on Christmas morning is pop it in the oven.

Create a music soundtrack for opening presents

Set the mood on Christmas morning by putting on a fun holiday soundtrack to listen to while you open presents. You can even build anticipation for the big day by compiling your playlist ahead of time and listening to it in the days before Christmas.

Cook a delicious meal

Dinner is one of the main events for many people on Christmas. Just because you have fewer people to feed this year, doesn't mean you should give it any less effort. Decide on a menu ahead of time and make sure you have all the ingredients necessary to put together a proper holiday feast.

Roast marshmallows

Build a firepit in your backyard or roast marshmallows over the stove for a great new tradition that still brings a little glow to your heart. For an easier roast, try backing the chocolate and marshmallows in the oven instead.
