December 1 means the holiday season is officially here! Have you started planning your Christmas crafts and activities yet? If not, I have five easy Christmas activity tutorials that I refer back to year after year, just for you.
DIY Foam Cone Christmas Trees
Possibly the simplest Christmas activity on my list, these foam cone Christmas trees are a great place to start if you’re not a big crafter. Or, if you’re like me and adore sparkles this time of year, this is also a great DIY for you.
The supply list is short and you can easily complete this project in one day. I have four of these sparkly foam Christmas trees around the house every year now and they shine extra brightly when placed near holiday lights. Mine are on my kitchen island and on a shelf right beside my Christmas tree. Don’t delay, make your own today! Project instructions are linked here.
No-Chill Sugar Cookies
Loved by adults and kids alike, these no-chill sugar cookies are great solo or with the homemade easy icing recipe I’ve included in the recipe.
Looking for an easy Christmas activity for the whole family? Make baking the cookies an adult activity, and decorating them one for the kids. This way, everyone is involved and has an important job to get this job done!
Use food coloring to make different color frostings and let the kiddos go to town. Read and Pin the full no-chill sugar cookie recipe here!
Homemade Hot Chocolate Bombs
These were a lot of fun to make last year! Having the right silicone mold is half the battle, my hot chocolate bomb mold is linked here.
Follow my step by step instructions here to make your own hot chocolate bombs for yourself, your guests or even as fun holiday stocking stuffers. Experiment with different ingredients inside to make a fun variety of flavors.
Styling a Hot Cocoa Bar
Once you’ve made your homemade hot cocoa bombs, why not decorate a whole hot cocoa station in which to include them? This is my favorite holiday decor spot after the Christmas tree itself.
I have a whole checklist of things to consider including in your own hot cocoa bar in this post here. Plus, an actual checklist graphic you can save to Pinterest for later, easier reference. Check it out and let me know what you think!
DIY Kitchen Cabinet Wreaths
There’s a good chance you’ve already seen these given they have over 1 MILLION views and thousands of saves on Pinterest. They’ve been a wildly popular DIY project as we approach this holiday season.
Each piece is simply a wreath and a piece of gold entwined burlap hung by a 3M hook from the inside of each cabinet. It’s SO simple and adds a LOT of cheer to your kitchen. All the supplies and tips are located in the DIY Kitchen Cabinet Wreath post here.
