Christmas is probably my favorite holiday. I love the magic that the Christmas season brings and how much family time we are able to have.
There are so many fun Christmas things to do that I love creating a Christmas bucket list to make sure we do all of our favorite holiday activities!
Christmas Bucket List
Today I’m sharing some of the Christmas activities, foods and traditions we have on our Christmas bucket list.
You can get your free printable Christmas bucket list at the bottom of the post.
Get a Christmas Tree
We love going to a tree farm each year and cutting our own tree. It’s become one of our favorite ways to start off the Christmas seasons.
Decorate the House
Make some of your own DIY Christmas decorations or pull out the ones you love and have fun decorating the house together.
Make a few DIY Christmas Ornaments
Christmas ornaments are a fun and easy thing to make as a DIY project. Pull out the craft supplies and have fun making an ornament or two together.
Do an Advent Calendar
Advent Calendars are such a fun way to count down to Christmas. Get some fun Advent Calendar ideas here.
Bake Christmas Cookies
Christmas Cookies are a must at our house during the holidays. We love making old family favorites and trying a new recipe or two each year.
Dip Chocolates
Growing up I remember dipping chocolates each year with my great-grandma. Now I like to make those same memories of dipping chocolates with my own kids.
Listen to Christmas Music
Do you have a specific Christmas song that just speaks Christmas to you? The Mannheim steamroller song Hallelujah is the one that always makes me FEEL Christmas. Listen to Mannheim steamroller and other Christmas favorites with Amazon Music Unlimited start a Free 30-Day Trial Now.
Watch Christmas Movies
Family Christmas movies and Hallmark Christmas movies are two of the wonderful things about the Christmas season. Check out this post for some of our favorite Family Christmas Movies.
Sleep Under the Christmas Tree
After the tree is decorated make some beds around the tree (move a mattress or two into the living room if you need to!) And enjoy a family slumber party with the magical Christmas tree lights.
Drink Hot Chocolate
Hot Chocolate is my favorite hot drink so as soon as it gets cold it’s my drink of choice and just had to make it on this fun Christmas bucket list.
Go see Christmas lights!
I love driving around different neighborhoods and seeing the homes decorated for the holidays. It’s something our family does several times during the holidays.

Decorate a Gingerbread House
Last year we decorated Gingerbread houses for the first time with our kids and we had so much fun it’s getting added to our yearly traditions.
