Quarantine Christmas Ideas
Amid the #coronavirus #pandemic, many families have decided to celebrate in responsibly small numbers, instead of in large groups. Some folks might even find themselves celebrating alone. If that's the case for you or your family, have no fear — there are so many fun quarantine #Christmas ideas you can do while social distancing.
Please consider some of the ways we can all celebrate the holidays from home. It's all up to you to decide, but we think the old song is true: "For the #holidays, you can't beat home sweet home." And for even more ideas to keep you busy, don't miss the best Christmas #activities to make your day even merrier. Who says you need to leave the house to have a day full of #cozy, creative activities?
Assemble a make-ahead breakfast Opening presents takes a lot of energy, and so you'll want to refuel afterward with a hearty breakfast. Try one you can prep the night before so all you have to do on Christmas morning is pop it in the oven.
Decorate Christmas cookies Baking cookies is a great daytime activity to make your home smell delicious. Before you get started, make sure you have some fun cookie cutters, frostings, and decorations on hand.
Decorate as festively as possible You're going to spend a lot of time at home this holiday season, so you might as well make your space the winter wonderland of your dreams. Set a budget and pick up some new decorations or open your craft bin and make some DIY ones.
Put together a holiday puzzle Doing a puzzle is a relaxing way to spend Christmas day or night.
Make hand painted commemorative Christmas ornaments The 2020 holiday season is bound to be unique — so why not make an ornament to remember it by? Mix a salt dough recipe and make a cookie-cutter ornament. Don't forget to write the year in paint.
Read a Christmas book Reading a book on the sofa is a cozy way to get in the Christmas spirit. Let the kids pick out a book and read it to them while eating some holiday snacks. For a more grown up activity, flip through a favorite romance novel or poetry book.
Sing Christmas karaoke You don't need to be a musical family or friend group to have fun belting out holiday tunes during Christmas #karaoke. Take this game up a notch by investing in a karaoke mic.
Mail a gift to a loved one If you're not seeing certain loved ones this year due to safety concerns, make sure to send them a gift in the mail to show them they're in your thoughts. You can never go wrong with something edible.
Host a virtual party Just because you can't get together in person doesn't mean you can't see your friends and family on Christmas. Send everyone a Zoom link and host your party online. Make sure you've got a few games ready too.
Cook a festive meal Dinner is the main event on Christmas. And 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 feast.
Watch a Christmas movie Watching a movie is the perfect way to spend the time between presents and dinner, or to unwind after the festivities end. Don't forget to nosh on treats or sip cocktails (or mocktails!) while you watch.
Make a holiday playlist Set the mood on Christmas morning by putting on a festive soundtrack. 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.
Attend a socially distanced outside event Check your town's newspaper or website to find a list of local holiday happenings. You might be able to visit an outdoor Christmas tree or holiday market, or some other socially distanced outdoor event.
Go sledding If you're lucky enough to have a white Christmas, set aside a few hours to go sledding or snow tubing. Similarly, you could make a snowman or find a nearby ice-skating rink.
Put on your Christmas pajamas Nothing is cozier than a comfy pair of Christmas pajamas — bonus points if the entire family matches.
Sincerely,
