Christmas Eve is, by far, my absolute favourite day of the year (even more so than Christmas Day!). The excited suspense....the mad dash to the shops for the missing mint sauce.....the quick drink with your friends before you go your separate ways and the traditions that you have made (or the new traditions that you will begin).
If you are needing some ideas to make your Christmas Eve a little bit more festive, then check out some of our ideas below and have some fun!
Surprise Your Neighbours With Christmas Cookies
Spread Christmas cheer to the whole street by putting together tins of Christmas cookies to surprise your neighbours with.
Break Out the Ugly Christmas Sweaters
Have your family put on their favourite outlandish tops and throw an ugly Christmas sweater theme night. At the end of the night, have everyone anonymously vote for the best (and by best, we mean worst) sweater and hand out candy prizes. Extra points to anyone who creates a DIY ugly Christmas sweater.
Make a Gingerbread House
Baking Christmas desserts is always a fun activity, but after you're done making cookies, there's something else you can create—a gingerbread house! Either grab a kit or make a DIY gingerbread house for this fun activity.
Read a Christmas Classic
Send everyone off to bed with a special rendition of The Night Before Christmas or another one of the most iconic Christmas books for kids.
Watch a Festive Film
Get the fire roaring and throw on a merry movie to watch from your couch. With so many Christmas movies to choose from, there will be no shortage of entertainment for the evening.
Sing a Christmas Carol
Round up friends and family to make your very own chorus of carollers and surprise your neighbours with some holiday entertainment right at their doorstep. Even better, you can record and send video messages to safely share Christmas cheer!
