Countdown to Christmas Activities for Excited Kids

Countdown the days to Santa's arrival with our complete guide to Christmas activities for kids of all ages, including party games and more!

Looking for Christmas activities for kids to keep your little ones occupied for the rest of the month?

I’m talking every single day until the Jolly Old Elf pops down the chimney?

I’d like to say that my son is driving me nuts waiting for the big day. I’m going to tell you a secret though: It’s ME who drives everyone nuts!

I have been called many things. The Queen of Christmas, the Christmas nut, some other less friendly terms.

I am worse than any kid when it comes to that antsy, “can’t wait another moment” feeling.

These Christmas activities for kids aren’t just fun for your little ones, they’re also fun for you!

So if you’re like me, dig in and enjoy! They’ll definitely help pass the time!
