December 2024 is here, and it's the perfect time to finish up the year strong by filling your calendar with a blend of much needed relaxation and holiday fun. This is the ideal month to embrace spontaneous winter adventures and enjoy the cozy nights of self-care at home. Whether you're looking to unwind or kick the excitement up a notch, we're here with some fantastic suggestions to make the most of the entire month.
Here are four fun things to pencil in to ensure December 2024 is a memorable month!
Take a Holiday Lights Tour
December nights are perfect for a dazzling bundled-up walk through neighborhoods known for their holiday displays. Grab some friends and hot cocoa, and play your favorite holiday tunes as you marvel at the twinkling lights.
Build a Gingerbread City
Why settle for a gingerbread house when you can create an entire city? Grab a kit (or go rogue and bake your own pieces), and get creative with candy canes, gumdrops, and frosting-covered snow. Make it a contest with friends or family to see who can build the most extravagant—or structurally questionable—design.
Have a DIY Ornament Party
Host a laid-back gathering where everyone makes their own ornaments. Provide plain baubles, paint, glitter, and ribbons, or try your hand at salt-dough creations. It's a fun way to get crafty, and you'll end up with personalized decorations to hang on your tree or give as gifts.
Host a Cozy Movie Marathon
Dedicate an afternoon or evening to watching your favorite holiday films. Set up a blanket fort, pop some popcorn, and include a hot chocolate bar with all the toppings. Whether you’re into classics like It’s a Wonderful Life or modern hits like Elf, it’s the ultimate way to relax and feel festive.
