These cozy Christmas activities for kids could create lots of happy holiday memories! These activities are simple to set up and use materials you probably already have on-hand. They are quick and easy to do, which means you’ll have more time to put up your feet and curl up under a blanket (or two)!

There is nothing like a good holiday story time to get everyone in the Christmas spirit! Some of our favorite cozy books include: Mooseltoe, Here Comes Santa Cat, Bear Stays Up for Christmas, and Santa Clauses – Short Poems from the North Pole
These are books we look forward to reading together every year when Winter break begins. Setting up a Winter reading nook makes it easy for the kids to pick up a book and read whenever they would like!
