Christmas Eve Traditions

Hey there, Christmas lovers! Are you ready to jingle all the way into the merry madness of Christmas traditions? Strap on your Santa hat, grab some hot cocoa or mulled wine, and get cosy because we're about to sleigh this festive fun! Read below for some of our faves..



Carols by Candlelight
Picture this: a starry night, twinkling lights, and voices belting out classics like "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night." Carols by Candlelight isn't just a concert; it's a magical moment where your off-key singing blends in perfectly with the choir. Grab those candles (safely, of course!) and let's harmonise under the moonlit sky. Or stay in and watch the Carols in the comfort of your own home on Channel 9!

Christmas Movies
Cue the festive flicks and cue the cosy blankets! From heartwarming classics to laugh-out-loud comedies, there's a Christmas movie for every mood. So, grab some popcorn and settle in for a movie marathon that'll warm your heart faster than hot cocoa.

Catch Up with Friends/Family for Lunch or Dinner
Gather 'round the table with your loved ones for a festive feast! It's a time for laughter, reminiscing old memories, and creating new ones over scrumptious holiday dishes.

Christmas Lighting
Who needs the Northern Lights when you've got neighbourhoods decked out in mesmerising Christmas lights? We're talking about houses that could give Santa's workshop a run for its money. From twinkling icicles to inflatable snowmen, it's a dazzling display that's impossible to resist.



Wrapping Christmas Presents
Ah, the art of wrapping! It's a skill that can turn even the most awkwardly shaped gift into a masterpiece. From sparkly papers to ribbons that put bows to shame, we're talking about transforming presents into eye-catching wonders that practically scream, "Open me!"

Wear Matching Christmas Pyjamas
Who says fashion can't be festive and comfy? Coordinating Christmas pyjamas are not just adorable; they're a statement of solidarity in spreading holiday cheer. Plus, they make for epic family photos!

Cooking/Baking
Roll up those sleeves and dust off those recipe books because it's time to whip up some holiday magic in the kitchen! Whether it's gingerbread cookies, mince pies, or a good ol' roast, the aroma of festive flavours fills the air and sets the mood for a delicious celebration.

Make a Gingerbread House
What's more whimsical than constructing a tiny edible house and decorating it like it's straight out of a fairytale? It's an activity that combines creativity, architecture (of the sugary kind), and a sprinkle of pure delight.

Open a Present Early!
We've all peeked under the tree and pondered, "Just one won't hurt, right?" Give in to the temptation and indulge in the excitement of opening a gift a tad earlier. It's a sneak peek into the joy of what's to come!

Volunteer
Last but definitely not least - 'Tis the season of giving, and what better way to embrace the spirit of Christmas than by spreading kindness? Whether it's serving at a soup kitchen, donating toys, or helping out a neighbour, giving back warms the soul more than any roaring fireplace.

So, there you have it—Christmas traditions that sprinkle magic and merriment into the holiday season. Whether you're singing carols or whipping up a storm in the kitchen, may your days be merry and oh-so-bright!
