FESTIVE, FUN, & FREE HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES

Holiday fun doesn’t have to cost a huge sum! Presence is always more valuable than presents, and a season about heart, shouldn’t break the bank. But how? We’ve got you covered this holiday season, with a list of our favorites that are FUN, FESTIVE, and—you guessed it—FREE!

HOLIDAY LIGHT DISPLAYS

Make the season merry and bright, with the best neighborhood light displays in your area! Grab family and friends, pack into the car, (or venture out on foot). Get some cocoa to go—and you’re off! 

FAMILY AND FRIEND GATHERINGS

Even with social distancing, you still make time to see the people you love via. ZOOM! Zoom calls are free and you can spice up the experience with a holiday theme, festive setting, or by adding a funny or seasonal background. Have no fear, there will be cheer! 

From happy hour to movie night, near or far—you can always celebrate together virtually.

HOLIDAY MOVIE LIST

Watch in person, on a ZOOM call or Google Hangout, or try the new group marathon various platforms like Amazon PRIME and others are offering. It’s never neem easier to marathon with some holiday cheer! 

Create a list of your favorite holiday movies! During the holidays there are so many resources to choose from: the Hallmark channel, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and Apple TV, Disney +. The list goes on! use the services you already pay for, and stream the holiday classics. 

Pro tip: Have a Harry Potter movie marathon weekend! Caramel corn, hot buttered rum, and a pile of candy while you spend a day wrapped up in the wizarding world.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

“Oh tannenbaum, oh tannenbaum--how lovely are your branches…” Outdoor tree lighting ceremonies, seasonal parades, North Pole or Santa’s Village, holiday bazaars and more! Check your local community calendar for listings on which holiday festivities you can participate in this year.
