Festive Advent Calendar Activities for the Family to Share

Last updated on April 24th, 2022 at 12:48 am

The holidays are about togetherness, and I thoroughly enjoy any Christmas tradition that’s  focused on family. These advent calendar activities, for example, provide a fun little diversion every day, as you take a break from the holiday to-do lists, shopping, and binge-watching Hallmark Christmas movies.

Since there is so much to do throughout the season, it’s nice to have a fun-focused calendar. This advent calendar can help your family count down and make memories together at the same time. It’s also a practical way to factor in important activities you were going to do anyway. We all know how easy it is to let things go unscheduled. That’s why this advent calendar is practical while promoting more fun and more holiday magic.

Printable Advent Calendar Activities Sheets (including a blank advent calendar)

These printable sheets full of advent calendar activities includes 24 fun and Instagrammable things you can do with your family to make lasting memories this holiday season. Unlike other advent calendars that at most require you to read a short excerpt or eat chocolate (we like those too, and we have one of those here), this calendar provides true inspiration. It delivers big on creating valuable family experiences that you will cherish. It may even become a new holiday tradition.

The festively designed calendar has a board game-like layout that shows a pathway to Christmas. Instead of hunting for a number on a busy image, this advent calendar is easy to reference and lets you put your mind to work on the fun things you will do, like making a snow globe, having a Christmas song dance party, or donating a gift. The great thing about these advent calendar activities is that the whole family can participate, and there is a wide range of experiences to share from parties to crafts. Yes, even visiting Santa Claus is on the list (with, or without plexiglass this year).

And, if you’d prefer, we’re including a blank advent calendar so you can mix things up a bit–change the order of the activities or schedule in some of your own.
