Must-try kid-friendly Christmas activities this season

Parents can make Christmas mean more than food and gifts for their children. All they need to do is throw in some activities to make the celebration more memorable. With a little creativity and research, parents can make the holidays a celebration to remember. Here’s a rundown of activities parents can do to make the season extraordinarily brighter for their kids:

Go on a caroling adventure
Street caroling is a tradition in the country.  Try this practice with the kids.  Whether they have angelic voices or not, kids will enjoy a caroling adventure.  Invite their friends and their parents to participate. As they say, the more the merrier. Create a simple song list of Christmas tunes and print out the lyrics. Either go house to house or pay relatives a visit.

Visit charitable institutions
One of the best ways to give love this Christmas is by sharing the family blessings with those in need.  Visit orphanages but make a call first for permission. Prepare a simple program for entertainment.  Don’t forget to bring merienda or snacks.  Gifts are also welcome.  This is a great way to tell kids about the value of giving.

Hold a viewing session of Christmas TV specials
Get into the holiday spirit by hosting a Christmas-themed TV viewing at home.  Prepare the living room to look like a movie house or prepare the backyard for some outdoor screening. Make the experience comfortable by providing pillows and blankets. This activity would not be complete without popcorn or other comfort food and drinks.

Head to the mall for a Tsum-tacular Christmas  
Enjoy a wonderful day at the mall.  There are events perfect for the kids and the whole family to keep the mood festive.  SM City North Edsa recently launched their Tsum-tacular Christmas Village. In partnership with Disney, the latest offering allows visitors to see their favorite Disney characters.  There is also a meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie.  The retail giant even made this Christmas more magical by unveiling a picture-perfect 45-foot Tsum-tacular Christmas tree.

There are many activities parents can do with their kids.  It is the experience, however, that makes moments more memorable.  Make this year’s Christmas celebration worth remembering for your kids.
