Everyone loves indulging in some delicious treats at Christmas, and what’s more festive than baking? Set aside an afternoon or two this Christmas season to bake at home with your children.

Homemade happiness

This cool kit is inspired by the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel and is sure to make your festive season bright! The box contains full instructions and all of the dry ingredients you need to bake the gingerbread. It also comes with a piping bag and sweets to decorate with. A fabulously fun (and sweet) way to ring in the Christmas season!

2. Host a Christmas Craft Party

Most kids love making things, and that’s why craft parties are a fantastic way to celebrate and prepare for the big day! This year, why not make your own Christmas cards? Or how about your own ornaments to hang on the tree? Some families also like to make gifts or stocking fillers to give to friends, loved ones and neighbours.

Of course, Christmas crafting doesn’t necessarily need to be practical–it can also just be fun, like this cool Miracle Melting Snowman kit!

Build a snowman, melt a snowman

With this super cool DIY craft kit, you can use miracle putty to make your very own snowman. Add the stick arms, eyes and carrot nose, then complete the look with a top hat and scarf. Once you’re finished, get ready to laugh out loud as your snowman melts into a hilarious little puddle. Fortunately, you can build the snowman again and again, so the laughs can ring out for the entire festive season!

3. Play Some Christmas Games

Christmas is a time for being together with loved ones, which also makes it a great time to play some fun games! Whip out all the old party classics like Charades, Pictionary, and Pin the Tail on the Reindeer. For slightly quieter nights, board games and card games make wonderful choices. Of course, if you really want to have a wild (and Christmas-themed) time, we recommend the O-Deer Crazy Christmas Game!

Catch me if you can

This wildly entertaining game sends players dancing and dashing around the room with a wobbly rack of rubbery antlers atop their heads! Think of this as a wacky version of ring toss – with a moving target! The other players try to toss the rings onto the antlers, while the person wearing the antlers tries to dodge the rings. Zany fun for the whole family!

4. Go on a Christmas Sweets Hunt

Need a fun activity that you can easily do at home this Christmas season? Try a sweets hunt! Basically, this activity is an Easter Egg Hunt but themed for Christmas. Hide chocolate coins and other Christmas goodies around the house or garden and send children out to gather them.

To make it more complex, which is handy if you’ve got older children, you could design a scavenger hunt with a big grand prize at the end, like this incredible Milk Chocolate Game Controller!

A one-player culinary adventure

Gamers and chocolate lovers alike will go bananas for this cool novelty bar! The controller is 12 centimetres long and made of delicious milk and white chocolate. It comes in a smart box and is sure to light up children’s faces this festive season. Sweet!

5. Relax with Christmas Spa Accessories

Finally, while the Christmas season is loads of fun, it can also be very busy. That’s why it’s important to set aside some time to kick back and relax.

If you’re on the lookout for great gift ideas, most kids (and adults) will appreciate some luxurious items to use during an at-home spa night. Want to host your own spa night? Make it festive with peppermint-scented products, Christmas music and hot chocolate to sip. We also love these Father Christmas Bath Bombs, which come in an adorable Christmas cracker!

Classic Christmas crackers get a new twist with this lovely set! The cracker contains three hand-decorated bath bombs featuring festive motifs, including a cute mini Father Christmas. Plunk them in the bath and watch them fizz away, releasing essential oils and wonderful scents. Ahh, it really is the best time of the year…
