I love this time of year! There are so many fun things to do, and so many opportunities to make new memories with my kid. Sometimes I wish the holiday season was just a little longer! One of the things my kid looks forward to the most is the fun holiday activities we do together! From baking cookies to making Christmas crafts, there is something for your child to do each day of the holiday season! I’ve rounded 60 fun things to do this holiday season! Get the whole family involved and make some memories of your own!
