21 Festive Quarantine Ideas For a Holly Jolly Holiday |
|
1- Assemble a make-ahead breakfast - Opening presents takes a lot of energy, and so you'll want to refuel afterward with a hearty breakfast. Try one you can prep the night before so all you have to do on Christmas morning is pop it in the oven. Get the recipe for Blueberry Sweet Rolls With Lemon
|
|
2- Decorate Christmas Cookies - Baking cookies is a great daytime activity to make your home smell delicious. Before you get started, make sure you have some fun cookie cutters, frostings, and decorations on hand.
|
|
3- Hop on a video call with Santa - Getting to meet Santa is a magical experience for many youngsters during the holiday season. Unfortunately, they might not get to see Saint Nick in person this year — but that doesn't mean they can't chat with him on the phone. Use Santa Club to book a video conversation with Kris Kringle. The $50 experience includes up to three children and even allows you to keep a recording of the video.
|
|
4- Decorate as festively as possible - You're going to spend a lot of time at home this holiday season, so you might as well make your space the winter wonderland of your dreams. Set a budget and pick up some new decorations or open your craft bin and make some DIY ones.
|
|
5- Mix a cozy cocktail - There are so many festive winter flavors that taste incredible in cocktails. Find a recipe you're interested in and whip up a batch of drinks on Christmas morning. A warm stovetop option is a cozy way to celebrate the season. How about a warming Limoneira Classic Hot Toddy.
