Post-Christmas lunch activities don’t need to be elaborate to be memorable. Whether you’re up for something energetic or prefer to keep it relaxed, the key is to savour the company and the season’s joy.
1. Take a festive walk
Burn off those extra helpings of chicken and pudding with a leisurely stroll. Explore your neighbourhood or a nearby park adorned with holiday lights and decorations. This is a wonderful way to enjoy nature, bond with loved ones, and reflect on the season.
2. Play games together
Bring out board games, card games, or trivia for some lighthearted competition. Classic games like Scrabble, Monopoly, Rummicube, or Pictionary are crowd-pleasers, while charades or a holiday-themed quiz can add a festive twist.
3. Host a Christmas movie marathon
Gather in the living room with dessert or snacks for a lineup of Christmas classics. Favourites like This Christmas, Home Alone, Elf, or It’s a Wonderful Life never fail to deliver holiday cheer.
4. Engage in outdoor fun
If the weather allows, organise some outdoor activities. If it’s warm, consider a pool party, backyard game of soccer, cricket or just celebrating the festiveness of the day outside in the garden.
5. Volunteer or spread kindness
Consider giving back during this season of giving. Deliver treats to neighbours visit a local care home, or donate time or resources to a charitable cause. Acts of kindness spread holiday cheer to others and make the day even more meaningful.
6. Mark the moment
Organise a mini photoshoot to document the day. Dress up in festive outfits, take candid shots of the laughter and joy, or create a themed photo booth with props for added fun.
7. Plan a holiday treasure hunt
Hide small gifts, candy, or festive notes around the house and organise a treasure hunt for kids and adults alike. It’s a playful way to keep the holiday spirit alive.
8. Wind down with gratitude
End the day by reflecting on what you’re thankful for. Share your gratitude with others or jot it down in a journal. It’s a peaceful way to conclude the festivities and embrace the season’s spirit of appreciation.
Happy holidays!
