24 Days of Christmas: Simple, Meaningful Advent Activities Your Family Will Love

As parents, we all dream of creating a December filled with magic—cozy nights, joyful memories, and intentional moments that truly matter. But with school events, work schedules, and holiday to-dos piling up, it can be hard to keep the Christmas season feeling calm, connected, and meaningful.

That’s one of the reasons this tradition is so close to our hearts. In our own homes, we each do a Christmas activity every day with our families during Advent. What started as a fun idea years ago has grown into one of our most treasured holiday traditions. Our kids look forward to it all year long—and honestly, so do we. Those simple, daily moments have helped us slow down, savor the season, and build memories we’ll carry forever.

It’s that same sense of wonder, connection, and joy that inspired us to create 24 Days of Christmas, an Advent activity pack designed especially for busy families who want meaningful experiences without the overwhelm.

Make December Magical… Without Adding More to Your Plate

The 24 Days of Christmas packet includes 24 unique Advent activities, each created to spark connection, creativity, and festive fun. Many activities come with ready-to-print pages, while others rely on simple, inexpensive items—things like candy canes, cookie mix, or a tiny holiday treat. Each activity includes simple, clear instructions to make everything easy on you.

They’re the same type of activities we do with our own children: cozy, joyful moments that don’t require hours of prep or a trip to the craft store.

Flexible for Real Families With Real Schedules

One thing we’ve learned from doing daily Advent fun in our homes is that flexibility is key. Some days are full; others have more room for slow, magical moments.

That’s why all the activities in this pack can be done in any order.

Busy Wednesday? Pick something short and sweet. Lazy Sunday morning? Choose a bigger activity and make it a family moment. Once you have everything printed, take a minute to look through the activities and sort them into two piles—‘quick and easy’ and ‘takes a little more time.’ Then each day, depending on how busy things are, you can just grab the one that fits your schedule.

There’s no pressure, no “missed days,” and no guilt—just opportunities for connection whenever they fit.

Daily Activity Cards Add a Touch of Magic

Along with the activities, you’ll receive beautifully designed daily activity cards. In our own homes, we’ve tucked these surprises into advent calendars, placed them by cereal bowls at breakfast, and even hidden them in the Christmas tree for kids to find. Our kids absolutely love waking up each morning to see what that day’s activity card will be.

No matter how you use them, they create a spark of excitement and anticipation your children will never forget.

Create Lasting Traditions… One Joyful Day at a Time

We’ve seen firsthand how powerful these daily December moments can be. Our kids remember the cookie baking, the crafting, the service projects, the snuggly bedtime stories—and the laughter woven through all of it.

That’s why we poured our hearts into this packet. It’s more than activities—it’s a chance to build traditions, strengthen family bonds, and make December feel magical again.

These moments aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence.
