Sarah LafargeWatch Christmas films and play games in matching pyjamas
Take a well-earned break – and calm down overexcited little ones – by curling up on the sofa together with a festive flick. Dial up the cosiness factor with some snacks, snuggly blankets, and matching pyjamas for the whole family. Our festive pyjamas are available in men's, women's, and kids' sizes, and made from cotton for extra comfort, you can even get in the festive spirit with Spencer Bear. Let each member of the family pick a film over the Christmas period to avoid any arguments about what to watch. If there's nothing good on the telly, why not play a board game together?
Last-minute decorations
Decorating the Christmas tree together is a great way to create some fun festive memories – although you might have to neaten things up after the kids have gone to bed. Create a family tradition by allowing kids to pick a brand-new bauble each Christmas. We have plenty of eye-catching ornaments that kids will love, including these London landmarks, a glass unicorn and these roarsome felt dinosaurs. If you're a bit protective over your tree theme (we totally understand), why not put a mini-Christmas tree in kids' bedrooms and let their creativity run wild.
Host a festive bake off
If you’re looking for a foodie Christmas activity, festive baking is a brilliant place to start. Try our Christmas cake pops – make a fluffy sponge, then roll and dip in melted chocolate, and finish with colourful sprinkles. Or bake a tear-and-share mincemeat Christmas tree using crisp puff pastry and our Collection Brandy and Clementine Mincemeat.
Don’t fancy baking from scratch? Build your own gingerbread house with our decorating kit, packed with crunchy gingerbread pieces, red-and-white icing and plenty of sweets for decorating. Whether you’re baking with your family or hosting a festive crafting night with friends, it’s a moreish way to make memories and treats.
