Christmas holiday activity ideas

18 December 2025

On Christmas Day, it is not always easy to keep your guests entertained all day long. Sometimes the day can even feel a little long. So here are four activity ideas to enjoy with family or friends on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day.

Board games

Nothing beats a board game to make time fly while keeping the atmosphere light and cheerful. Ideally, have two or three on hand with different themes. A thinking game like TMTC (Tu te mets combien) is perfect for testing your general knowledge, French skills or even answering quirky questions. For pure fun, we recommend Blanc mangé coco or Monique. And if you are in the mood for a role-playing game, why not try Dungeons and Dragons.

Creative workshops

Expressing your creativity is always a great way to spend time. So why not personalise a mug using glass paint. You can also do the same with plates. Find some inspiration on Pinterest and get started.

Christmas karaoke

It is also the perfect time to reveal the hidden talent inside you to your family and friends. Open YouTube and search for “Christmas karaoke”. Go all in with Mariah Carey or Justin Bieber. To make it even more fun, feel free to set up battles and give each other scores.
