17 activities to do between Christmas and New Year’s

17 activities to do between Christmas and New Year’s

You probably have multiple dinners and parties ahead of you for the next week. Maybe you’re on vacation or maybe you’re still working, either way you might need ideas and inspiration on what to do either right now or just throughout the winter. Let me give you some ideas about what you can do when you don’t know what to do on these days. Especially the ones when everything is closed because of the Holidays.

My 17 activity ideas to keep you busy

  • Ice skating, snow slides, snowshoeing, skiing, walks, etc.

Go outside and enjoy the nature, maybe it’s not your favorite season, but it doesn’t mean you have to be a bitch about it for the next 5 months. Go out and enjoy, get together with friends and family and do some sports. It is really nice being all put up in a warm and comfortable winter outfit and feeling the cold on your cheeks while having fun with whatever activity you’re doing.

  • Make food

But like, not everyday food. Food that you love and only do few times a year, desserts, soups, meals, name it. Just put on some nice music, and cook the shit out of your kitchen. Bonus point if you do it with someone you love.

  • Volunteering

If you have nothing to do, why would you not? It’s always nice to give and especially in this season of the year. Also, it can keep your day busy and fullfilled if you don’t feel like doing nothing alone at home.

  • My favorite plan

Ok here’s what you’re going to do.  

  1. Take a hot shower and pamper yourself.
  2. Make a nice hot chocolate, and I mean the big deal with the marshmallows and all, OR a hot Baileys coffee (hehehe).
  3. Get all snuggled up in your favorite blankets.
  4. Go get your cat or dog or fucking adopt one.
  5. Put on your favorite movie (Bonus point if it’s a Christmas one for this time of year).
  6. Watch and enjoy.
  • Read, paint, write, get creative

Get creative and let your thoughts be out on your creations. You can always do it with a cup of wine in your left hand or right I don’t really care which one.

  • Learn something new

Try a new hobby, find something you might like or at least just give it a shot you never know what you can fall in love with.

Here are some ideas

  1. Learn to sew
  2. Learn a new sport like skiing or something
  3. Try out meditation and yoga
  4. Learn how to play chess or whatever game you don’t know how to play to
  5. Make a scrapbook
  6. Candle making
  7. Photography
  8. Try a musical instrument
  9. Etc.
  • Make playlists

That’s something I almost never have the time to do, so that would be a great way to spend your day. You can make up like a workout playlist, a late night drive playlist, a morning one, etc.

  • Do a huge clean up

Clean the shit out of this place, I’m talking deep cleaning not just making your bed, but making your house/room fresh.

Also, clean your makeup brushes and throw away your beauty blender, I know they’re dirty.

  • Clean out pt 2

Except this time, clean out your clothes, put away the ones that give you a bad vibe, the ones you never wear, the ones you hate, the ones that don’t fit you anymore, etc.

Sell them on Vinted or give them to an organisation for people in need, just do a clean out and get the year started with clothes that fills your heart and in which you feel comfortable in.

  • Do the things you’ve been putting off for later

I don’t know what they are neither do I have any examples right now, but if you’ve been putting off something just do them now. Like I don’t know, get your passport up to date or put up that painting on the wall.

  • Dance

Alone, with someone, in your room, in a club, I don’t care, just dance it out.

  • Rearrange your room

Make it a new room, buy new decorations to make it more alive and full of your energy.

  • Do nothing

Just sit and do nothing, let your thoughts flow in and make you realise who you are, what you think of, what makes you, you.

  • Masturbate

You have the time right? Yea then do it, just buy a new vibrator or whatever you use and try it out.

  • Do your nails

Hands AND toes. Make them look cute or get them done in a salon.

  • Scroll on Tiktok for a few hours

I mean it’s not a crime, maybe you’re not being productive but if we had to ALWAYS be productive we would be robots. Sometimes, being unproductive feels better and relaxes you more than being at your top hour every hour.

  • Start your project

That’s my final one, stop making excuses, stop putting up other priorities in front of it, just start it. You have the time and you should take advantage of it, starting a project you’ve been wanting to do is important and healthy for your life. It’s an accomplishment and when you try, you can never fail. Because if you did try, it’s already a win.

I mean, we’re all busy but also all have some down times where we don’t know where to put our heads and just want to enjoy it. You don’t have to do them all, but some may be good for you to do/try.

That’s it for today loves, those are my ideas that you can do to fulfill your days throughout the Christmas week(s) or even in winter weekends when you’re bored. I’m also not always inspired so I might even consult this list if I’m not sure what to do with my time LOL. Anyways, I hope you’ll have a great time doing some of them and let me know in the comments if this helped you!

Mwah.
