Christmas Light Traditions to Start

I can still remember traveling to see Christmas light displays with all my cousins on Christmas Eve as a child. These days, we climb into the car and drive around our city looking at Christmas lights with our own children.

Here are some ideas for your family to enjoy together this year:

Make holiday cookies to share. These Christmas light cookie cutters from Sweet Cookie Crumbs would make some really adorable cookies for your Christmas light adventure.
Share a family storytime together with Ora Smith’s A Christmas Story of Light about the very first Christmas.
Watch The Great Christmas Light Fight all season long with your family for even more competitive holiday light fun together.
Vote for the house you think has the best light display and declare a winner at the end of the night. This is a favorite Christmas light tradition for our little ones!

Tips for Taking Kids to See the Lights

Is viewing Christmas light displays a new tradition for your family?

If so, here are some helpful tips you can use to make the most of your Christmas light adventure with your little ones this year:

Download and print this Christmas light scavenger hunt to do with your family along the way.
Dress kids in warm pajamas. They’ll be more comfortable and if they fall asleep during the adventure, you won’t need to change them into pjs.
Pack a few blankets in case it gets chilly. We like to take fleece throw blankets for our kids.
If you’re planning to walk, consider bringing a stroller for younger kids who might get tired. Plus, a stroller will provide extra storage for blankets and snacks.
Consider bringing warm drinks. Cocoa with lots of marshmallows, warm apple cider, or even coffee for adults.
Pack up some holiday cookies or treats to enjoy together while you watch the Christmas lights.
