Every year it seems like the Christmas season arrives earlier and earlier each time. The store that I work in had their holiday decorations up in October! It seems like such a long way from Christmas day but it’ll be here before you know it. I personally love Christmas and everything that goes into making the day magical. Decorating the front porch with lights, putting up the tree and hanging ornaments, baking cookies, and wrapping presents.
The past couple of years, however, have been rather tough with all the presents that I have to buy and all the running around I have to do to different family get-togethers. It can be difficult to remember the true meaning of the holiday with all that is going on so I put together a list of all the things that you and I can do to get into the Christmas spirit.
1. Make a holiday playlist
2. Watch Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel or on Netflix.
4. Visit a Christmas tree farm
5. Drink hot cocoa in your pajamas
7. Make homemade potpourri that will make your home smell amazing
8. Play in the snow
9. Make a holiday Pinterest board
10. Hang Christmas lights around your bedrooms walls
11. Wrap gifts in festive paper, ribbons and bows
12. Sing along to Christmas songs in your car while driving
13. Have red, green, white and gold decor around your home
14. DIY an outdoor greens wreath from outdoor items
15. Light sugar cookie, peppermint or evergreen scented candles
16. Build a gingerbread house from a kit or homemade
17. Watch old home videos of your family’s holidays
18. Curl up by the fire with a good book
19. See a holiday play at your local theater.
20. Drive around your neighborhood to see all the lights people have up
These are such cozy and fun ideas! Thank you for sharing – I will definitely be implementing some of these this week to feel more festive🎄🤗
I love this!!!! So many ways I can introduce little festive things into my uni life and room. Definitely need to find some Christmas scented candles and my mum is sending me some of my favourite decorations from home😍
I love these ideas! I’m so into Christmas and all ideas to get it going right now are great. Especially Christmas movies are great (and often sooooo bad, but who cares?) 🤶🏻
This post has definitely got me into the Christmas spirit! I love listening to Christmas songs in the car and singing along to them! x

Love these ideas – listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas films always gets me into the festive spirit!
I loved this! I’ll be honest, I don’t need any help getting into the festive spirit as I’m already fully there. These were some lovely Christmassy ideas though!
All great ideas on how to get into the holiday spirit. I need to make some homemade potpourri one of these days. Curling up with a good book is a great idea no matter the time of year. I am currently working on the first bit of holiday baking and will continue with that until the new year.
I love this list! I am definitely getting into the Christmas spirit lately, and love all the cosy vibes! I love making a hot chocolate, putting a fire on and just watching a festive movie 🎄
I don’t usually get into the holiday spirit this early but with everything going on in the world right now, I’ll admit… I’ve already enjoyed some fun holiday movies and it’s like an instant mood boost. We all need to find the things that make us happy, and if that’s getting into the holiday spirit then I say go for it and jump right in!
I love this list! Thanks for sharing! I’m actually thinking of getting into the Christmas spirit early this year!
I wont lie, I’m already there! I am well and truly ready to embrace the holiday spirit! Some great tips here!

I love this post so much! I am getting my house ready to get some Christmas decor up and have started my gift list! And of course Hallmark movies! Thanks for sharing, we all need a little Christmas joy!
I love watching Hallmark movies, I use to watch them with my dad until he passed away. I also love baking and decorating sugar cookies, it’s so much fun. I like all of your ideas.
I couldn’t agree more with making W holiday playlist! Mariah on repeat from now till Jan 1st
All these ideas are so relaxing! I love Christmas, watching movies, cosy, drinking cocoa etc. I think Christmas will be very different this year, but all these things are doable. Lovely list
