Christmas is the perfect time to make cherished memories with your loved ones, and what better way to do that than by engaging in fun and festive activities? Here are five exciting things to do this Christmas that will bring joy to everyone, along with some great Christmas gift ideas to make your celebrations extra special.

1.Making a Gingerbread House

Creating a gingerbread house is a classic Christmas activity that brings out the creativity in everyone! Gather your family or friends to decorate your gingerbread house with colourful icing, candy, and sweets. It's a delightful way to get into the Christmas spirit. While you're at it, why not build your own gingerbread-themed DIY hamper filled with delicious chocolate gift boxes, sweet treats, and festive snacks? A gingerbread house-themed hamper makes for a perfect Christmas present gift bag for anyone with a sweet tooth!

2.Going Glamping

If you're looking for something a bit different this holiday season, consider going glamping. Combine the beauty of nature with the comfort of luxury accommodations. Imagine roasting marshmallows by the fire, surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights in the wilderness. Glamping can be the perfect way to relax and recharge over Christmas. You can also surprise someone with a unique Christmas hamper, like a custom hamper with wine gift boxes, champagne hampers, and little Christmas hampers to enjoy during your glamping trip.

3.Visiting a Christmas Market

A Christmas market is a magical place to get into the holiday spirit, with festive decorations, unique gifts, and plenty of tasty treats. Stroll through the market with a hot cocoa in hand while shopping for Australian gifts, like handmade ornaments, local chocolates (maybe even from the iconic Darrell Lea range), and Christmas food baskets. If you're looking just to say thank you gifts or special corporate gifts for clients or colleagues, a Christmas market is the ideal place to find them.

4.Going Ice Skating

For a truly festive experience, head to an ice skating rink! Whether you're a seasoned skater or a beginner, ice skating is a fun and exhilarating way to celebrate the season. After a day on the ice, enjoy a warming hot drink and some delicious treats. If you're gifting someone who loves skating, consider a Christmas basket filled with goodies like chocolate gift baskets or a personalised hamper filled with their favourite snacks.

5.Having a Christmas Movie Marathon

What better way to unwind than with a Christmas movie marathon? Gather your family or friends, make some hot chocolate, and settle in for a day of heartwarming films. Whether you love classics like Home Alone or prefer newer releases, there’s something magical about watching Christmas movies together. For an added treat, gift a friend or family member a movie night hamper filled with popcorn, chocolate gift boxes, and other festive snacks—perfect for a cozy evening in.
