'Tis the season to be jolly and what better way to spread the holiday cheer than with some festive family activities! This December, let's trade in the hustle and bustle for quality time together. If your family loves gaming, TV, and all things entertainment then there’s sleigh-full of fun activities that will make this holiday season the merriest one yet. So if you’re hosting and are in need of some things to do to keep everyone entertained, here are some ideas.
Video Gaming Night
Set up a gaming night that brings the whole family together, create a tournament with your favorite video games. Whether it’s Call of Duty or Mario Kart, create a comfy gaming environment and enjoy a night of playing. You might not usually have as much time as you’d like to spend playing games just for fun, but December and the festive period gives you a golden ticket to kick back, relax and and indulge. Fire up the console and enjoy!
Movie Marathon
Cozy up with blankets and popcorn for a holiday movie marathon that the whole family can enjoy. From timeless classics like It's a Wonderful Life to modern favourites like Elf or Home Alone, create a movie lineup that caters to everyone's taste. Consider a theme night – perhaps a Harry Potter marathon or a collection of animated holiday specials. Don't forget the hot chocolate and cookies to complete the experience.
Screen Free Gaming Night
As much as we all love our screens, sometimes it can be nice to have an night off. Go with an online blackout for the night and you’ll enjoy each other’s company all the more. Card and board games are awesome and easy to enjoy together, whether it's classics like Mahjong, Uno and Monopoly or newer games like Codenames or Ticket to Ride, there's something for everyone. You shuffle cards, roll dice, and use your brain to win. Chances are you don’t do much without your screens these days so it can be quite nice to have a night off, especially when it’s spent with family and friends.
TV Show Binge Watching
Have you heard brilliant things about the new and most loved tv series but just havent had the time to sit and watch? Christmas is a chance to really get into something, it’s always great when you get hooked on a show and can’t stop watching and is a relaxing way to spend the Christmas period. Whether it’s a new release like The Last of Us or an old favourite like Breaking Bad, the key is to savour the episodes together. It's an excellent way to unwind, share laughs, and maybe even shed a tear or two over the festive period.
Virtual Gaming Night
If your family is spread across different locations, host a virtual gaming night. With the help of online gaming platforms or multiplayer apps, you can connect with family and friends for a friendly competition. Whether it's trivia, card games, or multiplayer video games, the virtual world allows everyone to join in on the fun. It's a fantastic way to bridge the physical distance and create lasting memories togethe
Trivia Night
If you dont mind a bit of friendly competition then consider organising a virtual trivia night. Choose some categories, including gaming history, movie quotes, and TV show facts- you could buy a trivia board or card game or download one from the internet if you need questions. Divide into teams, it could be the girls vs the boys, siblings against siblings or parents vs kids, whatever you think will stir things up best! It's a fantastic way to showcase everyone's knowledge, spark some healthy rivalry, and share laughs. You can even add a creative twist by incorporating multimedia rounds, where participants identify famous gaming soundtracks or movie scenes. With a mix of fun questions and interactive challenges, a virtual trivia night is an entertaining and inclusive activity that aligns perfectly with the interests of a gaming and entertainment-loving family.
Escape Room
If your family is into gaming and loves a good challenge, you've got to experience the thrill of an escape room! It’s basically like stepping into a real life puzzle where you and your family work together to solve riddles, find hidden clues, and unlock mysteries to "escape" within a set time limit. It's a fantastic way to test your problem-solving skills and strengthen teamwork- all while having a blast. Booking an escape room is easy as many cities have dedicated escape room venues where you can choose from all sorts of themes. This could be solving a mystery, escaping a spaceship, or exploring a wizard's lair- there's a theme for every interest. Many escape rooms cater to different difficulty levels, so that families of all ages can join in on the excitement. Escape rooms are perfect for gaming loving families because they offer a unique, hands-on experience. Instead of staring at screens, you're physically engaged, solving puzzles, and working together. It's a fantastic way to bond, share laughs and create lasting memories. So if you want an activity that gets you out of the house it’s a fun one to try.
Any time spent with family and friends is worthwhile and Christmas is the perfect time to do this. If you have a shared love of all things entertainment then there’s plenty of common ground where you can do things together and make memories.
