There are so many amazing things to do around the holidays that require bundling up and facing the cold, but what are some great indoor activities to get you in the holiday spirit? Don’t worry we have you covered! Whether you live in a sunny Arizona apartment or a chillier climate, you can do these fun activities!

Get Cosy and Watch A Movie Marathon

What better to do than cuddle up on the couch in your cozy apartment with friends and watch classic Christmas and Hallmark movies while drinking hot cocoa and eating popcorn? I’m sure you can answer that question on your own! When it is chilly outside, it is nice to stay warm inside your apartment with good movies.

Decorate Sugar Cookies

You can either start everything from scratch or buy all your ingredients premade at the store. Either way, you can enjoy the sugar cookie smells that will fill your apartment and put your creativity (or lack thereof) to the test! It can be fun to share these with friends, family or neighbors!

Hold a Gingerbread Decorating Contest

This may sound intimidating since they never seem to stay together but if you do not plan on eating it after, the best hack is to hot glue graham crackers or the store-bought gingerbread house together before decorating! This makes decorating so much easier and you may just win a gingerbread contest against your friends!

Share Your Favorite Festive Cocktail/Mocktail

This season, you can have a few of your friends bring over the ingredients to make the holiday variation of their favorite cocktail or mocktail. This way, everyone can try different drinks that are so creative and festive! A quick search on Pinterest will give you all the inspiration you need!

Try a Christmas movie-themed Kahoot game

This is one of my favorite things to do for any event, birthday, or holiday! You can use the website Kahoot, which allows you to make your own game or choose from thousands of premade games with all different themes, such as, which phrase belongs to this movie? or name the classic movie, guess the holiday song, and so much more.

Hold a White Elephant/Secret Santa

Instead of buying a nice gift for all your friends and spending a fortune, the simple solution is to play white elephant in your apartment or home. This is where everyone brings a wrapped gift, and whoever draws the lowest number first picks the gift they want to open first, and gifts can be traded. This game can be funny, competitive, and exciting for everyone!
