Christmas Activities
Looking for Christmas activities that are more fun than the same old holiday movies and shopping trips? Swap your to-do list for a little creative fun and get into the festive spirit with hands-on holiday workshops to enjoy across the U.S. Decorate gingerbread houses with gumdrops and swirls of icing, paint wintry scenes on Christmas ornaments, or weave fragrant evergreen sprigs into a wreath for your front door. There’s something for everyone, from sweet-toothed families in Los Angeles to crafty hosts who love a handmade finishing touch in New York City. Whether you're starting a new tradition or planning a memorable day out with loved ones, you'll find plenty of Christmas things to do to make this season feel extra special.

Find Christmas activities and holiday workshops near you
From the east coast to the west coast, ClassBento connects you with local studios across the country offering fun holiday activities. We make it easy to find Christmas experiences in your own neighborhood, so you can focus on making fun festive memories!
Explore holiday workshops in NYC, or look for hands-on Christmas crafts in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, or Chicago. It's a lovely excuse to explore your city during the holidays, too! Fit a class around your weekend plans, make a creative pitstop while running errands at the shops, or turn a neighborhood stroll into a jolly outing.
Class listings include location details so you can plan your visit, and customer reviews can help you choose the perfect experience to suit yourself or your group. This guest left a glowing five-star review of a floral arrangement class in San Francisco:
“Mary was knowledgeable and gave great tips and feedback to help me create a flower arrangement I loved. Three of us took her class and can't wait to share what we learned with our friends, family, and colleagues. Taking a floral arrangement class is a great activity to bond with working teams, friends, or family. Highly recommend!” —Rossana Z.
Best of all, every booking is a chance to support independent makers and small businesses during one of their busiest seasons. You'll come away with a new memory and handmade craft, all while helping local artisans keep doing what they love.
Popular Christmas activities for families and friends in 2026
Instead of spending another afternoon scrolling things to do during the holidays, go ahead and book a Christmas activity that gets everyone around the table making something together!
Here are a few of the best holiday activities to try:
- Festive baking and gingerbread decorating: You can pipe swirls of icing onto gingerbread roofs, cover sugar cookies in colorful sprinkles, or roll indulgent chocolate truffles. These sweet workshops are perfect for those who think the best part of winter is the desserts.
- Christmas wreath making: Weave evergreen sprigs together with eucalyptus, dried orange slices, and velvet ribbons to design a wreath that smells as lovely as it looks. Hang your creation on the front door to give guests a warm, handmade welcome.
- Ornament crafting: Punch a needle-felted ornament, play with stained glass, or hand-sculpt and paint your own ceramic ornament. You'll leave with a handmade decoration to bring out and enjoy every Christmas!
- Beginner ceramics: Get your hands into cool, pliable clay as you shape a handmade mug, sculpt a decorative piece, or create a dinner party platter. You’ll enjoy the satisfying process of making something beautiful and useful for the holidays!
These workshops take the fuss out of planning, with materials, setup, and cleanup taken care of by your host. Forget buying craft supplies you'll only use once, turning your kitchen table into a glitter-covered disaster zone, or spending the evening scrubbing frosting off the countertops. You can get straight to the fun and leave once you’re done!
Planning a day out with little ones? Check each class listing for age recommendations, or look for Christmas activities for kids to find a suitable fit. With step-by-step expert guidance and a safe, beginner-friendly atmosphere, everyone can get creative. You'll leave with handmade decorations, sweet treats, or another unique craft, but it's the bonding time spent together that makes these family holiday activities worth bringing back year after year.
Creative Christmas crafts for adults to unwind and de-stress
December can fill up quickly with shopping lists, work deadlines, social plans, and an endless stream of things to organize. Schedule a restorative escape in your calendar—an hour or two when you're not responsible for anything other than your own creative side quest.
Leave the crowded mall shops and endless notifications behind for a relaxed workshop where you can unplug and work with your hands. Try these Christmas activities for adults who need a mini mental reset:
- Candle making: Blend comforting scents like cedarwood, cinnamon, or vanilla and pour a candle that brings a warm glow to your home on chilly winter evenings.
- Winter floral arranging: Combine fresh evergreen sprigs, seasonal blooms, and delicate branches to bring to life a centerpiece bursting with color for your holiday table.
- Terrarium classes: Tuck delicate ferns, velvety moss, and tiny succulents into a glass terrarium to create your own little indoor oasis when the weather outside turns chilly.
- Screen printing: Experiment with techniques like linocut, block printing, and silkscreen to bring your designs to life. From handmade Christmas cards and gift wrap to printed tote bags and wall art, you can make something unique to decorate your home or gift to someone special.
No artistic experience? No problem! These beginner-friendly workshops make it easy to try something new, with friendly instructors to walk you through each step. There's no pressure to get everything perfect, just space to experiment and enjoy the process.
Instead of scrolling past endless festive inspiration, you can spend an afternoon making something of your own. Display your craft at home, wrap it up for someone special, or keep it as a reminder to carve out more time for creativity in the new year.
Fun group holiday activities and experiences
Planning a merry get-together with friends, family, or coworkers? You don't have to settle for another crowded holiday bar! A hands-on workshop gives your group something to do together, making conversation and laughter a natural part of the experience.
Here are some fun holiday activities to consider for your next celebration:
- Paint and sip classes: Pour a drink, grab a paintbrush, and let your ideas flow onto a canvas. Whether you're painting a detailed snowy scene or an abstract Christmas tree, it's all about having fun and seeing where your imagination takes you.
- Cocktail and mocktail making: Shake, stir, and muddle your favorite festive drinks with seasonal flavors and fresh garnishes. You'll pick up a few bartender tricks to bring out at your next party, too!
- Charcuterie styling: Arrange fresh fruit, cheeses, crackers, and other seasonal nibbles into a show-stopping grazing board you can recreate at home.
These Christmas activities work for all sorts of celebrations, from a catch-up with your closest friends in the Bay Area to a family reunion in Chicago or a team outing in Houston. They're also a great option for corporate holiday events, giving coworkers a chance to connect over something fun and new outside of the office.
For groups, you can browse available classes, compare options, and reserve your spots online. Planning something bigger? Check class listings or contact the host to discuss private bookings and custom celebrations. It's a fuss-free way to get everyone out of the group chat and into the spirit, with festive handmade creations to enjoy long after the season changes.
