Fun Activities to do with Your Friends This Christmas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

1. Ice Skating 

Ice skating with your friends is a really fun winter activity that will make you really excited for the holidays! It’s also really fun to laugh with your friends at how hard ice skating really is.

 

2. Baking

What’s better than holiday desserts? Baking is a great way to make use of your kitchen, as well as hang out with your friends while getting into the holiday spirit by making holiday cookies and sweets. 

 

3. Christmas Movie Marathon

Since Netflix always releases new, cute, romantic comedies during the holiday season, what better way to watch them than with your friends on a night in. Maybe even eating the delicious holiday desserts that you made!

 

4. Decorate a Tree

Decorating a Christmas tree is such a fun way to make yourself excited for Christmas. And after your done, you can take a cute picture for Instagram with your friends to make your Instagram followers stoked for the holidays!

 

5. Hot Chocolate Bar 

Invite your friends over to get away from the cold winter weather with warm hot chocolate! Set up a bunch of fun sweets like candy canes, whipped cream and sprinkles and spend the night sipping away!

 

6. Christmas Karaoke 

Enjoy a night in with your friends singing Christmas songs and getting yourself excited for the holidays! Karaoke is always a great choice and is so much fun with your girl gang.

 

7. Build a Snowman

If you’re lucky enough to live where it snows, spend the day outside playing in the snow and enjoy a real white Christmas. Another great opportunity to take some fun pictures with your friends and have a mini photo shoot in the snow. 

 

8. Go Christmas Shopping 

Plan a Secret Santa or gift exchange with your friends and spend the day shopping for each other and getting your friends the perfect gift! What’s better than seeing your friends happy this holiday season?
