It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year!
Mila and I are getting so excited for this holiday season. Although we’re trying to hold off most of our activities until after Thanksgiving, we’re feeling the pressure!
A good middle ground was to make our Christmas Bucket List 2021.
This isn’t the first time Mila and I have made a Christmas Bucket List. During her second Christmas in 2019, we made a similar one! We had a ton of fun getting to every item, but she didn’t grasp it like she will this year.
Bucket lists are fun because you can prepare for an upcoming season and list what you want to do. Then, any extras are just added fun.
All of our Christmas Bucket List items are easy to do and most will just be at home.
Here’s what we came up with:
- Decorate the Christmas Tree
- Put up decorations
- Drink hot coco
- Write a letter to a santa
- Visit Santa
- Have treats for Santa and his reindeer
- Sing Christmas songs and dance to them
- Bake cookies
- Christmas movie night
- Eat a candy cane
- Go look at Christmas lights
- Make wrapping paper
- Make gingerbread houses/people
- Make an ornament
- Wear Christmas pajamas
- Take family photos
- Christmas on the Square
- FLORIDA!
- Have a Merry Christmas
I can’t wait to celebrate Mila’s FOURTH Christmas season with her. She’s already so excited for Santa and the magic behind it all. And… she already wants to cross the items off.
Even though we paused our list due to the pandemic last year, I figured we needed to bring it back and make it our tradition.
As always, we’ll be sure to share our holiday experiences, crafts, and activities. Stay tuned.
All I did to make the physical list was unrolled craft paper and drew on it with markers. It was easy to do and it feels like we have another huge and interactive Christmas decoration for the year.
What would you add to your Christmas Bucket List that I missed? Let me know in the comments.

I love this Christmas bucket list idea to do with your kids! This warms my heart so much. With my three-year-old daughter, I will read books about Christmas, put up the Christmas tree and decorate it, put up more decorations around the house, make Christmas crafts, and make Christmas cookies!

Really love your list. My kids are over Santa for the first time in 7 years, we aren’t writing a letter to Santa. But we are so excited to decorate the tree drink hot chocolate and bake chocolate chip cookies.
