Cue the twinkly lights and Mariah Carey, it’s Christmas bucket list season!
If your kids are already asking when they can start decorating cookies, watching Home Alone, and mailing letters to Santa (mine started in July, send help), then it’s time to get festive and organized.
I’m all for holiday magic, but let’s be real: between the class parties, gift shopping, and trying not to burn the gingerbread house, it’s easy to forget to slow down and enjoy the good stuff.
That’s why I created a family-friendly Christmas Bucket List and yes, it’s totally free when you sign up for my email list!

Wait… What’s a Christmas Bucket List, and Why Bother?
So glad you asked.
A Christmas bucket list is basically your seasonal to-do list but make it magical. It’s a collection of simple, joyful holiday activities families can look forward to. Think: sipping hot chocolate, making snow angels, reading The Polar Express, and just being silly in fuzzy socks.
Now, you might be thinking, “Do I really need another list during the busiest season of the year?”
Short answer: YES. But hear me out.
A Christmas bucket list helps you focus on connection over chaos. It gives your kids something to look forward to, gives you a plan when cabin fever kicks in, and makes even the most ordinary moments feel special.
