Bake Cookies
It goes without saying that baking cookies is an important winter activity to partake in, especially during the holiday season. Set an afternoon aside to dedicate entirely to baking! Hunt down your top recipes, pick up any ingredients that you may not have handy and create a spread that is fit for Santa to indulge in! Our favourite cookies are as follows:
Put on your apron, grab your rolling pin, queue up Spotify’s Christmas Hits playlist, and get baking!
Make a Christmas Wreath
If you haven’t made a Christmas wreath yet, don’t worry, there’s still time! Choose from a faux wreath or a real wreath, both available at Michael’s craft store! While you’re there you’ll want to pick up all the fixings and decorations! Grab ribbons, bows, bulbs, acorns, red berry stems, and any other decorative pieces that’ll help bring your wreath to life!
If you’re opting for a faux wreath, we recommend looking for one that comes covered in faux snow! The snow helps to add an element of depth to your wreath and helps to fill any empty spaces. Couldn’t find a snow covered wreath? No worries! You can pick up faux snow to spray your wreath!
Once you’ve gathered your tools, it’s time to decorate! A hot glue gun will do the trick for attaching all your decorations! When your wreath is finished, hang it on the front door so your neighbours and bypassers can revel in all its glory!
