Family activities at Christmas time are the best! They generate lasting holiday memories.

The more you involve kids in holiday events, the more memorable will be the outcomes.

That's why this list is all about hands-on fun to engage both young and old.

This roundup of Christmas countdown activities includes awesome ideas from some of my family-friendly blogger friends. 

You'll find an activity for each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas Day. There's also a link to a Made for Kids roundup with more Christmas fun.

This roundup of holiday activities was inspired by the traditional Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. The lyrics in each of the verses is replaced with an activity you can do with the kids.
