It’s practically Christmastime, which means it’s time to grab a peppermint mocha from Starbucks, blast seasonal music, and finally break out cozy sweaters.
But with December also comes stress from finals and cold, unpredictable weather. So, to keep the Christmas spirit alive, here’s a list of activities you can do every day leading up to the 25th.
Key:
A tree means the event repeats multiple days in December, of course, these are just suggested days, but also keep in mind that you may need to sign up or purchase tickets ahead of time due to popularity
The little gingerbread men are simpler things you can do at your house for practically free!
