With the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holiday season, it’s easy to get caught up in a schedule. I often find myself checking things off of my to-do list and marching from one activity to the next.
That’s not really fun and it definitely isn’t the point of the season.
While you can’t skip out on everything, it’s important to take time to slow down. Enjoy winter and have fun as a family with a winter bucket list.
This winter bucket list is all about slowing down and enjoying time with family. Embrace the cold weather, celebrate the season, and make a few special memories.
Winter bucket list ideas
In addition to all the holiday celebrations, here are 2 dozen ideas for fun things to do with your family this season.
- Drink hot cocoa or apple cider
- Make snowflakes from craft supplies
- Play a board game
- Bake homemade bread
- Go ice skating or sledding
- Put together a jigsaw puzzle
- Build a campfire outdoors

Use a pretty printable to make your list, then check the items off as you do them. The fun of a bucket list is that you probably won’t do everything this year, but you can pull it out again next winter and start again.
Put this on a bulletin board or the refrigerator door so you see it every day. You could also add it to your journal.
I designed a printable winter bucket list to match my journal printables. It is intended to be printed on 8.5×11-inch paper but can be scaled smaller if you prefer.
