6 Christmas-Themed Activities for Your December Friend Date
When we consider the holidays, we think most about our time spent with family or a significant other. But spending Christmas with friends can be equally fulfilling.
This festive season, don't let your time with your besties go unappreciated. Continue reading to discover six Christmas-themed activities and traditions to have the ultimate holiday friend date.
Drive-Thru Light Show
When it's so chilly outside, most don't want to go outside to celebrate the holidays. You can stay warm while getting outside the house by attending a drive-thru lights show. If it's too challenging to find one near you, don't fret. Take a cruise down your local neighborhoods to see how people made their home a Christmas to remember.

Holiday Markets
If you live near a metropolitan city, you probably have a huge Christmas market nearby, also sometimes called the Christkindlmarket. Here, you can find all the iconic holiday eats and gifts, including mugs of hot cocoa and adorable tree ornaments. More than likely, it'll be a great spot for a photo op, too.

Christmas Movie Marathon
Are you on the hunt for something free and fun? You and your friends can gather around for a night of festive films. To make it even more exciting, each person can choose one movie for everyone to watch. And don't forget to arrive in your Christmas PJs and favorite holiday snacks.

Secret Santa Gift Exchange
Usually, we prefer to avoid Secret Santa as much as possible, but with the right group, it can be very fun. When you're exchanging gifts with people you know by heart, shopping is like second nature. Plus, with Secret Santa, you'll likely spend less money with a price limit and only have to purchase gifts for one person in your (potentially expansive) circle.

DIY Wreath-Making
A wreath can often be the statement piece of your Christmas decor. You and your friends can make it even more personalized with a DIY wreath-making event. Plus, it'll be exciting to see what everyone comes up with. Maybe one person will celebrate Pinkmas with a sparkling girly wreath, while someone decorates theirs in the theme of Taylor Swift.

Christmas Shopping
We're near the end of December. If you haven't finished Christmas shopping by now, you probably feel like you're scrambling. Take the pressure off your shoulders by inviting your friend to do some last-minute searching. Good company can go a long way, and who knows? You might be in the same boat together.
