The snow is gathering in Northern Minnesota and causing everyone to really begin embracing the Christmas spirit. You might be getting together with people you weren’t able to last year, so as you’re gearing up to enjoy the holiday up North, we have some tips to help you have the best Christmas at the cabin yet! 

Read a Christmas Story around the Fireplace

Grab a hot chocolate and snuggle in as a family to enjoy some quality time while listening to a traditional Christmas story or children’s book. Even if you’re a household full of adults, a little Christmas nostalgia goes a long way. 

Bake some Christmas Goodies

Baking is one of the best ways to gather everyone in the cabin for some quality time while baking cookies, bread, or your favorite holiday treat. Not to mention you’ll get to enjoy some delicious treats once you’re done! 

Get some time in on the Ice

Whether you’re an ice skater, hockey player, or ice fisher, get outside and enjoy the crisp Northern Minnesota air and the beauty of Christmas on the lake. Playing together is a great way to build memories and Christmas Traditions.

Have a Gingerbread House Competition

Gather your supplies and give everyone the task of building a Gingerbread House. Whether in teams or individually, this is a great way to create some healthy competition. When you’re done, have everyone vote on their favorite and make sure to have a prize for the winner! 

Take a Family Photo or Video

Call everyone together and capture the Christmas holiday in a family photo or video! This is a great way to make the memories last. You can even display all your photos of Christmases past on the wall or sit down and watch your video together next year! 

However you decide to celebrate this Christmas, we hope you have a wonderful time with the people you love! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
