Picture of me wearing a Christmas tree dress with tinsel and baubles. I am holding a small Christmas tree in my hand.

Get out the baubles and the wrapping paper… It’s Christmas time!

Christmas is the best time of the year for me. I love celebrating throughout December with lots of Christmas activities and DIYs, watching Christmas films and starting the day with cosy Christmas music. If you want to get festive and get into the Christmas spirit, this bucket list is all you need!
I have filled this Christmas bucket list with the most festive ideas, from classic Christmas activities to cosy baking, great Christmas music and ambience videos, and of course the feel-good movies you simply have to watch this season.
Click right to save this Christmas bucket list to your phone or laptop, and you will never run out of festive ideas! Or like me, you can also print off the bucket list and hang it on your fridge, ticking off the items as you go.

Christmas Bucket list with ideas of festive activities, Christmas movies and books, and Christmas recipes to try.
