Whether you already have cherished family traditions or are creating new ones, make this year extra special by adding a little “odd” to your festivities.

The most wonderful time of the year is back, and there’s no better way to get into the spirit of Christmas than with some fun festive bonding. Need any ideas on how to spread the Christmas cheer? We celebrate the season and the odd in everyone by giving six Christmas activities a touch of Oddbods magic!

1) Prepare for the Christmas party as a family

Kickstart #Odd-peration Christmas by mapping out what needs to be done. Get the whole family involved by delegating duties to each family member. Not only will your little grown-ups enjoy being able to contribute to the festivities, but it will also (hopefully) keep them occupied and excited too.

Don’t forget to let your family and friends know about your upcoming Christmas party ahead of time.

Put your little Oddstars in charge of the invitations and have them send out these cute printable Oddbods party invites to make sure no one is left out.

2) Start putting up the Christmas decorations

There is nothing like a house filled with Christmas decorations to get into the festive mood. Whether it’s decorating the Christmas tree or putting up your Elves on your shelves, decorating is one of the easiest and most exciting ways for the kiddos to get involved.

No matter how to choose to decorate, find a way to make every year special by letting your little ones add new ornaments or decorations to the mix. This year, add a little odd to your decorations with this colourful printable Oddbods origami figures and Oddbods Christmas decoration kit that comes with Christmas tree ornaments, paper chains, a festive banner, and gift tags.


3) Do Christmas gift wrapping together

The absolute joy of Christmas is in giving, and wrapping gifts together is an excellent opportunity to encourage philanthropy. It’s good to show your kids that giving isn’t just a year-end activity but part of our lives all year round. Remind them that simple acts of kindness such as doing a good deed, sending a thank you note, sharing toys and snacks, helping someone out, or donating old books and toys can be done even when it’s not Christmas.

When it comes to Christmas gifting, let your children in on the entire process, from helping to pick out the gifts for family and friends to wrapping them and placing them under the tree. Odd-ify it by personalising their gifts with these printable Oddbods Christmas gift tags.

Assigning your kiddo's favourite Oddbods character to their gifts would make them even more excited to unwrap their presents!

4) Organise a family Secret Santa

Here’s another great Christmas family tradition that the whole family can enjoy — Secret Santa! While rules for this vary, the central concept is to draw names and become someone’s Secret Santa. You then gift them while keeping your identity a secret. All will be revealed on Christmas Day when everyone opens their presents and tries to guess their Secret Santa.

If you’ve drawn your little Oddstar, look no further than with some Oddbods gifts! From blind bags for the collector to huggable plushies for the younger ones, the Oddbods Amazon store has a variety of gifts for every kid.



5) Have an odd-some family bake-off!

Putting up Christmas decorations and tearing through wrapping paper on Christmas morning can whip up an appetite. Gather everyone for a pre-Christmas or Christmas morning bake-off where the whole family helps out in the kitchen to make a joyous feast. If you’re doing it on Christmas Eve, you can even let the little ones leave some cookies and treat out for Santa.

Sprinkle your festive bake-off with a dash of Oddbods magic with this easy Oddbods ice cream cone cupcakes recipe you can do with the kiddos. And if you’re baking for the Christmas party, don’t forget to top off your fresh bakes with these wacky printable Oddbods cupcake tags.

6) Watch Christmas classics and specials

Wind down after a day of festivities by snuggling up with the fam and having a Christmas movie marathon (hot chocolate optional). Watch beloved classics like the Home Alone series, Elf, and Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch to new favorites like Frozen and Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles and Jingle Jangle.

If your little Oddstar is looking for something a little quirkier, these special Christmas Oddbods episodes might do the trick. For starters, you’d definitely want to watch the adorable Babybods Visit Santa Fuse episode with your kiddos together!
