The holidays are such a fun time for many. I enjoy being around family and friends this time of year. There is so much you can do while you’re with those that you love. Even though the Winter months are cold, you can still enjoy being outdoors. My kids love to be outdoors, and you can find many ways to be able to stay active during these Winter months.
- Build a Snowman
- Go sledding
- Have a snowball fight
- Make an Igloo
- Go see a lights show
- Go ice skating
- Take a Winter hike
- Go skiing or snowboarding
- Take a horse carriage ride if you have one in your area
- Make snow angels
- Catch snowflakes
- Go to a holiday parade
- Go ice fishing
- Shovel the snow
- Build a Winter bonfire
- Go snowshoeing
- Play some hockey outdoors
- Do some caroling around your neighborhood

- Draw pictures in the snow. You can use a bottle filled with warm water and food coloring. This will give the snow colors! The kids will love it!
- Volunteer. There are a lot of ways to volunteer around this time. You can simply volunteer your time by helping someone shovel.

We try to stay outside as much as we can stand in the winter. Especially when it snows.
I hate the cold, but I do love the snow! Sledding is my favorite to do with my girls.
These are such fun ideas! Nothing is more fun than building a snowman. We don’t get a ton of snow in Georgia, but when we do, we make a snowman.
Snowmen are always a fun way to enjoy the snow!
There’s a lot of good ideas here! I will definitely be doing some of these. My favorite thing to do is building a snowman with my son. Usually turns into some kind of a snowball fight.
Snowmen are always fun to build with kids!
What a great list. Sounds like a lot of fun winter activities. We will definitely be doing a lot of these!
They are tons of fun. I think Winter can be a lot of fun if you just find the right activities. Sledding is my favorite!
Your family is so cute! Wintertime for me with my family is usually going to a winter parade and then maybe building a snowman or two. You have some great activities here I think I’m going to have to take a couple of them and try them with our family.
Thank you! My girls have had a lot of fun this Winter so far. I’m glad you’re taking on some activities too!
Fun list! We are doing #8 this year with a little tubing added on.
Tubing is always a ton of fun too!
Snow tubing is on our list of things to do this winter! We’ve never done it before!
Snow tubing is always fun! I’m sure you will all love it!
We have plenty of winter fun in Colorado. I can’t wait to go skiing for the first time!
Skiing is fun. I bet you’ll love it!
Aww, these remind me of all the activities I enjoyed doing growing up. Catching snowflakes was such a simple pastime but so much fun.
I loved them all growing up as well. Now I get to share them all with my girls.
I know my kids have a bucket list of things they want to do once it snows. We need to get ourselves some sleds here!
Sledding is one of my favorites. Our local golf course always lets us slide down the hills in Winter. Tons of fun!
We love being outside when it snow, enjoying the feeling that not everybody can experience. Making lot of memories with your love ones under the snow is a sure memorable one.
I agree! I love making memories in the snow! I may hate the cold, but I still love snow.
Such great activities for the winter! We ended up playing in the snow and having a snowball fight and trying to dig out a cave in the snow today. So much fun.
That’s always tons of fun! My husband is great at making caves/igloos!
Such a great list! So important to be mindful and get out and get active.
It is! I think everyone should get out ever day!
Great list of activities! I should try to do 2-3 a week during the winter break!
I plan on doing it during Christmas break with my girls. They’re going to love it!
What a great list. There are so many fun activities you can do with your family during the winter months.
There sure are! My girls love the snow too, so it’s great that they love to be outside in it.
When my kids were young, we spent a lot of time outside sledding and building forts. Lots of fun stuff.
That’s always the best! I still love doing that with my girls.
These sound so great and entertaining! I hope I can get to check them out
I’m sure you’ll be able to do some of them. A lot of them are as simple as walking outside!
These are such fun ideas! Nothing is more fun than building a snowman. I can’t wait! My son and I have so much fun!
My girls were able to already build a snowman this year. I’m sure they’re looking forward to building more.
I have hard time getting out when it is cold. Once I do get out I am so glad as it uplifts my mood.
Same here. I hate the cold, but I do love snow. Lots of fun stuff to do.
One the best day when winter snow is coming! How fun with our family enjoying and watching snow fallen.Such a great tips.
I do love the snow, but hate the cold. I just love all the fun activities you can enjoy.
We just went on a horse drawn carriage ride last night. Our town has them every hour during the Holidays. The kids loved it.
That’s great! Those are always tons of fun. We have that once a year around Christmas. My kids always enjoy it.
Your kids are absolutely adorable. More importantly, I love your daughters’ snowman and they they dressed him or her up!
Thank you! They love to dress up the snowmen. I thought they did a great job too!
The possibilities are endless in winter. I love building snowmen.
They sure are. Lots of fun stuff to do in Winter.
I love your list here! So many fun activities! My kids will surely enjoy this year’s winter!
Mine too! There is so much to do.
These are great ideas for winter family activities. We love going ice fishing and slay riding even though our kids are both now men. Thanks for sharing the family fun winter activities.
You’re welcome. Even though I hate the cold, I still enjoy a lot of activities in the snow.
What a fun activity! This is really exciting and fun!
It sure is! Winter can be a lot of fun.
How fun! My daughter loves to be outside no matter how cold it is.
That’s great! I’m glad she enjoys being outdoors.
That is a wonderful list of activities!! My son and my husband would love it!
I’m glad they love it! Winter can be a great time for some fun outdoors.
How cute that must be to draw pictures in the snow. I guess it is better when there is more than one hand doing the shoveling. And yes, I would love to make a snowman. Sounds like so much fun.
They’re all a lot of fun. Drawing in the snow is always a ton of fun!!
all of these bring back so many memories. i used to love putting on layers of clothes and going outside to make a snowman. makes me miss michigan in the winter.
Same here! I loved doing a lot of winter activities when I was younger. I’m glad I get to share them with my girls now.
Loving this list of winter activities. And the water bottle filled with food coloring is pure genius! Definitely going to try that one!
I’m sure you’ll have fun with it! I’m going to do that with my girls soon. As soon as it’s not below zero so we can actually enjoy it!
Such great ideas for fun in the winter. Love the idea of collecting pine cones, we will have to do that this week!
I’m glad to hear it! We have a lot of pine trees, so we can always collect them!
I remember doing some of these as a kid with my family. It still sounds like fun.
It is still fun. I enjoy doing them with my girls now.
Thanks for the tips, we try to stay active through the winter too. The kids love to be outside!
I love when kids love to be outdoors. It’s great for them.
I love this list SOO MUCH!! I’m printing it out and putting it on my fridge and hoping my kids and I get to do at least a few of the activities you mentioned!
I’m so glad to hear that! I hope you all enjoy some of the activities!
This is awesome ideas to do in Winter season. Seems that those activities is really fun and the kids will be very happy.
They are very fun. I enjoy them and so do my girls.
I love all of these ideas. I wish that we had snow but we don’t. I am hoping the snow holds off until after the 6th of January.
Snow can be so much fun! I enjoy it, but I also hate the cold.
Great list of activities!!!!! We built a snow land over the weekend!!! It was so much fun!
They are a lot of fun. I love building snowmen!
You have included so many of our favorite things. We love building snowmen, snow forts, and making snow ice cream!
I’ve never made snow ice cream, but that needs to go on my list of things to do in winter!
Lots of great ideas!! My favorite one is building a snowman and going to look for Christmas lights.
Me too! I love them both.
That’s a great list that you put together. I don’t like the cold weather, but I do love looking at Christmas lights and enjoy the festivities in general. We got 33″ of snow where I live, so an BIG igloo sounds like a good idea! 😉
Wow, that’s a great deal. We’ve got a decent amount of snow, and the temperatures are dropping.
These sounds like a fun family activities. Canadian likes to play ice hockey in winter and eating maple syrup candy.
That sounds fun! Ice hockey is a lot of fun.
I agree there are so many cool activities families can do outdoors in the cold than staying couped up at home
There sure are. The list could go longer!
Thanks for the ideas! We’ll surely build a snowman once we get a lot of snow which seldom happens. 🙂
You’re welcome. Snow man be a lot of fun, even if it’s cold!
I soo wish I could do all these things involving snow. Living in SoCal we get no snow, I’m sure you have so much fun playing outside with your family.
It is a lot of fun. Very cold at times, but still fun.
We don’t get snow here, but I wish we did! We try to get outside as much as possible in the colder months, it’s been really rainy here lately though!
Snow can be a lot of fun. I’m not a fan of it being cold, but I still love snow.
those are great activities to do during the long winter season… making snowmen with the kids is always a top ‘must do” every year (and more than once!)
We do that often! Making snowmen is always fun.
Sledding is our big thing. My dad built a whole luge run into the hill next to his cabin that we all love.
That sounds fun! Sledding is my favorite as well.
Such fun ideas! The snow really can be a lot of fun. This is a great list!
It sure can! Even if it’s cold, there is so much to do.
I would love to live where it snows. I was born in Alaska and lived in Pennsylvania later but I don’t really remember what the snow was like. The grand kids would love to build a snowman.
Snow can be a lot of fun! Sledding is my favorite.
Great list of activities for the Winter! We’re sure going to have a fun time this Winter with these ideas!
I sure am too! We are really excited for sledding!
What a great list. Sounds like a lot of fun winter activities. We will definitely be using your list!
