5 Senior-Friendly Holiday Activities for the Whole Family

x The holiday season is a magical time of year for young and old alike. This is the perfect time to share traditions, enjoy the company of loved ones, and make memories that will last a lifetime.


In need of some inspiration for fun and festive activities that will be loved by the whole family? We asked the team at Comforting Home Care for their favorite holiday traditions and are excited to share them with you so that you may enjoy them with your family as well. Grab a cup of your favorite hot cocoa and get ready to get in the holiday spirit!


  • Deck the Halls - Nothing sets the mood like festive decorations around your home! If you’re feeling crafty, check out Pinterest for fun do-it-yourself decor to put a personal touch on your space.

  • Bake Holiday Cookies - Passing recipes down from generation to generation is a time-honored tradition and will help create happy memories for grandparents and grandchildren alike. Not a family of bakers? Store-bought cookie dough will work just as well, just don’t forget to stock up on plenty of frosting and sprinkles for decorating!

  • Warm Up Your Vocal Chords - You don’t have to be a world-class opera singer to belt out your favorite holiday tunes. Turn up the radio so you can sing and dance the night away to classic carols or more modern mashups. Bonus points awarded to the best overall performance, costumes optional (but encouraged).

  • Walking (or Driving) In a Winter Wonderland - Bundle up and take a walk around your neighborhood to check out the beautiful light displays that your neighbors have worked so hard on. You can also check your local area for professional light shows that offer a drive-through experience. Get ready to be wowed!

  • Holiday Movie Night - Looking for a more relaxing holiday experience? Cuddle up on the couch with some tasty treats and put on your favorite holiday movie. A crackling fire or festive candle can add some cozy winter vibes to your night.


Feel free to take these ideas and put your own unique spin on them to match your personal preferences! It’s not really about the activity - the most important part of every tradition is spending time with those you care about.

From everyone at Comforting Home Care, we wish you a joyful holiday season full of warmth and light.
