Head to a Winter Sporting Event 

Fun Family Experiences To Consider for Winter Break - trying a winter sport - curling
Up to try a new winter sport? Check out curling!

What’s unique about professional sporting events during winter break is they can double as a gift for your child or loved one. If they love a specific hockey or basketball team, surprise them with the experience of sitting close to the players or attending a game in their favorite arena. These types of experiences are photo-op worthy and create life-long memories. 

Or if you want to try something new, check out curling. A traditional Scottish sport, it uses a heavy, polished stones and special curling shoes. With a large target at the end, the goal is to put your stone as close to the center as possible.

Plan a Trip to a Ski Resort

While skiing is very fun, you don’t have to be a great skier to enjoy a trip to a ski resort.

There are breathtaking ski resorts and lodges all over the US, especially near the Canadian border and mid-country mountain ranges. Plan a seven- to 10-day trip to fill the winter break schedule with outdoor fun. 

Consider taking on new outdoor activities while you’re there, such as snowmobiling. Some of the popular snowmobiling routes to consider exploring are in Wyoming, anywhere in Colorado, and most of Montana. 

Get Tropical 

Fun Family Experiences To Consider for Winter Break - tropical vacation
Already had enough of winter? Head to a tropical heaven instead.

Some families use the winter break period to escape the cold and enjoy the holidays in a sunny and warm location. If this falls into your family’s budget, book your spot now and look forward to seeing palm trees and the ocean breeze. 

Another way to achieve something similar while staying domestic and saving some money is looking into warm coastlines in the US, such as California or Florida. 

Start a New Tradition 

Fun Family Experiences To Consider for Winter Break - new family tradition - baking cookies
Baking cookies is one of my family’s favorite winter traditions, but we do like to add in a new recipe each year – many have become our new favorites!

You may already have wintertime traditions set in stone, but consider starting a new one or thinking of ways to enhance the existing ones. These changes don’t have to be lavish or expensive. 

For example, if you bake cookies with the kids the week before Christmas, consider adding a new treat or passing out the baked goods to those in need. Just add something small they will remember as they grow older. 

Take on a RAK Project 

Fun Family Experiences To Consider for Winter Break - random acts of kindness
If you’re all about giving back this year, plan random acts of kindness like shoveling a senior’s driveway or wrapping gifts for those that aren’t able.

RAK stands for random acts of kindness. Sit down with your family and compile a list of ways to be kind within your community. Once winter break hits, begin using this extra free time to your advantage and follow through on the acts. Consider all the ways people can benefit from these services during the holidays. 

A few examples include the following: 

  • Volunteer to gift wrap a busy family’s gifts 
  • Ring bells for your local charity group 
  • Sponsor a family for Christmas 
  • Donate toys for kids 
  • Visit care facilities where members may be without family 

It’s challenging to think about the holidays being around the corner and all the preparations that come along. Consider these fun family experiences for winter break to help in the planning process and give you ideas for experiences that will create lasting memories.
