Holidays are normally a lot of fun, but they can be even more exciting if you get to spend them with your friends from college. The bonds you form during your college years tend to stay with you for a very long time and become even stronger when you create lovely memories together. So, if you are looking forward to having some fun with your college buddies this holiday season, here are a few ideas to steer you in the right direction.
Do Some Baking Together
Nothing says Christmas like mouth-watering indulgent food! Just thinking of those delectable delights gets the taste buds excited. So, if you are thinking of ways to spend some fun time together with your friends, how about doing some holiday baking?
Picture stuffing yourself with yummy cookies, cakes, or pastries that you and your friends make together! And while you are at it, do not forget to spread the joy and share those goodies with others so they, too, get to relish the holiday spirit. If you have not baked before or are not an expert at baking, don’t worry! You can find plenty of baking recipes online that are easy to follow, even for beginners.
Indulge In Some Shopping
Everyone loves new clothes or accessories for the holiday season! If you and your friends love to shop, there is no better time to indulge yourself. However, if you are working with a tight budget, there are plenty of sales during the festive season to shop from. Alternatively, the streets are alive with festive decorations during the holiday season, and you can have a wonderful time with your college buddies strolling around, checking out the window displays, and enjoying the décor while munching on yummy snacks.
Go On a Trip
If you have been craving a getaway throughout the year, the holiday season is the best time to act on it! Plan a memorable trip to a place you have always wanted to go to or where the budget allows. You do not have to indulge in a luxurious trip to have fun. Even a trip to a zoo, a botanical garden, a museum, or a nearby town may be enough to refresh your mind and give you a chance to reconnect with your college friends and spend a memorable time together.
Arrange a Holiday Party
There is nothing like rallying your friends and throwing a bash together. This allows you to connect with a lot of people and spend some great time together with some good music and food. If you want to get creative and raise the bar, you can even consider throwing a themed party, like a winter-themed bash or a masquerade party. You may need to plan more extensively to arrange such an event, like arranging a venue, food, and music. However, the results would be very rewarding as everyone will enjoy dressing up and dancing away the night and creating wonderful memories.
Paint the Town Red
Want to indulge in some crazy fun and experience a fun night out in the town? How about doing a bar crawl with your buddies? And if you want to enjoy the holiday spirit and are eager to get creative, go on an ugly sweater bar crawl with your buddies. Don on your ugliest, most crazy sweaters and enjoy a crazy night out with your pals, hopping from one club or bar to the next. Enjoy special drinks and dance away the night to have an experience you will remember for years to come.
Play Fun Games
If you are looking for ideas to spend some entertaining time with your pals, consider playing games- especially the ones that require teamwork and collaboration. You can do charades or Pictionary or even enjoy some outdoor games if the weather allows. Such activities are a great way to relax and spend some quality time together with friends. If you are planning to go on a trip together, you can also take along some board games.
Conclusion
Sometimes, the best memories are made when you do not plan anything and go with the flow. However, while you do not have to draft an itinerary for the holiday season, having a few ideas in your mind will help you plan your time better. Once you have short-listed a few activities, you can start planning and making the most of your time with your friends during the holiday season.
