Christmas Bucket List Printable & 50 Ideas for the Holiday Season

Christmas Bucket List Printable: A fun way to come up with new ideas for the holiday season with this free printable!

Christmas Bucket List Ideas

I am such a sucker for Christmas and holiday traditions.

The hot cocoa, decorations, Christmas music, and the list goes on. But I wasn’t always this way… especially during the hard times that we went through but after going through so much trauma, the holiday season makes me giddy!

So watch out… we’re going to tackle this year’s Christmas bucket list pretty hard and this bucket list is going to come in super handy and I thought you’d like it too!

Christmas Bingo

Now, you can use this printable (access it at the bottom of this post) as just a guide for your holiday season, giving you something festive to do each day as a count-down but if you want to add a little extra fun (hence the “bingo” verbiage) get a few families/friends together and see who can bingo first!

Have every person (family/group) chip in money, gift card, small prizes, etc. and whoever “bingo’s” first, wins the goodies!

TIP: Make sure that one of the rules is to take a photo of each activity to show proof that it was actually done! Plus… some of the activities could be super easy to do, so maybe add a little extra rule saying that they can only “bingo” after completing 15 or so.

Christmas Bucket List

For more of a “bucket list” approach, simply perform one of the Christmas activities and mark it off with a fun “dobber” when complete. For instance, you could grab some of those super cute, glittery pom-poms and glue it on each item that you complete.
Or, use something like Christmas candy like gumdrops or the green, silver, and red Hershey kisses!
