The holidays are coming up, which means it’s time to get matching holiday pajamas with your friends and make hot cocoa to celebrate! December is the most magical time of the year, so spending it with the people you love the most makes it even more special. Although final exams are coming up, it is okay to take a day to relax and have fun with your friends. Here are some activities that are perfect for a fun holiday night. 

1. Watch Christmas Movies 

Nothing is cozier than wearing cute Christmas pajamas and sipping a sweet hot chocolate while watching your favorite holiday movies! It is the perfect way to feel festive and enjoy a peaceful evening while watching a movie. My favorite Christmas movie is the Polar Express!  

2. Holiday Craft Night 

Being in college, most of us are on a budget, so having a craft night is perfect for getting holiday decorations without spending money. DIY decor is cheap and totally cute! Get together with friends and blast Christmas music while creating holiday decorations for your dorm room. 

3. Gingerbread Houses 

Decorating gingerbread houses has always been one of my favorite activities during the holidays. It can be fun working together to create a cute house or have friendly competition to see who’s is the best.  

4. Gift Shopping 

Sometimes Christmas gift shopping can feel like a chore, so bringing a friend can make it feel so much more fun. Having someone to talk to while you shop is way more enjoyable. It’s even better if you stop for coffee or a treat before you go! 

5. Visit Snowport 

Snowport is a holiday market in Boston which has cute shops and delicious food. It is definitely worth visiting with a friend. It’s fun to shop around for gifts, eat, and take cute pictures. It’s best to go around 3 o’clock when it is not too busy and you can still get cute pictures when the sun sets!
