Get into The Christmas Spirit Just in Time for The Holidays So, don’t worry if you’re just not feeling Christmas today. Wanna know how to get into the Christmas spirit? Just take a read of our top 8 tips — enough to make anyone sing “Deck the halls!”. 1. PRESS ‘PLAY’ ON YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY MUSIC Mariah. Nat King Cole. Frank Sinatra. Ariana Grande. There’s no judgement here! Whoever sings your favorite Christmas anthem, now is the time to lean on them.
No matter the films you choose, get comfy and prepare for a back-to-back helping of festive feel-good. You’ll be amped for Christmas in no time.
Nothing fast-tracks you into the holiday spirit quicker than a festive sing-along. So, head over to Spotify, or wherever you stream your music from, and select one of the many Christmas-themed playlists — the perfect backing track to any of the following festively fun activities. 2. DECORATE THE CHRISTMAS TREE Let’s face it. Stepping through your front door and seeing the warming lights of a Christmas tree — that really is magic, isn’t it?
4. BAKE Think about it for a second: which aromas really remind you of Christmas?
But you need to be a little strategic about when you put up your Christmas tree, if you want it to last until January 6th.
Perhaps its mulled wine, or pine trees, or — most likely — its gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, Christmas cake and cinnamon.
Most trees will drop their needles within about four to six weeks of being cut. So, as it’s already mid-December – go for it!
So, bring your house to life with all those indulgent festive scents, not by heading down to a local candle store, but by rustling up a tray of delicious baked treats.
3. BINGE A FESTIVE BOXSET
And you don’t need to be a culinary whizz to get them right. Christmas cookies simply need flour, butter, sugar and your preferred Christmassy flavoring (we’re big fans of coconut snowballs, if you’re asking).
As with Christmas music, whatever you deem to be a festive film, is whatever you deem to be a festive film. Some take a classic approach, favoring Miracle on 34th Street. Others prefer a slightly left-field approach, choosing Die Hard or Gremlins. And you know what? The film you watch doesn’t even need to be set at Christmas time, to get you in the holiday spirit. Perhaps it simply came out around Christmas and so reminds you of the festive excitement of childhood; the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one that springs to mind. 22
