Binge holiday movies on Netflix - Holidate, Christmas Inheritance, Operation Christmas Drop, The Christmas Prince & The Princess Switch are some of our favs!
Read a good book (check out our Amber’s Book Club blog posts for recommendations!).
Make cookies, hot chocolate bombs or any other festive food or drink item.
Start (and possibly finish) a puzzle.
In a Holidaze is probably the most popular holiday book this season! A very fun, cute & entertaining read.
Happy weekending!
