Blogmas Day 12: Festive Activities to do with Friends

The Christmas period is all about spending time with friends and family but with the cold weather it can be difficult finding things to do with friends without spending a fortune. Here are just a few suggestions for fun activities to do with friends during the festive season:

1) Have a hot chocolate date! One of the best things about the cold weather is drinking hot chocolate so I always find it's really nice to get a friend over and have hot chocolate together and some tasty snacks. This is a really cute festive way to see your friends without spending any money at all.
2) Visit a Christmas market! It's always fun to wander round a Christmas market and have a browse at the stalls and maybe do a spot of Christmas shopping. If you want something that will put you in a festive mood then the atmosphere at a Christmas market and the cold air certainly will, plus it doesn't cost a penny (apart from anything you buy).

3) Do a Christmas craft! This is another really fun activity that you can do from home. Last week I invited a friend over and we made paperchains together and ate Christmas biscuits, it was so much fun and a great way to decorate our flat too.

4) Go for a walk to see Christmas lights! Going for walks is one of my favourite things to do when it's cold, for me it just brings back so many childhood memories. I especially love going at night and seeing all the Christmas lights. I actually did this tonight with a friend who I am not going to see again until New Year (and I even remembered her Christmas present) but it was such a nice thing to do together and great to have a catch-up.

5) Grab some lunch! I know that this technically isn't festive or free but getting lunch with friends is a lovely thing to do all year round. I went for lunch with a friend after an exam as it's a great way to relax. We found somewhere that wasn't too expensive and shared the biggest nachos ever! Plus most places are beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations so it's still kind of festive.
