100 Christmas Bucket List Ideas

100 Christmas Bucket List Ideas

 

According to the dictionary, a bucket list is “a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish over a lifetime.” Most people have made a bucket list without even realizing it. Every time you say “I want to try that” or “I would like to go there someday,” you’re basically just adding something new to your bucket list!

But have you ever made a bucket list just for Christmas? I happen to make one every year, but I’m rarely able to mark all of my goals off by the end of the season. One of the great things about a bucket list though, is that your goals can stay on it as long as you want!

My bucket list for this Christmas season includes:

  • Go to Dollywood
  • Have a Christmas Scavenger Hunt
  • Take Ugly Sweater Photos
  • Have a sing-along
  • Christmas lights
  • Read the Nativity Story
  • Attend a Church play or local event

 

Just in case you need new ideas for your own Christmas Bucket List, I’ve written down 100 of them! And included a “fill in the blank” bucket list printable too!
