Jam out in some holiday PJ’s

Throw on some snuggly holiday PJ’s and crank the AC way up. Once you’re all toasty, turn on one of your favorite Christmas classics on Disney+.

Digitally light a fire

Since temperatures are reaching 80’s and 90’s around the country, set the mood with the virtual Yule Log or with the snow falling on Main Street USA.

 Bake and eat all the Holiday cookies 

We love any holiday that gives us an excuse to eat copious amounts of cookies. Why not bake up some of those holiday favorites like the below. If you need some inspiration, check out the The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition on Hulu.

• Gingerbread Cookies from the Bakery at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Gingerbread Bundt Cake from Central Bakery at Disneyland Resort 
• Disney Parks Blog Inspired Sugar Cookies
• Plant-Based Cookie Fries Recipe from Beaches & Cream Soda Shop
• And for the adults, A Disney Cruise Line Christmas Cookie Cocktail

Nothing like a warm beverage

A piping hot mug of hot chocolate is the perfect compliment to all of those cookies that you just baked up. For a special hot chocolate based on the white hot chocolate with cinnamon marshmallows from last year’s Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays,  click here for the print at home recipe.

Deck your phone with all the backgrounds

Add some tinsel to your tech with the some festive holiday backgrounds for all your devices. Check out Disney Parks wallpaper page and search for “Holidays”  for all the holiday backgrounds you could ever want.

Remix some carols

What would Christmas be without so Christmas carols, but it is 2020, so we might as well remix those classics into something a little more modern. Check out the below holiday song from RadioDisney to get in the holiday mood.
