Christmas Activities

Isaiah 9:6-7

A child is born to us!

A son is given to us!

And he will be our ruler.

He will be called, “Wonderful Counselor,” “Mighty God,” “Eternal Father,” “Prince of Peace.”

His royal power will continue to grow;

his kingdom will always be at peace.  

He will rule as King David’s successor, basing his power on right and justice, 

from now until the end of time. 

The Lord Almighty is determined to do all this.

Christmas is a time that is filled with celebrations with family and friends. Getting caught up in the fun that Christmas and the holiday season brings can also mean that we can forget what it is all about: Christ. Check out these faith-based activities that will help ensure that your family prioritizes Jesus as the center of the most wonderful time of the year!

The Christmas Candy Cane Story: Say, “According to legend, a long time ago, a candymaker made the Christmas candy cane to tell the real Christmas story. He chose pure white candy for the virgin birth and to remind us that Jesus is sinless. He made the candy hard so it would remind us that Jesus is the solid rock and that all God’s promises are solid. The candymaker made the candy in the shape of a “J” to remind us of Jesus who came to Earth as a baby and became our Saviour. He added stripes. Real candy canes have stripes for the blood Jesus shed for us on the cross to give us eternal life.”

Give out the two candy canes. Say: “Jesus came at Christmas to make a way for us to go to heaven to be with him forever. Keep one candy cane, and give the other one to someone else and share the story of the candy cane.”
