Stumped on Christmas road trip activities for that upcoming trip? To your rescue- a free downloadable printable Christmas Road Trip Activity Book that your kids will enjoy!
Since many families don’t plan on attending any big family gatherings for Christmas this year, taking a road trip to a National Park in an RV, is quickly becoming a popular Christmas memory-making alternative.
(Yep, an RV! If you’re still working on those plans, consider using RV Share. This just maybe something you may want to consider!)
If you don’t plan to travel anywhere, stay local and consider driving to experience the Christmas lights in the city near you.
Irrespective of what your plans are, if you have young kids in tow, “Are we there yet?” is a phrase that never seems to grow old.
Bond over some good ol’ fashion Christmas road trip activities, even if you just plan to take a 20-minute drive out to those lights!
