8 Fun Holiday Moments to Share With Your Kids
Inspired by the holiday tunes of Platoon Kids
The holidays are all about bright colors, big feelings and the little moments that kids hold onto long after the season ends. Our Holiday Fun playlist features festive tracks from Platoon Kids to soundtrack your holiday season!
If you’re looking for fresh ways to bring that holiday buzz into your home, we’ve rounded up eight family friendly ideas that play perfectly alongside the album and help you create a season that feels extra special and full of joy.
1. Make your own snow globes at home, inspired by "Shake Your Snow Globe".
Set up a small craft table with jars, glitter, figurines and glue sticks so children can build their own snow globes. It’s hands on, fun to personalize and will create a little keepsake they can shake all season!
2. Pump up the holiday excitement by decorating the tree to "Christmas Countdown”!
Put on "Christmas Countdown" when your decorations come out of the cupboard. Whether you are trimming the tree, hanging stockings or sorting all those wonderful Christmas ornaments, this track sets a happy tone for the weeks ahead.
3. Have a quick "Holly Jolly Good Time" dance break, inspired by “Holly Jolly Good Time".
Put on "Holly Jolly Good Time" and let everyone move in their own way, even if it’s just a wiggle or a twirl! It’s an easy way to lift the mood and get everyone smiling. Whenever the day feels slow or the mood needs a lift, children love any excuse to wiggle. Plus, it’s a really fun way for the whole family to reset.
4. Choose a family “Small Town Santa” to take turns spreading holiday cheer each week.
This song celebrates small acts of kindness, and you can encourage this at home by giving each family member a chance to be the “Small Town Santa” of the week! Whether it’s something small like helping a sibling tidy their room or something bigger like choosing a toy to donate to a local goodwill, each ‘Small Town Santa’ moment adds a little extra kindness to the season.
5. Make a cozy reading and music corner.
Choose a quiet spot at home, add a few cushions or blankets and switch on the album at a low volume, creating a calm place for children to read, draw or simply unwind when the day feels busy.
6. Keep a holiday memory scrapbook while jamming to “Christmas Cheer”!
Throughout the season, hold on to the little things that capture your family’s favourite moments such as photos, drawings, small souvenirs or ticket stubs. Add them to a scrapbook while “Christmas Cheer" and watch it grow into something you’ll look forward to opening each year.
7. Let the kids put on a mini holiday show.
Play the album and give them the stage, whether that’s the living room rug or a cleared bit of hallway. They might sing, dance, act out a scene or make it up as they go along! It’s simple, low pressure and usually very entertaining...with laughter guaranteed!
8. End the season with a quiet family reflection.
On the final evening of the season, turn the lights down, let the music play on and invite everyone to share one thing they enjoyed most. It’s a gentle way to wrap up the holidays and hold on to the moments that mattered.
Our Holiday Fun playlist really is the ideal soundtrack for decoration days, crafting afternoons and cozy evenings at home.
