Create the Holidays 2020
Home » HOLIDAYS & EVENTS »Welcome to Create the Holidays 2020 (formerly Create Christmas) on The Purple Pumpkin Blog – now in its 9th year! It is the annual series that I have been running through the month of December since 2012, with seasonal recipes, printables, crafts, and ideas for the holidays!
Create the Holidays 2020
I have decided to switch the original name of Create Christmas to Create the Holidays to be more inclusive of other winter holidays celebrated around this time of year.
As someone who celebrates Christmas, there will be a lot of Christmas content as there always has been – and there is plenty from Christmases past too!
But I also want to be able to include recipes, crafts, printables, and other ideas for Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, New Year, and all the other things celebrated during the winter months.
I have always started this series on 1st December, but it is more realistic to start it on 1st November because we all seem to run out of time the closer it gets to the holidays!
Holidays Ideas 2020
This year’s Holiday ideas can be found below. I’ve broken the list into crafts, Disney Christmas ornament crafts, savory recipes, desserts, cocktails & drinks,
