Five ways to show up for your loved ones this festive season

The holiday season is upon us!

From hangouts and concerts to carnivals and get-togethers, December is, indeed, alive with colourful events. With the festive season before us, here are five ways you can make this holiday season a special one for you and your loved ones.

Spend Time Together

Rather than rushing around shopping for your loved ones, why not spend time with them? Attend a Christmas play, bake cookies, attend a concert or simply have a fun game night. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season and your regular routine to simply be together. Those memories last longer.

Perform an Act of Kindness

A nice way to celebrate Christmas is to express love to your family and friends through an act of kindness. Having a grateful mindset is essential to enjoying the holiday season. You can show kindness by giving a variety of gifts during the Christmas season, from fancy items to thoughtful and personalised presents, money, or even a year-long Showmax subscription.

Make your favourite meals

Christmas would not be complete without special meals prepared at home. Making your favourite meals with your loved ones will lift your spirits and make for a joyous Christmas celebration. You can also use this opportunity to finally learn how to make something that reminds you of them.

Take on a Christmas movie marathon on Showmax

Christmas movie marathons have become a popular holiday activity among loved ones. Why fight the urge when you have everything you need right at home? To stay warm, all you need is a streaming service, a bowl of popcorn, and a cosy blanket. Streaming on Showmax, allows you to spend quality time with your loved ones. With the streaming platform’s “Have a Showmax Festive” campaign, you can be sure to enjoy a variety of entertaining content.

Take a trip

Travelling during the holiday season can be an excellent way to spend quality time with those you care about. It’s the ideal time to disconnect from daily stresses and reconnect with the things that really matter in life: family, friends, laughter, love, gratitude, and spreading warmth. Discuss places you’d like to visit, restaurants you’d like to try, events you’d like to attend, and unusual places you’d like to visit. It is an excellent opportunity for you and your loved ones to try something new.
