Singing carols around the fire
One of the most beloved holiday traditions is gathering around the fire and singing carols.

Whether it’s playing the guitar, piano, or even a ukulele, adding musical accompaniment will bring a unique element to the experience.
Hosting a musical pot luck
Food and music have always been a perfect combination. Instead of hosting a traditional pot luck, why not plan a musical pot luck? Invite your musician friends and ask them to bring their instruments along with their favourite holiday dish. Each person can take turns performing a holiday song or a musical piece while others enjoy the food.

Advent calendars are a fun way to count down the days until Christmas. As a musician, you can put a creative twist on this tradition by creating a musical advent calendar. Each day leading up to Christmas, you can choose a holiday song or a piece of music that holds a special meaning to you. Share your selection with friends and family by performing it.
