Christmas is here!
Tis the season for cosy evenings, warm drinks and cherished family traditions. While the idea of curling up on your sofa and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate is tempting, why not change things up a bit for Christmas this year? Combat the indulgence of mince pies and mulled wine by adding a touch of activity and adventure to your Christmas plans!
Having an active Christmas doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the comfort, cheer and fun of the festive season. It’s about creating new memories and traditions and enjoying time together.
Whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or getting creative with hands-on Christmas activities, there are plenty of ways to keep the festive spirits high.
Here are 4 exciting ways to have an active Christmas holiday that’s memorable and special!
1. Go on a Quad Biking Adventure
Imagine a scenic ride through muddy fields and forests with blue skies overhead. You feel the cool breeze as you navigate 400 acres of greenery whilst riding quad bikes. Avalanche Adventure’s quad-bike safari is a perfect outdoor winter activity, book your Christmas adventure and have unforgettable festive fun with your loved ones!
Our adrenaline-filled quad bike safari is the perfect hands-on Christmas activity for you and your family. Lasting for roughly an hour, this activity will have you revelling in the breathtaking views of the English countryside. It’s the perfect way to get outdoors over the festive period whilst still spending time together.

2. Have a Christmas Scavenger Hunt
The joys of working as a team and the thrill of trying to find your list of items first, make a scavenger hunt an active Christmas game that is guaranteed to be lots of fun. It will help your children explore the outdoors and connect with nature whilst also helping them develop creative problem-solving skills.
As you look for Christmas-related items such as trinkets and bells, explore the outdoors and hike along a nature trail. Using time limits for your scavenger hunt can also make this a challenging and adventurous activity for everyone.
3. Go Sledging
If you’re blessed with a white Christmas this year, why not make the most of it and get outside for some sledging! It’s a popular winter sport and is perfect for the snowy weather. You’ll be squealing with joy and laughter as you and your family race down the slopes on a sledge.
If you have children along for the ride, choose gentler slopes and be sure to prop yourself as a backrest for them. It’s important to invest in high-quality sledges and wear waterproof clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for the activity.
For a magical sledging escapade, you’ll need to be near hills, so make sure you have some ideas in mind, ready for when the snow arrives! The stunning snowy landscapes will make your active Christmas activities a winter wonderland of laughter and memories.
From sledging to skiing and more, you can make your festive activities all the more fun and exciting.
4. Try Out Winter Archery
If you are looking to up the ante and make your active Christmas more thrilling, Avalanche’s archery session is just what you need! Book yourself in at our 13-meter blindfolded archery range for a Christmas activity that’s both therapeutic and competitive!
It’s a fantastic way to encourage and compete with your family while also teaching your children (and yourself) patience and skill. Since it’s safe for all ages, it makes for an engaging, fun and active Christmas activity for the whole family.
Paintballing, axe-throwing and clay pigeon shooting are other similar activities you can explore if ‘hitting a target’ is on the agenda for Christmas 2024.
This December – if you are looking for a group activity involving friends, family or colleagues, head to Avalanche Adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.
