Six Family-Friendly Christmas Activities In December 2025
Can you believe Christmas is almost here already? Christmas is a gift. It’s a time to slow down, be with the people we love, celebrate the goodness of God, laugh, find joy and show generosity to others. Most of all, we get to thank God for sending His son, Jesus. That’s the heart of everything we do in this season.
We also love seeing families make memories together, so we pulled together a few free and family-friendly Christmas activities happening around Middle Tennessee. These events are close to our campuses and offer a fun way to experience the joy of the season in our communities.
