Festive fun, one spin at a time

December gets busy, and the fun festive things are often the first to be forgotten. This wheel has twelve Christmas activities, from baking cookies to driving around to see the lights. Spin it on a cosy evening and do whatever it picks.

Make a wheel advent calendar

  1. Add 24 activities, one for each day of advent.
  2. Open Settings and turn on Remove winner automatically.
  3. Name the wheel “Advent 2026” and save it under My wheels.
  4. Each day, open it and spin. Each activity is removed once done, so no repeats.

Mix in small things like “hot chocolate and a film” with bigger outings like ice skating, so busy days still work.

Activity ideas to add

Cosy at home: Christmas pyjamas and a film, a festive board game, homemade decorations

Kind and giving: donate toys, write cards to neighbours, help at a food bank

Out and about: ice skating, Christmas market, carol concert, a winter walk

Classroom: festive word search, design a Christmas jumper, Christmas charades

Holiday games

The wheel works for holiday party games too: make a Christmas charades list, a festive forfeit wheel, or a wheel to decide who opens the next present. Save each one under My wheels and bring them out every year.

Christmas Activity Wheel: frequently asked questions

How can I use the Christmas wheel as an advent calendar?

Add 24 activities, turn on "Remove winner automatically" in Settings, and spin once each day in December. Save the wheel so it remembers what's left.

Can I use the wheel for Secret Santa?

The wheel picks one name at a time, so it works for drawing names in person. Turn on "Remove winner automatically" so nobody is drawn twice, and make sure nobody draws themselves.

Is this suitable for the classroom?

Yes. Teachers use it for festive activities in the last weeks of term, such as crafts, carols and Christmas quizzes.

Can I add my own family traditions?

Yes. Replace or add entries in the entries box. Your saved wheel stays in your browser for next year.
