Get into the Holiday Spirits in London this December

[Ad- Collab] There are tons of things to do in London, especially around the holiday month! We love getting into the Christmas spirit by visiting London and checking out all of the different places within London to explore. If, unlike me, you live a bit far out from London, you should consider traveling into the area with the VIP pass, which will give you massive deals on places to stay, which can really make a difference in your experience. The VIP Pass gives you 7d/6n FREE hotel stay as a sign up bonus when you purchase the premium membership pass. But, let’s get into some of the fun things that you can do in London in December.

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is an annual festival that happens right in Hyde Park in London. It’s a massive Christmas-themed market, fair grounds, and festive area. You can meet Santa there, eat a bunch of different foods, ride some rides, and pick out some Christmas gifts for your loved ones. We always go to Winter Wonderland in the month of December. Ensure that you do pre-book, though, so that you can make it in. There are different priced tickets, and if you go midweek in the morning, it’s actually completely free to enter Winter Wonderland, which can be a big help to your budget.

Waboba Moonshine a Light Up Ball

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to bouncy balls, there are tons and tons in our house hold. We have a whole back yard box filled with balls of various sizes, as well as smaller bouncy balls in the house. Having different varieties of bouncing balls is something that most families do have, however, the Waboba Moonshine ball is a bit different – it actually lights up. This ball looks like the moon and lights up like the moon, which has peaked the curiosity of everyone in the household.

A Day Out at Lumagica – Light festival with impressive illuminations

Dann and I have been pretty into light festivals over the last few years. We have gone to Lightopia, Chihuly: Reflections and Ashford Illuminates – which have all had a different feel to them. When in Norway, we figured we’d check out Lumagica, which seems to be a worldwide light festival, but is not one either of us had heard of or attended before. Lumagica was a unique experience, but most closely seemed to be a mix of Chihuly and Lightopia, in the way it was set up and ran.

Christmas Dinner for Two with QBag

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to Christmas time, there are normally huge, elaborate dinners that could feed a family of ten. It doesn’t make much sense to cook a bunch of different sides when there is only two of you. My family live in an entire different continent, which means that I am probably not having a huge Christmas dinner most years. And, sometimes, you just want a large Christmas-themed dinner mid December, to get yourself into the spirit. QBag is a perfect solution for this, as you can cook an entire Christmas dinner in one bag, with very little clean up. This recipe is one that you can shift and change depending on what you want in your Christmas Dinner.
