A Day Out at Christmas at Blenheim Palace

Dann is a big fan of Christmas markets, and I love light trails, so he set up a little date night at Christmas at Blenheim Palace! This palace is one of the few that we have not been too previously, and we were excited to see it all decorated and set up for the festive season. The palace’s Christmas market is free to enter, with optional ticket add-ons for an in-palace tour and a light trail! We ended up only going for the light trail this year as they are some of my favorite things to walk around and see.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and Magical Ice Kingdom

Every year, we go off to the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland event! Some years we go as a date night with just Dann and I, other years we take all three of our children to have a magical and festive time. This year, we took our kids. Winter Wonderland is a bit of an expensive place – especially as they now have a ticket price to get in, but if you do pre-book enough activities, this entry fee is waved and you are able to go in for free, technically. We ended up booking up tickets to Magical Ice Kingdom, which has always been apart of the event, however we had never gone to it!

Winter’s Tail at Chessington World of Adventure

Chessington World of Adventure is an amusement park that we do not often go to, despite it being quite nearby! It’s quite a fun and large amusement park, though we didn’t get a chance to go this year, so I was pretty excited to hear about their Winter’s Tail advent for the holiday season. The park itself is limited during this event, but what is there has been transformed into a winter wonderland, with seasonal shows and special events going on that are themed with this time of year. There is also a lot included in your ticket price, as long as you go to each one.

Orbeez Mini-Playset – a silly activity set

[Ad- gifted product] Robin has really loved trying out many different toys. One of the things we haven’t actually played with in our home is Orbeez! Orbeez are these little orbs which sort of feel wet but also aren’t wet. They aren’t good toys for young ones who may ingest them, due to the nature of the toy itself, but once you have children old enough to play with Orbeez, there is a lot of fun to be had in the texture and general feel of these orbs! The Orbeez Mini-Playset is a sort of carrying case for your orbs, along with a little playset that gives you an activity.
