The holiday season is just around the corner and we can’t wait to get started on all the preparations! But all parents know that our planning and scheduling really depend on every member of the family playing their part.
Holiday preparations can become incredibly stressful if your kids aren’t on board with the festivities. So, how do you get your little ones excited about the upcoming Christmas and New Year preparations?
This year, Giant Singapore has teamed up with none other than every kid’s favourite character, Peppa Pig to help you get your kids thrilled and engaged in the holiday spirit. As we all know, happy kids make for happy holidays, and this dynamic duo is here to make it happen.
Holiday Preparations: Don’t Let It Stress You Out!
The holiday season, while a time of celebration, can be a challenging period for parents. The hustle and bustle of shopping, decorating, cooking, and hosting gatherings can quickly turn into a source of stress when your children aren’t enthusiastic about participating.
When kids are disinterested or disengaged, parents often find themselves overwhelmed with the monumental task of making the holiday season special.
Getting your children excited about holiday preparations doesn’t just make your life easier; it also fosters a sense of togetherness, teaches important life skills to your kids, and creates lasting memories for the whole family.
Giant and Peppa Pig Ushers in the Best Christmas Ever
For the first time this holiday season, Giant Singapore is rolling out the red carpet for the most adored pig with a delightful accent to make this festive period truly unforgettable for kids and families alike.
Dubbed “The Best Christmas Ever,” Giant Singapore has something magical in store, featuring none other than Peppa Pig and her beloved family. This extraordinary holiday extravaganza is set to run from November 9th to December 27th across all Giant stores nationwide.
How to Get Kids Involved in the Holiday Preps
Hoping to get your kids on board with the festivities and preparations for the holiday season? Here are some ways to get them excited with the help of Giant:
- Decorate Together: Involve your kids in decorating the house for Christmas. Let them choose the colour scheme, put up the lights, and decorate the tree. Shop for the cutest Christmas decorations at the nearest Giant store in your area.
- Advent Calendar: Create an advent calendar with daily surprises or activities leading up to Christmas. For example, Day 1 includes putting up the Christmas tree. Day 2 is meeting Peppa Pig and George at Giant Tampines Hypermarket, and Day 3 is getting an adorable Peppa Pig plushie. It’s an excellent way to build anticipation and keep the excitement alive throughout December. It gives them something to look forward to.
- Holiday Movie Nights: Host regular family movie nights featuring classic holiday films or the holiday episodes of your child’s favourite TV show. Provide blankets and snacks, and let your kids choose the movie/show. This is a cosy and enjoyable way to build anticipation for the holidays. How about a Peppa Pig Christmas marathon? Or if you want to hit two birds in one stone, let your kids watch Peppa Pig episodes at Giant then you can go Christmas shopping afterwards.
- Plan the Christmas Feast with Them: Get their input when it comes to the holiday menu. Questions like, “What food reminds you of Christmas?” (Roast turkey always makes us think of family holidays) or “What’s your favourite holiday drink?” are sure to get them excited not only for the planning but shopping for the food. Be sure to explore Giant’s Christmas feast packages on giant.sg/christmas2023 to simplify your preparations.
- Give Them Something to Look Forward To: Kids aren’t really wired to do shopping yet. So while a trip to the supermarket can be therapeutic for us, it can be exhausting for them, unless there’s something in it for them at the end of the trip, like taking a cute photo inside Giant Tampines Hypermarket with Peppa Pig in the background or a Peppa Pig plush toy, perhaps?
