If the usual Christmas celebration doesn’t spark joy, Edinburgh’s Christmas activities are a refreshing alternative. From festive paint and sips to ornament painting, gingerbread house decorating, Christmas gameshows, and even escape rooms, there’s something for every kind of group. These experiences are designed to be social, interactive, and packed with laughs, making them perfect for friends, family, or colleagues. You’ll leave the usual Christmas clichés at the door and dive straight into hands-on festive fun. It’s a chance to be creative, competitive, or just silly, all while soaking up the season with your favourite people.
Activities are hosted by friendly, expert instructors who make everything approachable, so even if you’ve never held a paintbrush or rolled out icing before, you’ll leave feeling like a Christmas genius. Plus, you get to take home your creations or memories of a laugh-filled adventure. Whether it’s mastering a gingerbread house, solving a festive puzzle, or crafting the perfect ornament, these experiences bring everyone together in a way that’s playful, interactive, and much more memorable than the standard night out.
Expect a relaxed, sociable atmosphere where the emphasis is on having fun rather than being perfect. Instructors guide you step by step, whether you’re painting, decorating, or competing, but there’s plenty of room to put your own spin on things. You’ll laugh, chat, and maybe even get a little competitive as you and your group dive into the activity. Materials and equipment are provided, so there’s nothing to worry about except which colour or design you’ll choose. By the end, you’ll have something to show for your efforts, whether that’s a painted bauble, a gingerbread masterpiece, or simply the memory of a hilarious gameshow victory.
There are loads! Choose from gingerbread house decorating, wreath making, themed dance classes and much more!
Not at all. Instructors are friendly experts who guide you through every step, making sure you can join in whether it’s your first time painting, crafting, or solving puzzles.
