Dreaming of Holiday School?
As the days grow shorter and winter draws near, many homeschool families start to dream of a slower, cozier rhythm—a season of twinkle lights, warm cookies, and stories by the fire. Christmas homeschooling can be one of the sweetest times of the year, a chance to pause the usual routine and lean into memory-making with your children.
At The Peaceful Press, we’ve created several Christmas homeschool guides to help you cultivate joy, peace, and togetherness during the holiday season. Whether you’re a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, love hands-on holiday projects, or simply want to fill your December days with meaningful connection, these resources are here to guide you.
A day in one of our Christmas homeschool guides might include:
- 📖 Reading a beloved story like Christmas Day in the Morning or The Night Before Christmas
- 🍪 Baking cookies to share with neighbors and friends
- ❄️ Having a playful pretend snowball fight indoors
- 🎭 Crafting simple holiday projects such as a Santa mask or paper stars
- 🎨 Painting a nativity scene to display throughout Advent
- 🎶 Singing Christmas carols together as a family
Christmas Guide Volume 1 is our original fun-filled guide. It has a similar format to The Peaceful Preschool and Nourishing Nature Kindergarten, with daily suggestions for read aloud, phonics, counting, motor skills and more. We include recipes, crafts, and prompts for fun large motor activities. It's perfect for 3-5 year old students but even older elementary children will want to join in the fun.
Christmas Guide Volume 2 is the follow up to our original and includes all new phonics and counting activities, stories, recipes, art, and poetry. The phonics and math are a little more advanced than those that are included in Volume 1 which makes it perfect for kindergarten and early elementary students. It's also organized to accompany our history cycles with a week of Nature Christmas, Pioneer Christmas, European Christmas, and World Christmas.
Holiday Book Flood includes 25 daily picture book based activities for fun Christmas memory making. It's a perfect all ages guide to make the holidays bright and merry.

In Unearthing Wonder, our family guide to advent, we include 25 days of lessons to accompany the book All Creation Waits. Each day includes thoughtful readings, and family centered activities. It would make a lovely morning time guide or evening devotion resource.
Each guide is filled with holiday homeschool activities designed to help you create happy memories, cultivate connection, and keep the focus on what matters most this season. With a mix of read-alouds, crafts, recipes, and projects, your homeschool December can be both simple and magical.
If you’ve been wondering how to bring beauty and meaning into your Christmas homeschooling, our Peaceful Press holiday guides are the perfect place to begin.
