Christmas, like everything else, is going to look a little different this year, and that’s more than okay. Sure, plenty of us won’t find ourselves in the same room — or state — as our loved ones this season, but that doesn’t mean we should skip right over the holidays. It’s simply a testament to the fact that we need to find new ways of celebrating.

We’re all about finding fun creative ways to safely celebrate with our loved ones, make new traditions, and end this year on a fun festive, and stress-free note. Here are a few tips on things you can do to make the most of the season and ensure you don’t lose all the warmth and camaraderie the holidays provide.

Have a Movie Marathon

There’s nothing that brings the feeling of Christmas Nostalgia like watching your favorite Christmas Movies.

We recommend the classics-- Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Robert Zemeckis’s The Polar Express, and a Christmas Classic Tim Burton’s, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

While you sit back and relax enjoy a bag from our range of gourmet popcorn, made for sharing with friends and loved ones.

Host Yourself a Virtual Party

Most of Us have had a lot of screentime this year, but telecommunication feels different when it isn’t attached to work. If you’re loved ones are far away, you can host use Zoom parties to spend quality time with your loved ones.

Set the Scene at Home

What’s Christmas day without all the Bells and Whistles? Stop by in store for our extensive collections of trees, Wreaths, Baubles, stockings, and all the decor to make your home feel more festive.

Dress Up

Who says you have to leave your home to look and feel fabulous? Whether you’re staying indoors or going out this season, you deserve to look amazing. From the beaded luxury of Lisa Folawiyo’s New collection (available by pre-order only), to the flashy metallic tones of Sister Jane’s party collection, we’ve got you covered for all your event looks.

Go for Small Socially Distanced Events

We’ve spent so much time in isolation, it’s only human to desire social interactions. However, it’s important we do this in a safe and cautious manner. This week Temple Muse presented Re Olunuga’s Endless Ephemera, a private concert with music for String Quintet, French Horn, and Flute.

Stay tuned to our social media and newsletter for smaller, socially distanced events coming soon.
