    Holiday classics are always on TV this time of year. Stay inside, grab a blanket, and get some popcorn for a family movie night. Some of the classic holiday flicks include National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf and so many more.

    Cookie Decorating

    St. Cloud

    Whether you're a skilled baker or not, don't let that stop you from putting your cookie-decorating skills to the test. There are several stores that have ready-made cookie decorating kits, or you can find the supplies you need and bake them yourselves. Maybe even show your kids grandma's secret cookie recipe so they can make them next year.

    Christmas Light Displays

    St. Cloud

    Even if you're not one for putting up Christmas lights, that doesn't mean you still can't admire someone else's work. Gather the family and hope in the car to find the wonderful Christmas light displays in your own neighborhood. Look closely, as you may even find a display tied to music that you can play from inside your car. If you can't find any, make your way to Sartell where the County Lights festival will still be showcasing its amazing light display around Lake Francis.
