Christmas is just around the corner, and the low temperatures already make people avoid the outdoors.

Continue reading this article and find out our ideas about a cozy family garden gathering in December.
Make Your Backyard Cozy, Comfy, and Fun
We recently wrote an article about how to turn your backyard into your cold season heaven, sharing some of our best ideas about making your outdoor space comfortable, cozy, and fun for the whole family. For instance, to make your garden comfier and the weather bearable, you can add a source of heat. Whether it’s a fire pit or an outdoor heater, its warmth will enhance your winter gathering. A comfortable seating area, lights for a relaxed atmosphere are other things you can add to make the space more welcoming.
Also, don’t forget to keep yourself warm, especially if you are the grill master. Grilling gloves are a must to make cooking easier and, we also recommend a toasty coat, neck protection, and thick socks. In addition, a few blankets and extra coats for unprepared guests who need extra coziness won’t hurt.
Host a Memorable Winter BBQ Party
Our favorite family activity is sharing delicious foods while enjoying the outdoors, so we can’t think of a better garden gathering than a December barbecue. Imagine your loved ones sitting together around the source of heat, sipping hot drinks while your smoker cooks, for instance, a delicious brisket.
In case you don’t have a smoker, we suggest you choose the easier and more convenient option and upgrade your grill with a premium Z-Smoker Pellet Tube. And, if brisket is not your cup of tea, here is a list of finger kicking smoked side dishes. Or maybe you’d like a delicious menu, perfect for a fancy December BBQ?
Play in the Snow with the Whole Family
If you’re lucky to live in an area where winters are snowy, your garden is the perfect playground. Playing in the snow is something both kids and adults can enjoy. Make snow angels, have a snowball fight, build a snowman, or even a fort. When all the players are tired, relax and warm up by the fire pit, indulging in a cup of tea and a sweet treat.
If you want to spoil your family, you can heat your smoker and sweeten up the day with a delicious smoked dessert.
Indulge in Delicious Moments: S’more Roasting with the Little Ones
Since we are talking about dessert, it’s time to mention one of most kids’ favorite outdoor sweet treats. Roasted marshmallows make children’s taste buds run wild and, if you let them participate in the cooking process, the excitement escalates. So, if you want to surprise your little ones with a tasty outdoor moment, equip yourself with their preferred ingredients for s’mores, a set of kid-friendly roasting sticks and get the party started.
The Caprpathen Campfire Roasting Sticks for Marshmallows and Hot Dog, for instance, are a fantastic choice. You get six rotating marshmallow sticks, with natural wood handles and tip protectors for safety, as well as a cool and useful storage canvas pouch and an Ebook with amazing cooking recipes.
Decorate Your Garden for Christmas
We already talked about making your garden cozy for winter. But, with only a few days left until Christmas, it’s the perfect time to get your garden in the holiday spirit. Take advantage of this opportunity and make this a family activity. If you want to get crafty, you can even make some festive decorations with your kids. Imagine how much fun they’ll have! Or, you can invite some friends over, indulge in mulled wine, put something on the grill, and decorate your garden together.
