Philadelphia Family Winter Holiday Family Fun Guide
Your guide to make the most of the holiday season with your kids in Philly.
Presented by Unless Kids and the Philly Family team
The holiday season in the Greater Philadelphia area is a time of warmth, tradition, and community, whether you’re gathering with family, hosting a festive celebration, or bringing loved ones together. From Thanksgiving’s family feasts to the twinkling lights of Christmas and Hanukkah, and the meaningful reflections of Kwanzaa, these months offer rich opportunities to create lasting memories and honor cherished cultural traditions. This guide is designed to help local families navigate the season with practical tips, creative celebration ideas, and insights that capture the unique spirit of holiday gatherings in our beloved Philadelphia region. Whether you’re planning a multi-generational dinner, looking for local event ideas, or seeking ways to make each celebration special, we’ve got you covered.
Philadelphia Family is published by a team of local women to connect families raising their kids in the city with resources, events, and each other. It all started with our vibrant Philly Family Community Facebook group dedicated to Building Community (join the conversation with our 5,000 local members!) and our Email Newsletters, which deliver our curated roundup of things to do in Philly every Thursday, as well as our latest news and updates from local businesses, each week! If you represent a family-focused local business or nonprofit organization, we’d like to invite you to join us as a Member to start collaborating!
