Virtual Holiday Experiences
This post was written in partnership with Airbnb, all opinions expressed are my own - as always!
Many of us aren’t able to spend the holidays with loved ones in person this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still make memories together! For those who are remaining at home this season, Airbnb’s collection of online experiences offer unique, wonderful ways to connect with loved ones. Whether it’s learning a new skill together (mixology, cooking, collage making) or simply sharing a fun experience with family (meet santa! read stories! sing holiday songs!) - there’s something for everyone. I rounded up a few of my favorite experiences below, perfect for gifting to loved ones or booking for yourself! Happy holidays to you and yours.
Learn How to Throw a Holiday Dinner Party
Start this online class by meeting all of the students and learning the menu! Your host will show you all of their pro tips for making the dishes along with ideas on entertaining and setting up your dream kitchen.
An online session to learn about collage art - a great hobby for everyone and a fun way to explore your creativity! Your host will go over ideas and concepts with each one in the group while sharing tips and ideas (getting started, glue, finishing details) for creating your own collages. Cut & paste and have some fun!
