So, for fun things to do in Netherlands during Christmas time, book yourself a LocalGroningen car puzzle route. The routes are accessible for everyone – designed as corona-proof lockdown activities – and for the December month they are made in Special Christmas themes. Read on to find out what makes these Christmas routes so special!
Visit Holland Christmas markets
You say Christmas, I say market. However, the current corona measures have canceled most of the regular Christmas markets again, so the big cities are not where you should be this year. Rather, it’s the local entrepreneurs of Groningen and Friesland where you should be, because they are bringing the Christmas atmospheres alive at their places!
During a Christmas special car puzzle route, you travel from one local Christmas market to another. And the best thing is that while the corona measures keep you from the too big and bustling crowds of regular Christmas markets, you can still enjoy the beautiful lights, savories roasted on crackling fire grills, and all the warmth that characterize the local Christmas markets.
Fun activities Netherlands
When you’ve had your fill of the Christmas market at the start location, you hop in your car and begin your route. During the route, you play fun Christmas games where you puzzle and navigate – old-school with a route book on your lap – through the far stretching landscapes of the North. And when you get at the finish location? You guessed it right, there’s a local Christmas market too! There you can warm yourself with a mug of hot cocoa or glühwein and enjoy delicious Christmas bites with festive lights dancing around you.
On your route there are of course plenty of other things to do during lockdown too. For example, you can stop at a forest or one of the natural reserves to and go for a walk through the beautiful winter wonderlands of the north. Or how about visiting one of the galleries on your way and enjoy the various Christmas art projects of 2021? The options are manifold – simply reach out to us to see what’s available on which date.
Travel Netherlands in culinary style
Enjoying everything that the North has on offer doesn’t stop with the Christmas markets. Between the start and finish location, you can enjoy a luxurious lunch package made with ingredients from the region that you’ll be driving through. This way, you can combine your nature walk with a nice picnic, or simply snack on your lunchbox while puzzling on the route.
Also, at the finish there’s more than a Christmas market! There are local ingredient boxes for you to cook a delicious meal at home and fresh takeaway meals in case you don’t feel like cooking anymore. And as a cherry on top, you can add a Christmas package filled with products from the local region.
The Christmas packages come in all forms and sizes (contact us if you want to customize your own Christmas package), perfect as a present to treat yourself with, or as a gift for someone who you want to make feel extra special this year!
