Brought to you by NOW
From ice-skating trips to seaside walks, there’s plenty to do as a family over the Christmas period.
While we all love to lounge at home eating the last of our selection boxes during the Christmas holidays, the festive period is also the perfect time to get out and about and enjoy some quality time with our family.
Fancy a family day out, but not sure where to start? Fret not, as we’ve got three gorgeous activities to brighten up the days surrounding Christmas this year.
Ice-skating
This Christmas families can enjoy a fabulous session on the ice with NOW on Ice at Swords Pavilions and Dundrum Town Centre. Whizz around the ice with your little ones as you enjoy the festive atmosphere and plenty of great tunes on the speaker. Afterwards, keep the good vibes going by enjoying a well-earned hot chocolate with all the trimmings at one of the many great vendors in Swords Pavilions and Dundrum Town Centre. You can book your tickets for Swords here, and click here to book a session at Dundrum.
Christmas light spotting
Pile on the layers, pop some hot chocolate in a flask and take your bunch out for a spot of Christmas light spotting. Enjoy a spin around the neighbourhood taking in your favourite decorations or pop into the city centre and grab some snaps of the dazzling lights on some of Dublin’s most iconic streets, including Grafton Street, O’Connell Street, George’s Street and Temple Bar.
Seaside adventures
From Howth to Dalkey and further afield, Dublin’s picturesque coast is doted with beautiful seaside towns waiting for you to explore them. Walk along one of the bay’s famous piers, stroll the sandy shores of Portmarnock or Killiney, and if you’re feeling brave, dip your toes into the icy waters. Afterwards, warm up with a tasty fish and chips dinner. Can’t beat it!
Once you’ve had your fill of outdoor activities, curl up on the couch and enjoy a festive movie. Right now, you can enjoy Christmas blockbusters plus box sets by signing up for NOW‘s festive offer, which includes a NOW Cinema Membership for €7.99 for six months, plus a month’s free NOW Entertainment Membership.
