My Favorite Holiday Family Fun Activity

*This post is sponsored by Walmart+. All opinions are my own.

We went to see Grandma and Grandpa over the holidays and quickly realized we needed some fun-filled Christmas activities and holiday groceries to get in the Christmas spirit. I offered to order them through Walmart+ so they could be delivered. A huge plus because we didn’t have to go to the store and everything we needed could be delivered so we could continue to spend quality time together. Even more family showed up too so it was the perfect way to get everyone involved. A win-win.

Seriously, stop what you’re doing and sign up for Walmart+ (if you don’t already have it). You cannot get through the holidays without it. The amount of hours and money I’ve saved is impressive.

I got loads of icing, sprinkles, gingerbread houses, cookies to decorate, and matching hats and holiday outfits. It was so much fun. Colt baby probably used all the icing on one cookie but he loved it.

Check out my video on Instagram to see how much fun we had decorating cookies and building our gingerbread houses. The guys probably got more into it than Colt baby perfecting their gingerbread decorations.

Pro tip: Buy more icing than what comes in the package. I linked a few of my favorites. But this way everyone can grab a bottle of icing and decorate. It brings the family together so no one has to wait on decorating materials. I grabbed some extra sprinkles too!

You’ll also want to get a tablecloth, paper plates, and a plastic tray to build and display the gingerbread houses on. This will save you lots of time cleaning up too. I learned the hard way.

Trust me, in-store is not where you want to be spending your precious time. Get or gift the Walmart+ membership this holiday season.

Walmart+ is a membership by Walmart that helps you save more time & money. By helping families get whatever they need, whenever they need it, Walmart+ helps people take full advantage of anything their days may bring.

It’s the perfect membership to help you get through the holidays. I am here for anything that makes my day-to-day and holiday season more streamlined. With loads of family coming and going and having a toddler, I couldn’t do it without Walmart+.

Why I love it

Walmart+ is the go-to membership for all your holiday moments – gatherings both big and small, unexpected guests, family gifting, and more. With unlimited free delivery ($35 order min.  Restrictions apply.), a Walmart+ membership can make planning and prepping easier so that you can focus on enjoying quality time with friends and family. For that grocery item you forgot, or that friend who brought four more friends, Walmart+ lets you order again and again, with no extra fees. The same low price you get in stores!

A Walmart+ membership includes UNLIMITED free delivery from local stores ($35 order min.  Restrictions apply.). To me, this benefit alone is amazing because it will save so much time between getting and giving gifts, visiting family, hosting, and all the organizing and planning that comes with the holiday season. Not to mention save you a ton of money. I’ve already placed more than a few orders and paid for my membership with my savings.

I got loads of icing, sprinkles, gingerbread houses, cookies to decorate, and matching hats and holiday outfits. It was so much fun. Colt baby probably used all the icing on one cookie but he loved it.

Missing the crowds and not having to get out and about with a toddler is a lifesaver. It only took me 10 minutes to order and I saved hours by shopping online with Walmart+ so I could spend my time with family.

And guess what? The grocery delivery came the same day! I’m so impressed. It would have taken me 2 hours to go get it myself so I’m not even sure how they do it!
