More Christmas Outreach Ideas for Kids
15. Holiday Card Swap
Students create personalized Christmas cards, attach a selfie, and send them to missionaries the church supports. This helps teens connect globally.
16. Random Acts of Christmas Kindness
First form teams. Give each a list of 10 kindness tasks and race to finish. Examples: leave quarters at a laundromat, give out candy canes at a gas station, return carts for people at grocery stores.
17. Christmas Pet Treat Drop-Off
Teens make simple pet treats and deliver them to local shelters. Include a handwritten note: “Merry Christmas from our youth group!”
18. Free Christmas Photos
Teens set up a simple photo backdrop at the church or a park. Then they take free family photos for anyone who wants them. Simply email the images to participants.
Christmas outreach ideas don’t have to be complicated or exhausting. When students bless their community, they make memories, draw closer to Jesus, and have a blast.
Your youth group may not remember every sermon from December. But they’ll remember the time you wrapped strangers’ presents in a parking lot or decorated cookies with foster kids. And that’s the kind of Christmas impact that lasts.
