We marvel at their wide-eyed wonder and joyous expressions as they see the big day approaching. To keep them entertained, Strasbourg Capital of Christmas offers a wealth of ideas.

We present to you a selection of playful activities that will delight both young and old alike!

Decorate the Christmas Tree in My Neighbourhood

Throughout the Strasbourg Capital of Christmas event, trees are set up in the heart of the neighbourhoods, ready to be decorated by children from schools, community centres, or associations involved in local life. These creations uphold the Christmas spirit through collective and participatory workshops.
