Christmas in June: Celebrate Summer with a Touch of Holiday Magic

Who says the magic of Christmas only belongs in December?

At Hollow Woodworks, we believe that the joy, warmth, and creativity of the holiday season should be shared all year long—and summer is the perfect time to sprinkle in a little of that cheer.

That's why we're thrilled to announce the return of our annual Christmas in June celebration! It's a fun-filled tradition where families can enjoy festive activities, start planning thoughtful gifts early, and reconnect with what makes the holidays truly special—connection, imagination, and a whole lot of heart.

Why Bring Christmas to June?

Let's be honest: December is beautiful, but it's also incredibly hectic. Between winter weather, packed schedules, last-minute shopping, and holiday stress, it can be hard to slow down and savor the moments that matter.

But June? June gives us long sunny days, more time together, and a much-needed break from the rush of daily routines. It's the perfect time to step back, turn off the screens, and create lasting memories.

Whether you're celebrating at home, in the backyard, or on vacation, there's something whimsical about infusing the warmth of summer with a touch of winter wonder.

(Plus, our elves are busy during the holiday rush with the demand for handcrafted wooden toys, name stools, and keepsakes. Planning now means you'll be stress-free come December, while still giving your loved ones personalized gifts made with care, right here in the USA).

Fun & Simple Christmas-in-June Ideas

You don't need snow or sleigh bells to enjoy the spirit of the season. Here are six cheerful and creative ways to make your own Christmas in June memories:

Holiday Craft Day

Gather some paints, glue, glitter, markers—whatever you have on hand—and enjoy a festive craft session with the kids. Our unfinished wooden puzzles, name signs, and keepsakes are the perfect canvas for creativity. Let imaginations run wild—there's no need to stick to red and green!

Summer Stocking Scavenger Hunt

Add a twist to the classic Christmas stocking by using beach towels or flip-flops as "summer stockings." Hide small toys, treats, or clues around the house or yard for a fun scavenger hunt.

Bonus: Use our mini wooden name puzzles as a sweet prize at the end!

Christmas Picnic in the Park

Pack your favorite snacks—think cookies, watermelon slices, and lemonade—and set up a picnic with a holiday playlist in the background. Bring along your child's favorite wooden toys or name stools for an afternoon of relaxed, creative outdoor play.

Holiday Story Hour

Take a break from the summer sun and snuggle up indoors with a good book. Read classic Christmas tales like The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, or make up your own stories using wooden figures or characters from our toy collection. Encourage the kids to act out scenes with their name puzzles or toy animals.

Mini Tree Decorating Party

Who says tree decorating is just for December? Create a small holiday tree using craft supplies, cardboard, or a mini artificial tree.

Decorate it with paper ornaments, painted puzzle pieces, or old craft materials. You can even turn it into a "gratitude tree," where each ornament represents something your child is thankful for this summer.

Family Movie & Cookie Night

Put on your coziest pajamas (yes, even in June!), bake a batch of sugar cookies, and watch a favorite holiday film together. Classics like Elf, Home Alone, or The Santa Clause are a little different when viewed on a warm summer night—and might just become a new tradition.
