Make your RV a warm, festive haven for the holidays! With a little planning, you can make this season stress-free and memorable, even in a small space.
Festive, Holiday Meals
Plan Your Menu: Pick simple recipes that are easy to prep in advance. Think sheet pan meals, slow cooker dishes, and one-pot recipes for effortless feasts.
Go Non-Traditional: A charcuterie board is perfect for easy holiday hosting! Include a variety of cheese, cured meats, nuts, and dried fruit for a beautiful and low-prep spread.
Dine Al Fresco: If weather permits, set up a picnic or folding table outside for an open air holiday meal.
Easy Meal Clean-Up: Compostable or disposable dishware cuts down on dishes, and a few microfiber cloths are perfect for spills and quick wipe-downs.
Christmas Spirit on the Go
Decorate Small: Check out our previous newsletter How to Deck Out Your RV for the Holidays. Trim a mini Christmas tree or hang some string lights and garland for a special post Thanksgiving meal tradition.
Give Thoughtfully: Opt for compact, meaningful gifts like gift certificates or experiences (like park passes) that are useful and easy to store.
Hostess Gifts: If you’re visiting fellow RVers, bring along a small gift like our camping-themed flour sack towels. Pair with a bottle of wine, a festive spatula, or a cute kitchen mitt for a fun and functional gift!
Sleeping Arrangements: Convertible beds or bunks are great when space is at a premium but make sure they're comfortable! Upgrade your mattress or add a foam mattress topper for a comfy night’s sleep.
Pitch a Tent: If the weather allows and you have older kids or teens, set up a tent or hammocks outside! It gives everyone extra room and a fun, adventurous space to sleep.
Bedding Essentials: Stock up on extra sheets, pillows, and blankets to ensure everyone is warm and comfortable.
Welcome Guests: Set out a new doormat for guests to wipe their feet to keep from tracking the outdoors inside.
Make It Memorable
Traditions To-Go: Bring along some family traditions! A holiday movie night, board games, or even a mini photoshoot can create lasting memories.
Enjoy the Outdoors: If you’re in a scenic spot, a holiday hike or crackling campfire adds an extra holiday touch.
Wherever you’re celebrating this season, may it be filled with warmth, love, and wonderful memories. Happy Holidays from AB Lifestyles!
