Family First: How To Keep Traditions Going

Many of our favorite traditions involve gathering in the same place with friends and extended family. But even if you can’t be in the same room, there are still plenty of creative ways to honor and enjoy these time-tested rituals at home.

Here are a few ideas to inspire your next celebration, and to help keep those incredible traditions alive! 

Do a virtual cooking class with your family 

Since we’re all spending more time at home, why not explore some home cooking together over video chat? It’s the perfect opportunity to share and pass down traditional recipes that have been in your family for generations. 

Plan a traditional game night 

Gather your family together for a little bit of friendly competition featuring games or activities you normally reserve for special occasions. A traditional game of Loteria is a great place to start, and creating your own boards is a fun activity for the whole family. 

Create a special playlist 

Whether you’re in the mood for some classic tunes, or perhaps something a little more modern — keeping your home alive with the sounds of your own culture is a great way to stay connected to your family’s traditions. Don’t forget to practice those dance moves, too!

Cheer on your team from home

Can’t make it to the stadium? Put on all your favorite fan gear, bust out the flags, and support your home team from your living room or backyard. You can even try recreating some of your favorite stadium snacks at home!
