A Green Christmas is one of the best gifts we can give our planet! Here are simple, joyful ways to prepare for an eco-friendly Christmas, it is perfect for families, schools, and eco clubs to follow or share. Have you ever celebrated a Green Christmas before? If so, was it just as good as the other way of celebrating Christmas?
Choose Thoughtful, Sustainable Gifts
- Give handmade or locally made items to support small businesses.
- Try eco books, recycled crafts, or experience gifts (like nature walks or eco workshops).
- Wrap presents using reusable cloth, old newspapers, or recyclable wrapping paper; skip glitter and plastic ribbons.
Decorate Naturally
If you are one shopper who over spend at Christmas time and you want to enjoy the season without regrets when it is done. You will be glad to have the great ideas you will find in this blog post.
- Use pinecones, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, or paper stars for a warm, natural feel.
- Create DIY decorations with your children from recycled materials; a fun family project that teaches sustainability!
- Choose an eco-friendly Christmas tree:
- Rent a live tree or replant one after the season.
- If using an artificial tree, keep reusing it for many years.
- Use nicely decorated reusable bags for gift giving.
3. Save Energy with Smart Lighting
When these Smart Lighting options are given as Christmas gifts, we are encouraging each other to save money as we save the planet.
- Use LED fairy lights; they use 80–90% less energy.
- Put lights on a timer to avoid waste and save on your electric bill.
- Turn them off before bedtime; it’s better for the planet and your safety.
. Plan an Eco-Friendly Feast
Having an Eco-friendly feast with family and friends will cause you to have long and lasting memories that are simply beautiful. Don’t allow this great opportunity to pass you by this year. There are useful tips here; use them to reduce the cost.
- Buy local, organic ingredients to reduce food miles.
- Use reusable plates, cups, and cutlery (no disposables!).
- Avoid food waste by cooking just what’s needed by communicating well with those who are invited, and compost leftovers if possible.
5. Sing & Learn Green
- This season, let kids sing eco Christmas songs or eco nursery rhymes from the Eco-Kids Project at FunWritings.com . Planning for the green future is not just talk, it involves action. Our sustainable future will become a reality when we act.
- Through music and storytelling, children learn how to protect nature while celebrating with joy. Sustainability for kids is important and you can begin telling children about making their future great so they can begin planning to decrease pollution as they make their future bright.
6. Give Back to the Planet
Giving back to the Planet is the best thing we can do. If previous generations didn’t protect the planet we would not be here enjoying life in this way today. Let is think about the next generation and the others to come as, as much as we possibly can.
- Plant a tree or donate to an environmental cause instead of sending cards.
- Encourage family and friends to make a “Green Pledge” — like recycling more or saving water in the new year.
. Spread Eco Awareness
Telling more children about the simplified eco-friendly solutions and tips each day is now possibly. Parents and friends can place orders for children’s books on Amazon, Bookfusion and Gumroad. These kids books are filled with the simplified eco-friendly solutions and tips can be used by everyone.
- Share tips about eco-friendly living on social media.
- Support projects like the Eco-Kids Project that help children learn about sustainability through fun stories and songs. The buttons are found below.

Wowed by all the suggestions, many of which I currently use and many I can put into practice!
We have been using the same tree, decorations and lighting for many years 🎄
Always, though, there is so much more we can do and still have a great and green Christmas.
Once again, thanks so much… 🙏

Love the idea of having a green Christmas. We actually made our own Christmas cards this year and typically try to make some homemade gifts as well (like cookie mix in a jar).
Great, when more people try to save the planet we will have a better future
I really like the concept of a green Christmas. This year, we crafted our own Christmas cards and usually enjoy making some handmade gifts too.
Great, did you get the children involved? There are toys and decorations they can make. Thank you so much for reading the post
