Easter is a time for bonding with family and kids, enjoying the great outdoors, and being creative with fun activities. However, too many people get stuck on what to do over the Easter weekend. Some spend it at church, others have a boring hangover while others simply do nothing at all.

But why make such an exciting holiday so boring? With the right mindset and proper planning, you can make the Easter of 2023 a time to remember.

Let’s explore the “traditional” and more fun activities to do that will make this occasion an unforgettable experience.

1. Host an Easter Brunch
In case you missed it, Easter brunch is kind of a big deal…such a big deal, in fact, that there’s a good chance every table at your favorite local restaurant will be filled. Skip the crowds and spring for an at-home brunch instead. Mix up some cocktails, prepare a menu of crowd-pleasing dishes and invite a few good friends over to enjoy the feast in a setting that’s decidedly more comfortable than a chaotic eatery.

2. Decorate Easter Eggs
Whether you keep things simple with a store-bought dye kit or have a more ambitious plan to achieve a Pinterest-worthy finished product, decorating Easter eggs is just plain fun for the whole fam. Gather your materials, dial up the creativity and get started—just remember to save a few eggs for that Easter brunch you’ll be making later.

3. Watch an Easter Movie
When the sugar rush wears off, it’s time for a low-key activity—like cozying up on the couch to watch a holiday-themed movie, for example.  

4. Try Your Luck at Baking
Easter has always been synonymous with baking. Whether it’s freshly baked bread or Easter cakes, there is a range of Easter recipes you can try to stay busy this Easter Weekend. If you’re an experienced baker, Easter is the perfect time to put your skills to the test. And if you have zero experience with baking, there’s no better time to start.

You don’t have to try baking fancy Easter cakes if you’re just getting started. Try baking your first loaf of bread or try beginner-friendly cookies. There’s an endless list of things to bake on Easter!

Here are a few things to try baking on Easter if you don’t have much experience:

- Simple bread

- Easter-themed simple pastry

- Chocolate-coated donuts

5. Have a Picnic
The greenery is making its yearly reappearance and the recently thawed ground is finally an inviting place to sit again. Celebrate the season of rebirth with an outdoor picnic—a fine alternative to both a restaurant and at-home brunch party. Of course, this idea only works if April showers don’t rain on your parade, but if the sun is shining, all you need to do is head to a nice, scenic spot with a blanket and a sumptuous picnic spread in tow. Bottom line: Good food, plus a tranquil, natural setting spells Easter Day success.

6. Go to Church
If you’re a religious person, Easter is the best time to go to church. But even if you’re not too religious you can still visit the church during Easter 2023, even if it’s just for a few hours on Easter Sunday.

Most people will go to church to connect with their communities and friends. You may even make new friends and connect with like-minded people at church.
