Best Apps for Celebrating Christmas during COVID-19
Scared of covid-19 ruining your celebration? We'll show you how to take care of Christmas recipes, cards, and presents - without putting your health at risk.
Christmas Eve is a special time of year when everyone even remotely interested in celebrating it gathers with their friends and family to spend some quality time together, catch up, and have fun. In 2020, this will turn into a bit of a challenge. The global pandemic has fundamentally changed the way in which we approach the holidays. Your Christmas dinner, for example, may gather a much smaller crowd than usual. Still, you should definitely seize the opportunity to enjoy this precious time with those closest to you. Finding some amazing recipes that will impress your family and doing all the grocery shopping online, perhaps through Shipt, will keep you safe, and your loved ones happy.
Since covid-19 is keeping us at a (social) distance, some people are bound to feel lonely. We can't do much about it yet but what we can do is help those we know feel a little bit less isolated. Sometimes, sending so much as a digital Christmas card can make a difference and show someone they are loved and appreciated. It's the little things that matter. Sending cards is, after all, one of the universal traditions maintained around the world. It's a great way to spice up any long-distance celebration, regardless of whether you or any of your friends are practicing Christians or not.
Of course, for those extra special to you, gifts are in order. Instead of visiting shops in person, in the time of covid-19, it is best to purchase online. You should be able to find some pretty amazing presents for children and adults alike - from fun toys to luxury items. Instead of personally putting them under the Christmas tree, they will be delivered to their door - achieving great results in complying with current government guidelines. That way, everyone will get something nice - and stay healthy.

During this global pandemic, even friends and family members who are 20 miles away can become distant. Since you may not have a chance to visit everyone you want due to social distancing, you can at least send them a nice gift and show that you care.

I am one of those people who can't get enough of the Food Network channel. Chopped, all of the wars shows, I must have at least 5 shows on there I watch on a regular basis. That's why I love this app.

A shared photo album can be a great alternative to video calls. That way, there's no need to coordinate schedules and you can upload photos/videos from the day at a time that's most convenient for you. Plus, you might even capture little moments loved ones might not otherwise see! The FamilyAlbum app makes it super easy to set up a shared album, and even family members who are less technologically-inclined will have no trouble accessing your album. Unlimited storage, no ads, and it's free!
