The upcoming Christmas vacation may be the best time to take part in New Jersey's family-friendly, must-do holiday activities—especially if your kids have already moved on from their presents. From spectacular light displays to cold-weather fun, there's plenty to do during days off from school.

Most New Jersey schools are closed from Monday, December 25, 2023, through Monday, January 1, 2024, allowing plenty of time to experience the holiday highlights you may have missed in the hectic run-up to Christmas. It's also the perfect time to plan a winter day trip, visit an enchanting Christmas town, or bundle up for a visit to a theme park.
