Happy January 2023! The whole year stretches ahead of us, with so much possibility! Have you made resolutions this year? We want to celebrate more silly with our kids... so on that note, here are five not-so-serious "holidays" happening this month that you can celebrate in the Seacoast with your kids.
1. Howl at the full moon
Jan. 6
January's full moon is called the Wolf Moon. The full moon will reach peak illumination at 6:09 P.M. EST on Jan. 6. Get the kids outside and HOWL! Want to know more about the stars we can see in our night sky in the Seacoast? Pay a visit to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center to really engage your kids' interest in space!
2. Dress Up Your Pet Day
Jan. 14
Dress up your dog, goat, guinea pig, or cat. Pets aren't cooperative? Paint your kids' faces as their favorite animals. We want to see! Tag Macaroni KID Seacoast on Instagram or Facebook if you post a picture for Dress Up Your Pet Day!
3. Popcorn Day
Jan. 19
We're popping with excitement for Popcorn Day! It's a great excuse to stop by Popzup in Dover for some yummy treats! With flavors like Maple Cinnamon Toast and Cheddar Head, there's something for everyone.
4. National Puzzle Day
Jan. 29
Get your family a brand new puzzle from Diversions Puzzles and Games, with locations in Portsmouth and Somersworth, and spend the evening putting together a puzzle TOGETHER! It's about so much more than a puzzle though: We find putting together puzzles with our kids is a wonderful way to work cooperatively, problem-solve as a family, and enjoy great conversations with our kids that naturally flow as time passes.
5. National Hot Chocolate Day
Jan. 31
If your kids are like ours, hot chocolate is the ultimate treat. Take them to Enna Chocolate in Exeter to indulge in some hot chocolate we have found on the Seacoast!
