The last few years, I’ve put together a Holiday Date Night Countdown list that you could download for free, along with a cute, printable advent calendar to put all of your date night plans into. This year, things are so chaotic with plans changing constantly. Events are being postponed and cancelled, new events are popping up last minute when they know it’s safe. It’s hard to stay on top of everything there is going on to participate in.

So I decided to create this post of fun holiday activities happening in Davis County, for you to bookmark and refer back to often! I will be updating it as we hear about events, or as others are brought to life to spread cheer this season.
