Dear Family Fun Seekers,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and this one comes with a chart-topping milestone: Kidsguide is officially 40!

To celebrate four decades of good times, we’ve made you a mixtape of holiday happenings! Keep an eye out for the gold stars sprinkled through these pages. That means you’ve found a certified Top 40 Holiday Hit: the standout events and experiences our team handpicked as this season’s greatest hits.

Thank you for tuning in the last forty years. From picking the perfect pumpkin, braving an ice rink for the first time, touching a shark at the aquarium, or marveling at a space shuttle, you’ve turned our favorite finds into family memories. And after forty years, our playlist is getting extensive!

So grab the kids, turn it up, and let’s give the next 40 years something to sing about.
