Miffy Fun Activities

Miffy can hardly contain her excitement – two of the best holidays of the year, Christmas and New Year’s, are within a week of each other!

Miffy is anxiously awaiting Santa’s arrival to see if he brought her everything on her wish list – she can barely sleep! Luckily, Father and Mother Bunny always tell her a special bedtime story on Christmas Eve night to help her get to sleep. You can watch Dick Bruna’s Christmas Story too, just like Miffy!

Only a week after Christmas comes New Year’s – Miffy can hardly believe that 2020 is almost over! She is hard at work thinking of meaningful New Year’s resolutions. You can see how Miffy celebrates the new year in the episode, Miffy’s Happy New Year.

Miffy loves to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with a couple festive games, and you can too with the directions below. Miffy wishes you and all your loved ones a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years. She can’t wait to see you again in 2021!
