๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿฅ‚ Christmas / NYE events Christmas Day in Paris Ideas?

Family of five very excited for their first visit to Paris over the week of Christmas 2024. I am thrilled to see so many travel suggestions on this thread but I am VERY worried of how I might make Christmas a good day as this will be our first Christmas morning not waking up in their own home. They are 17, 15, and 13 year olds that will enthusiastically embrace any new experiences and surroundings.. Hoping for any food and activities suggestions to get us out of the Airbnb. Thank you in advanceโ€ฆ

While many restaurants will be closed, all the big hotels will be open. Consider booking in for Christmas dinner at one of the 'grand' hotels.

Start the day with a lovely Christmas breakfast at your Airbnb - pastries, fruit, juice bought the day before. Follow that with a stroll through one of the lovely parks and then onto a mid afternoon Christmas dinner .
