December 13 should absolutely be a national holiday, because it’s our queen Taylor Swift’s 36th birthday. We’re celebrating (and making the most of Swiftie szn) with these holiday-inspired to-do’s. You coming to our Swiftmas party?
Bake a sweet treat.
What’ll it be—chai sugar cookies or cinnamon swirl sourdough?
Make holiday-themed friendship bracelets.
No cuter gift for your besties than their names spelled out in snowflake beads.
Visit a Christmas tree farm.
Mittens, coat, cider, check. All that’s left to do is dance under sparkling lights.
Host a Swiftmas sleepover.
The best soirées involve your squad and The Life of a Showgirl.
Bust out the karaoke tracks.
You can’t help but belt “Santa Baby” in a Southern twang.

O Swiftmas tree, O Swiftmas tree, how lovely are your b̶r̶a̶n̶c̶h̶e̶s̶ Reputation snakes.
Wear a cozy cardigan.
We fiercely salute if you were able to get your hands on the OG merch.
Journal by the fire.
With a grande caramel nonfat latte (Taylor’s go-to Starbucks order) in hand, you’re basically set to pen the next chart-topping heartbreak anthem.
Watch a nostalgic holiday movie.
Psst: Love Actually is Tay’s personal favorite.
Ask your crush on a Swiftie-inspired date.
If hanging with Kane Brown & co. at 1587 Prime isn’t an option, splitting Raising Cane’s fingers and fries with boo is a close second.
