A Festive Family Adventure Begins

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise fun and bonding for the whole family. So, when I heard about the Holly Jolly Hunt in Virginia Beach, I knew it was something we had to try. The idea of a holiday-themed scavenger hunt sounded like the perfect way to kick off the festive season with my husband and two kids.

We arrived in Virginia Beach on a crisp December morning, the air filled with the scent of the ocean and the promise of holiday cheer. The kids were buzzing with excitement, and I could feel the festive spirit in the air. Armed with our smartphones, we downloaded the app and set off on our merry adventure. The app was user-friendly, and the kids quickly got the hang of it, eager to start the hunt.

The Hunt is On!

The scavenger hunt took us through the heart of Virginia Beach, where we were tasked with finding both traditional and quirky holiday items. From giant candy canes to inflatable snowmen, each discovery was met with squeals of delight from the kids. The app encouraged us to take photos of our finds, adding a fun, competitive edge to the experience.

One of the highlights was a challenge to perform a silly holiday dance in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. My husband, ever the good sport, led the charge, and soon we were all laughing and dancing, much to the amusement of passersby. It was moments like these that made the hunt truly special, creating memories that we would cherish long after the holiday season.

A Holly Jolly Success

As we made our way through the scavenger hunt, I couldn’t help but notice how the activity brought us closer together. The kids were working as a team, strategizing on the best routes to take and cheering each other on with every find. It was a wonderful reminder of the joy of family bonding, something I always strive to highlight in my travel itineraries.

By the end of the hunt, we had scored enough points to place us on the leaderboard, a proud moment for the whole family. But more than the points, it was the shared laughter and joy that made the Holly Jolly Hunt a resounding success. If you’re looking for a festive, family-friendly activity that promises fun and laughter, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s a delightful way to celebrate the holiday season and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
