If you are looking for kids activities in Columbia, TN or family events around Maury County, this weekly guide covers everything happening for families from December 1 through December 7, 2025. Each week, I share an easy to scan list of local events for babies, toddlers, and young kids, along with holiday activities, free events, and simple things to do with your family around Columbia and Spring Hill. This week brings a mix of indoor play, community events, and seasonal outings to help you plan ahead.
Now that December is here, the calendar is packed from beginning to end. With so many Christmas events happening this month, I decided to keep Christmas specific activities primarily in two places: the Christmas Guide and the monthly calendar. This keeps everything organized and makes it easier to update if details change. If you are looking for anything from cookie decorating to places to get Santa pictures, the Christmas Guide is your one stop resource. I will continue sharing calendar screenshots in Facebook and Instagram stories, and those will include only Columbia and Spring Hill Christmas events.
A couple notes for this week:
aMuse’um is closed on Monday and will close at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for deep cleaning and painting.
The Frosty Reads December Reading Challenge also kicks off this week. You can log your reading all month long to earn digital badges and discover new books as the year wraps up.
There are also a few ongoing holiday activities to keep in mind, including Blue Gene Bookshop’s holiday book bundles through December 10, Santa’s Mailbox at Love Rae Grace Boutique in Spring Hill through December 14, and Serenity the Elf’s Christmas Scavenger Hunt with Elia Day Spa through December 13.
