The challenges of 2020 have made us miss our friends and family even more. But with the safety concerns brought by the existing coronavirus pandemic, many are holding off plans to book flights or go on long-haul drives to spend Christmas with their loved ones this year.
Luckily, there are still simple but heartwarming ways that you can do to send hugs and spread holiday cheers to loved ones who are living far away or who you simply can’t physically be with for their own safety. For instance, senior citizens, pregnant women, or those who are immunocompromised. Check out these ideas from our list!

If you’re planning to turn it into a profitable little business, it’s a smart way to do a taste test and to check the waters if you have a willing target market, too.
