5 Family-Bonding New Year’s Resolutions for a Memorable 2025

It’s almost that time of year again. Time to sit down with a pen and paper in hand (or your laptop) and think about what you want to accomplish in the new year.


For many, the new year brings a fresh start for you and your family.


But, if your days have been feeling very rushed and jam-packed lately with work responsibilities, extracurricular activities or non-stop weekend plans, it’s time to slow down and reconnect with the ones you love.


Make family-bonding time a priority and create more memories this upcoming year with these 5 New Year’s resolution ideas:

1. Stay Active Together


Staying active benefits your health and gives you endorphins, which are known as the “happy hormones” in your brain. And, since endorphins make you happy, and happiness is contagious, staying active with your family benefits everyone!


Plan for warmer weather when you can stay active by enjoying a low-impact activity with your family – like swimming – without having to leave the comfort of your own backyard.


Play games like Red Light, Green Light, Noodle Jousting or Underwater Treasure Hunt to create interactive family play time together. Or swim around the pool (if you have a round pool) or swim laps (if you have a rectangle pool) to see who’s the fastest swimmer. You’ll be having a splashin’ good time making memories with your family that you’ll forget you’re also getting a workout in!


So, throw on those swimsuits, put on some sunscreen and get ready for family pool days in an easy-to-set-up above ground pool

2. Plan More Outdoor Adventures


If you want to add more family outdoor adventures to your New Year’s resolutions, there are many ways you can get outside to enjoy the great outdoors.


Immersing yourself in nature and spending time with your loved ones are both beneficial to your mental health. Why not combine the two for a relaxing day of family fun out on the water?


Get out those boats and head down to the river or the lake! Our comfortable and convenient Hydro Force® inflatable kayaks and rafts make it simple for you to get out on the water for a day of adventure with your family thanks to their portability and durability – that’s just as good as a hard-sided boat.

3. Create a Relaxation Routine


Those busy schedules and long, exhausting to-do lists can wait! Carve out some time during your week – every week – for an hour or two of relaxation with your family.


After a long, stressful day, there’s nothing more relaxing than unwinding in a warm, soothing hot tub in the comfort of your own backyard.


Inflatable hot tubs help you rest and recharge while you and your family catch up on what’s new in everyone’s lives.


Plus, enjoying an affordable, luxurious hot tub experience without having to leave home means you get to spend more time making memories – less time commuting to a spa or the community pool.

4. Host More Family Gatherings


Making time for family doesn’t just mean your immediate family. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to host more family gatherings for your extended family, make sure you’re prepared for those potential overnight stays.


After the delicious food is eaten and put away, make your family feel right at home with a comfortable and supportive air mattress.


With a wide selection of bed sizes, heights and features to choose from, finding the perfect airbed for your family is easy. Plus, once your guests leave, air mattresses quickly deflate for compact storage, so you can easily tuck them away until their next visit!

5. Embrace the Winter Chill


Even though January and February are usually the coldest months of the year, that doesn’t mean you and your family have to stay indoors!


Venture outside when it’s chilly and enjoy those snowy days together as a family. Bundle up in your winter jackets, mittens, stocking hats, snow pants and boots and grab a few snow tubes for a family fun day of sledding.


H2OGO!® snow tubes keep your family entertained during the cold winter months and feature weather-resistant Polar-Shield™ material to keep the tube from cracking or freezing in cold temperatures, so you can feel confident when your loved ones are going down the slopes!
