Practical ways to 'get through' the holidays?

So I'm sure I wont be alone when I say, Christmas can be a tough time for many of us.
Personally I have a full month to fill (university doesn't start back until the 18th of Jan) and I am still battling with my mental health struggles.
Hence I was hoping for some advice (which could also be helpful to others) on how to fill my time.
I felt this topic was appropriate, any practical ideas of things to do to stay busy would be much appreciated!!

Going for walks, I love Christmas time walks, it's so peaceful and quiet.
Volunteering, it's not to late to do some Christmas volunteering.
https://do-it.org/ << May have some Christmas volunteering opportunities.
Posting on the boards, starting some fun threads.
Random acts of kindness over Christmas time.
Would love to volunteer, but can't commit at the moment due to uni! Plus I'm a bit restricted as I broke my foot so don't want to overdo things.
I'd love to do something crafty or arty, but I just don't know what!
Definitely will pop in on the boards over Christmas and help if I can
If you're potentially interested in Knitting there is a website called ravelry.com with loads of patterns and forums on - plus youtube has great videos to help you learn! I find knitting to be helpful in keeping my hands busy and passing time when that's what I'm in need of!
