Sustainable Joy: How to Celebrate Christmas with Impact

19. November 2025|In News

The scent of freshly baked cookies fills the air, fairy lights enchant living rooms, and “Last Christmas” is number one on the charts. The most wonderful time of the year is here – full of little rituals, cozy evenings, and anticipation. But Christmas is also traditionally a time for reflection, gratitude, and giving. Many people are asking themselves during these weeks how they can make a positive impact beyond their immediate surroundings. So why not combine festive joy with sustainable engagement and make a contribution that lasts far beyond the holidays?

We would like to take this opportunity to show how sustainable practices during the Christmas season can have a lasting effect. We have compiled various ways for you to do something good with Fairventures this Christmas. Here are a few suggestions on how you can celebrate the holidays not only peacefully, but also with impact:

Fairventures x Kipepeo Bundles - One Gift, Double the Impact

If you’re looking for a meaningful and sustainable gift, you’ve come to the right place:

Together with Kipepeo Clothing, we’re bringing you exclusive Christmas bundles. The collaboration between Fairventures Worldwide and Kipepeo Clothing combines creativity, fairness, and climate protection. Kipepeo has been working with schools in East Africa for many years: children draw motifs from their everyday lives, which are then printed on fair trade T-shirts.

You can choose between four different bundles, which, depending on the size, include fine tea from Kazi Yetu, high-quality T-shirts from Kipepeo, or both. Each bundle also includes a tree donation with a certificate, which goes directly to Fairventures’ reforestation activities.

This creates a gift that brings joy twice over: here under the Christmas tree and in our partner countries where new trees are growing. The bundles are a symbol of conscious consumption and sustainable impact.

Fairventures at the Punschwald - Drink mulled wine, do good - Drinks For Good! 

Who says you can’t make a difference while drinking mulled wine? This year, Fairventures will have its own stand at the Punschwald for four days. Amidst fairy lights, festive music, and the scent of cinnamon, we’ll be serving not only classic mulled wine but also delicious special drinks that will sweeten your evening and make a difference at the same time:

A portion of the proceeds goes directly to our activities, contributing to reforestation in the tropics and securing sustainable livelihoods for smallholder farmers. So, a cozy evening with family and friends becomes an evening with a purpose.

So come along, warm your hands on a mug, and join us in raising a glass to the small-scale farmers in the tropics. 

The Punschwald am Feuersee (Glutenbergstraße 30, 70176 Stuttgart) is located in Stuttgart-West. From the station Feuersee, simply walk along Feuerseeplatz towards Gutenbergstraße and you will reach the Punschwald with its beautiful Christmas atmosphere.

You can find us on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28, as well as on December 11 and 12, starting at 5:30 p.m. right at the entrance. We look forward to seeing you!

FairForest – A Glimpse of Rainforest for your Home

Together with the PuzzleKolletiv, Fairventures Worldwide is releasing a very special puzzle: With each piece, you’ll get closer to a vibrant picture of the tropics which was illustrated by Sarah Matuszewski. Additionally, you contribute to sustainable reforestation. 

Buying the puzzle not only supports reforestation, but also helps smallholder farmers build sustainable sources of income.

The puzzle will be available for pre-order from the end of November – making it the perfect gift idea for anyone who enjoys putting pieces together and wants to do something good at the same time.

Green christmas with a tree donation - individual solutions for companies are possible, contact us directly! 

In addition to our thoughtfully curated bundles, we also offer the option of creating and gifting personalized certificates for tree plantings. These can be easily personalized via our website – a special present with lasting value.

For companies, we can design customized packages or certificates upon request, perfectly aligned with your CSR goals or corporate philosophy. Whether as a thank you to your team, a sustainable gesture for your customers, or as part of a larger environmental initiative – our bundles and tree donations are versatile and leave a positive impact that extends far beyond the holidays.

Merry Christmas

Christmas is a time when even small gestures can make a difference – be it a thoughtfully chosen gift, a shared toast at the Christmas market, or a donation that helps a new tree grow.

With this in mind, we wish you a wonderful, reflective, and impactful Christmas season – full of warmth, gratitude, and the satisfaction of making a difference together!
