You could watch Christmas movies.
Better yet, do crafts with them. Create some Christmas ornaments or make a snowman using cottonballs glued to a piece of paper. Build a gingerbread house.

You could always make some small christmas decorations to hang on the tree, or table decorations (name plates) for the christmas lunch!
Get the paint and glue and glitter out and be careful with the young ones of course, put christmas music on and hey presto! That should keep em occupied for at least 5 minutes lol.

My kids and I always did crafts. We often made simple ornaments they could make a lot of and give them to their Grandparents and Aunts&Uncles. If you serch online for Simple Christmas crafts there are many inexpensive ones.
My kids liked stringing cranberries and popcorn to make garlands for the tree, for example.
One year their Grandmother bought inexpensive little one foot tall trees so they could have their own tree
in their rooms. They made decorations of paper for them.
Maybe you could take them sledding depending on where you live. If you get lucky with the right snowfall you could make snowmen.
Usually a good kids Xmas movies come out at theaters at this time.
You could learn Christmas songs so they can sing them for their parents when they pick them up.
Have fun.

You could buy those foam balls, and decorate them. We did it when i was younger, we used Glitter, markers, stickers, or you can use that foil looking paper and cover them, to make Christmas ornaments. You could buy some sugar cookie dough, and get some cute Christmas cookie cutter shapes and then have someone bake them for you and decorate them with icing and sprinkles, (all of that is available at places like Kmart).

Make Christmas decorations. This was a big favorite of my kids.
Pre-cut red and green paper strips and make paper garland. Make paper snowflakes for the tree. Make Christmas cards and help them mail them.

When my daughters were little we used to have them make our Christmas tags, the ones that go on the presents. Ask your Mom to take you to a hobby store and buy Christmas shaped cut outs (trees, santas, etc). Then, have them color and decorate them... leaving space for the From and To information.
People loved them when we did it.

A Mad-libs version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"
I've done this before, and it's lots of fun.
Although it can be difficult to recite when Santa has "pi" reindeer and looks like a "garbageman" opening his sack!

my kids love to make gingerbread houses, you can buy the kits at Target $10.00. You can buy plain colored ornaments , make a design with craft glue and sprinkle glitter all over, they sell these at the dollar store. If you have snow in your area sledding or make a snowman.
