With Mother's Day coming up, this is your chance to shower Mom (or the mother figure in your life) with extra love. Perhaps you have a tradition of making her breakfast in bed and giving her a sweet gift you made from scratch. You'd like to keep those traditions going strong no matter what, and Airbnb's online experiences for Mother's Day are here to make that happen.

Your family may experiencing a unique Mother's Day this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you're long-distance from your mom, or even if you live together, a virtual experience can be a great way for you two to feel connected. While you're staying at home, these online Airbnb experiences will give you a chance to make some great memories, and the farthest you'll have to travel for any of them is to your kitchen.
