When family celebration traditions outgrow some family members

My family has been doing the same Easter egg hunt for my kids for five years but my teenagers are clearly over it and my little one still loves it, and my partner and I can't figure out how to evolve this tradition without disappointing someone. We're all pretending it's still magical but half the family is just humoring the other half.
