Everyone loves the holiday szn, you know, unless you’re the Grinch before the infamous “heart expanding” scene. And it’s probably agreed upon that winter is even better with a special someone to get cozy with. It can be tough to get creative with dates during the frigid weather, but that’s where I come in: Here are six activities and dates you can do with your boo during the cold but cuddly winters.
Â
- Ice Skating
-
Go to your local ice rink and skate like lovers in an Olympic ice routine. If neither of you know how to skate, this might be more of a challenge. But, if one of you does, teaching the other can be fun and a great bonding experience. Plus, falling down together will create a bunch of funny stories (those bruises are worth it IMO).
- Blanket Fort and Movie Night
-
We are taking it back to our childhood blanket fort days because who decided that we have to stop when we grow up? Grab a bunch of blankets and get building! In the spirit of the holiday season, I recommend some classic holiday movies. But, with the release of Disney+, I’d binge watch a show or a Disney movie with my S.O. Good thing they make holiday Disney movies because you can get the best of both worlds!
- Gameday and Snacks
-
No, not watching sports, unless that’s something you both would enjoy, of course. I’m talking Monopoly, Uno, Battleship and Connect Four — to name a few. If you want to make it a little more exciting: make it a group date! Make this a double or even triple date with some other couples or even just a friend group. Buy or make a boatload of snacks and crank out that Cards Against Humanity. Play in teams, — may the best couple win!
- Baking Date
-
You can go for your classic cookies and brownies or get ~creative~ for the season. Look up those fancy treat tutorials you find on the explore page of your Instagram and get baking! Not only is this a good time, but maybe you can turn this into a game-day too and have your baked goods as your snacks.
- See a light show
-
Get your cute couple holiday Instagram post by looking up some local spots where you can watch fun light shows — holiday themed, of course. With a mesmerizing light show, your S.O. won’t be the only stunner in sight.
- Do… nothing. Seriously.
-
I’m not even kidding. If you’re both within each other’s company but are too lazy to do anything, don’t. Grab a giant blanket, cuddle up and maybe nap? Yeah, napping is good.
