As it begins to get nippy outside, cozying up inside seems like the only option. While cuddling in front of the fireplace with some hot chocolate and marshmallows can make a perfect date, there are other great dates for the winter time!

Bake some goods
However, if you aren’t willing to venture out into the cold, baking cookies together can be a perfect winter date. You two will have fun together in the kitchen making a batch of yummy cookies and then once they’re done you can cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie while savoring the taste of your hot sweet treats.

Head to the mall
While you can go to the mall any time of the year, it’s not the same as it is at Christmas time; there’s all the hustle-and-bustle and festive decoration. Strolling around the mall, people watching, and Christmas shopping is a wonderful way to spend time together as a couple as you can chat the entire time! You can even help each other out with buying family Christmas presents and slip in some hints as to what you want as your present.

Enjoy the snow
If you’re lucky enough to have some snow, why not make a date out of it? Bundle up and go sledding or have a snowball fight. These fun outdoor dates will get you your daily dose of fresh air while being tons of fun! The thrill of flying down a snowy hill together can’t be beat, and best of all—you have your man there to carry the sled back up!

Go ice skating 
Even though this date is typical, it doesn’t go out of style. There is just something about lacing up those skates and slip-sliding over the ice with that special someone that never gets old. Skating around holding hands or even holding each other up followed by a nice warm cup of hot chocolate is a wonderful romantic winter date.

 So just because it’s winter, it doesn’t mean you can’t have wonderful fun romantic dates. Bundle up and adventure outside together, or cuddle up and stay by the fireplace. Either way I’m sure you will enjoy this winter season.
