It’s no secret; winter birthdays are difficult to celebrate. Trekking through freezing temperatures, snow, and ice to go party can be a mood ruiner. As someone with a winter birthday, I have tried several different ways to celebrate a birthday in the winter. Here are some of my favorites!
Movie Nights
Movie nights are a super fun way to stay warm while spending time with friends and family on your birthday. Whether it’s staying at home or going out to a movie theater, a movie night can be entertaining for everyone. Going out to see a movie at a theater provides the experience of going out, but with the comfort of warmth, great food, drinks, and entertainment. Some theatres will let you make reservations for a whole party, adding to the fun aspect of the experience!
Bowling
Bowling is another great indoor activity to go do on a winter birthday. You can easily make a reservation for a group of friends and family much like a movie theater, where entertainment, food, and shelter from the winter weather is all provided. Bowling can be as competitive or as laid back as you want, allowing you to set the mood for your special day.
Ice Skating
Spending time inside is a fun way to celebrate a winter birthday, but going outside of a beautiful winter night can be just as fun! Lots of places will have outdoor rinks for people to skate on during the winter. Ice rinks are a great place to have some fun, get some cute pictures, and create some fun memories on your birthday. Just be sure to bundle up when spending time outside!
Dinner
Dinner may seem like a boring activity to do on your birthday, but it can be really fun! Gather a group of friends or family and make a reservation at your favorite place. You can make the dinner more fun by having everyone dress up, dress down, or establish some other entertaining dress code. You can go for dessert after, or move the dinner celebration into another activity, such as a movie night or ice skating. Dinner is a great way to spend your birthday, and it can even act as a pregame for other activities!
Trampoline Park
If you really want to increase the energy level and excitement, you can take your family and friends to a trampoline park! This may seem childish, but it’s an amazing way to get good energy going and have a blast on your birthday. Some trampoline parks have other events, like arcades, food, or laser tag. Speaking from experience, it is common for adults to participate in these activities, so there’s no embarrassment. Trampoline parks are a great way to stay warm in the winter and have a lot of fun!
These are a variety of different activities that you can do to celebrate your winter birthday. From a relaxing movie night to an exhilarating trampoline park experience, there are a multitude of ways to spend a winter birthday. These are just a couple ideas; there are so many more things you can do! Winter can be tough but there are always ways to make a winter birthday fun and entertaining!
