The 5 Cutest Winter Date Ideas
When it comes to planning a date in the winter, it can definitely be tricky due to the lack of all your favorite summer venues. But just because the warm sandy beaches, sweet ice-cream stands, and scenic picnic spots are buried in snow doesn’t mean you can’t find some romance in the cold. They call it cuffing season for a reason, am I right? Embrace the frosty months, and take your bae on a date that will make them fall in love with winter.
Ice-Skating
Grab some hot chocolate and head out to a local pond or rink for some romantic and silly fun. It’s the perfect holiday activity, you will feel like you’re in a Christmas movie. Even if you aren’t the best skater, you and your date can get a good chuckle in from watching each other slip and slide across the ice.
Fireplace, S’mores and Wine Night
If you don’t want to give the outdoors activities a try, which I completely understand it’s miserably cold some days, then try a cozy night in. Set up some blankets and pillows by the fireplace, and a plate of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. Pour a glass of wine for you and your boo and get to know each other. It’s so simple yet you can make the night very romantic with a little dimming of the lights and letting the fireplace glow up the room.
Bowling and a Movie
There’s nothing wrong with bringing it back to the basics, and doing a traditional date night. Bowling is fun with the right person, and there are bowling alley’s with good food and music to dance to. Have fun and goof off with each other, before settling down for popcorn and a movie. It’s a great way to end the night, cuddling with your date, and watching whatever movie you’ve been waiting for to come out.
Cozy Cabin Getaway
Rent a cabin for the weekend! Maybe if you’re lucky enough you already have on or a close friend who’s kind enough to let you use it. This is perfect for having a comfy place to do a little bit of everything. You can cook a meal together, have netflix marathons, go snowshoeing or skiing, maybe even a snowball fight outside. No matter what you end up doing, it will feel like a special and romantic vacation for the two of you. Just picture the two of you cozied up on the couch with hot cocoa, watching the snow fall outside. It can be a weekend you’ll never forget.
Cookie and Gingerbread House Making
Sugary sweets and lots of frosting sounds pretty amazing to me. You can win each other over with your awesome decorating and baking skills, or if you aren’t the best in the kitchen start decorating each other with the flour and frosting and find each other’s silly sides! Don’t be afraid to goof around and sing and dance along to some Christmas music while your goodies bake.
