During the winter months, the days are shorter and there are a lot of days that couples do the same things. Here are nine new ideas for couples to try this winter.
Cooking Classes
Everyone should learn to cook and it’s a fun thing for couples to do on a cold winter night. Once you learn how to make a couple of dishes, couples can have a nice cooking night and make dishes for each other.
Pretend to be tourists in a big city
Chicago is beautiful to walk around during the winter months. There are a lot of things to do during that not many people know about. Pretend to be a tourist and visit a museum, take a bus tour, or spend the afternoon snapping pictures of Chicago’s most famous landmarks.
Movie Marathon Night
Movies are one of the best things do on a cold winter night. It’s a great way to cuddle up to that someone special and just have a nice warm night in. It doesn’t cost any money and can be just a special night for each person.
Winter Hike
For couples who are active together, they can go on a winter hike through the woods. Find some well-worn path and bundle up to have some fun in the snow. While walking through the snow path, you two can take in the winter landscape and take in the romantic surroundings.
Spa Date Night
Create a soothing atmosphere for you and your partner to enjoy some alone time. Get some matching robes and slippers, get some massage oil, and take time to relax and get comfortable with each other.
Ice Skating
Making a lasting memory by taking your partner out ice skating. Hold hands with the one you love while trying not to fall on your butts. Try daring each other to try classic ice-skating moves and once you two are icicles, go warm up with a nice cup of hot cocoa.
Building a Fort
Who remembers building forts and just having the best day in them? Relieve some of that nostalgia and build a fort with the one you love. Gather every blanket, pillow, sleeping bag, and other things to use as structure and create your own indoor camp site. If you want to add some romance into this, grab a couple white lights to bring inside your fort. Once the fort is done, snuggle up and catch up on those cheesy holiday movies that makes everything better.
Make Gingerbread Houses Together
Making a gingerbread house is one of the best things to do during the winter months, so why not do it with the one you are crazy for. Make things interesting and make it a contest. Who can build the biggest house or who can design the most creative house? Once you two are done building the houses, you have a nice little snack you can eat while watching all of the holiday movies.
Carriage Rides
Who doesn’t like horse-drawn carriage rides? No one, that’s who. These are one of the most romantic modes of travel and it is something that is inexpensive, but will create a lasting memory.
