With the Christmas season approaching, or it may already be here, depending on who you are. These activities are great for friends and significant others to do this holiday season. Make sure to take pictures and capture these moments.

Not everything has to be expensive. Putting in a movie, popping some popcorn and curling up on the couch together is an intimate and fun way to get into the holiday spirit.

Whether you are decorating a gingerbread house or making a batch of Christmas cookies, even if you mess up it’s fun. Make sure to have your Christmas playlist pre-selected for the best experience and for those who like a competition, see who can bake or decorate the best.
3. Look at Lights
Christmas lights create an environment of magic and beauty every year. If you want to be emersed with Christmas, you can head to Magic of Lights in Wesley Clover Parks. This is the ultimate holiday experience, in which lights are used to portray an art form. In order to enter, a general admission ticket, which includes a small vehicle, is $20.

“Do you want to build a snowman”, well as long as there is enough snow on the ground why not? This snowman building can turn into a snowball fight very quickly so make sure to be prepared

Since the snow is out there, you might as well use it! It’s always fun to figure out who can go down the hill the fastest.

12. Friends-mas
Throw a little party and have a potluck. This is a great excuse to have a party and see the friends that you may have not seen in a while because of school. Make sure to eat a lot! (If you plan a secret Santa, this is the perfect time to exchange gifts)
