SCHEDULE A COUPLE’S SPA OUTING
Say it with me….*breathes deep*…saunas. Relish the chance to spend some relaxing quality time together with a couple’s massage followed by some steamy sauna time. Nothing will feel better in the dead of winter.
TAKE A SLEIGH RIDE
A truly picturesque date night scene that’ll remind you of the Christmas song “Sleigh Ride” (clip-clops and all), when you’re both bundled up and explored the city in a horse-drawn carriage.
SEE A BALLET
Winter is peak ballet season so it’s the best time to nab yourselves tickets to The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. It’s a perfect excuse to get out and dress up, and the people-watching opportunities will make for unusual conversation fodder. If your date’s not so into tutus and tights, look into theater or opera dates.
GO ICE SKATING
Ice skating and hot cocoa practically scream *winter date.* Plus, we can’t wait to plan a super cute outfit around skates.
ICE SCULPTURE SHOWS
Guys, ice sculpture shows are totally a thing. Go to one. Don’t ask questions—you’ll be seriously amazed by the creations and can maybe convince someone to carve you into a bust. Christmas party decorations, anyone?
GO SLEDDING
Grab a sled from your garage head to a snowy hill, and prepare for an adorable day date. P.S. This idea is great for group dates. P.P.S. If you actually live by a snow resort, forget this idea and grab some skis.
MAKE SOME FIREPLACE S’MORES
It may feel a little junior, but who can resist the temptation of half-scorched marshmallows? Take advantage of the cooler weather and get the fireplace (or outdoor grill) going, rip open a bag of marshmallows, and pair your fresh s’mores with some Irish coffee (mmmm).
NETFLIX AND STAY WARM
You can each pick one of your more favorite television shows or scary movies, snuggle up under a blanket, and chill on your own terms.
CHUCK SOME SNOWBALLS
If you two are a couple with some issues to sort out, this could be quite therapeutic. If you’re trying to leave your anger issues out of it, make this “fight” a cute turf war.
