10 Winter Date Ideas That Will Make You Want To Get Out Of Bed
Dating in the winter is a very different experience, regardless of whether you’re still seeking for your cuffing season mate or have already established a long-term relationship. Though the weather is a little chillier and the sun sets before supper, winter is the ideal time to get close and personal with your significant other, and it’s the best time of year to do it.
Whether you like to remain home with your warm socks and alcoholic hot cocoa or you prefer to go outdoors in the freezing weather, there are a plethora of inexpensive and entertaining date ideas available.
For those who like being lazy and never leaving their warm, fluffy bed, here are 18 winter date ideas that may be just what you’re looking for to reconnect with your lover or meet a potential dating app match. Thank you very much!
1. Hang Christmas ornaments on the tree.
In other words, not only do you get to remain inside and wear your comfortable clothing, but you also get to decorate your apartment or location as a group. It might be as simple as hanging decorations on a tree or as complex as erecting that “what a great world” sign. Whatever it is, make your chores a date night with your significant other and you’ll be killing two birds with one stone.
2. Binge-watch your favorite Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate.
It’s the holidays, but is it truly the holidays if you aren’t watching Home Alone, The Grinch, or some other ridiculous rom-com on Lifetime? When you’ve told your buddies you’re “too tired to go out,” this date is a great option for Friday night. So get your warm blankets and soft socks, and prepare to Netflix and relax for the evening.
3. Prepare a hearty supper after taking a relaxing bath together.
The holidays are usually filled with cuteness and adorability, but they can also be a little crazy. While winding up work or getting ready to visit family, you and your spouse deserve to unwind by enjoying a warm bath or shower together, drinking champagne, and eating some banana bread, for example. I’m not the one who sets the rules.
4. When you’re stuck indoors due to bad weather, plan an inside picnic.
Rather of go outside in the cold, why you bring the outdoors inside with a cute picnic basket. Make a spot in your living room, spread down a blanket, and spend the remainder of the night eating from a charcuterie board, sipping on a specialty cocktail, and whipping up some of your favorite dessert recipes.
5. Create a gingerbread home with your friends.
Build a gingerbread home together to demonstrate your ability to work effectively with others. You won’t have to spend much money on this, and if it comes apart, you’ll be able to eat it at the conclusion of the process.
6. Inviting another couple to your home for an indoor double date is a great idea.
The holidays are a time to spend time with your loved ones, which of course includes your sister and her boyfriend as well as the rest of your family. Invite some pals over for a double date on a night when you are certain that you will not get snowed in. Make supper together and spend some quality time together playing games for some well-deserved downtime.
7. Have a s’mores party with your friends.
Though I understand that s’mores are often associated with the summer or autumn, I think having a fire pit in your backyard when it’s freezing outdoors sounds a lot nicer than having one when it’s over 100 degrees outside. In the event that you decide to go to all the work of building a fire pit, take advantage of the extra time and chance to cook a s’more at the same time.
8. Paint and drink at the same time
You must select activities that are either a) done at home in your PJs or b) done indoors in a warm environment if you want to be successful at dating in winter. As a result, if you want to try something new, consider signing up for a paint and drink session, where you may bring your own wine and work together to create your masterpiece.
9. Participate in any form of game as a group.
You know what I’m talking about: board games, video games, you name it. This is the definition of quality time, and it’s also free99 bonding.
10. Take a drive or stroll around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights.
The only thing you need to do is wrap up, get yourself a cup of alcoholic hot chocolate, and start walking around the neighborhood (or down Fifth Avenue if you live in New York City). Did we mention that this is a completely free activity?
11. Take a trip to the movies
When it comes to staying warm throughout the winter, I’m all for travelling to other buildings, so why not watch a freshly released movie while you’re doing it as well? You’ll be able to enjoy your partner’s companionship while indulging in movie goodies such as popcorn, chocolates, and slurpees, among other things.
12. Have a meal at your favorite restaurant.
Scheduling a date night during the week will allow you to escape the crush of people at your favorite restaurant on a weekend. Because the restaurant will be less crowded than on a Friday or Saturday night, not only will you have something exciting to look forward to after school or work, but you will also avoid touching elbows with other patrons.
13. Create a snowman out of snow.
Okay, so you don’t have to construct a snowman on the first day of snow, but you should do something fun as a family on that day. Make sure you take some warm gloves and waterproof boots in case you end up shoving each other into the show, having a snowball battle, or making a snowman together.
14. Take an ice skating lesson.
Take advantage of the holiday break to go ice skating. Make it even better by following it up with your favorite Starbucks seasonal beverage.
15. Go on a winter trek to get some exercise.
If you like to remain active rather than hibernate this season, take a stroll outdoors. After a night of snow showers, the landscape should be extremely stunning, and it’s always great when you’re able to get in a good exercise while also enjoying some fresh air.
16. Take a trip to the Christmas stores with your friends.
In most cities, there are a plethora of holiday stores to choose from. However, if you want to score a good bargain, create a plan with your friends on which shops to visit on Black Friday and wake up at 4 a.m. together.
17. Go on a winter village exploration.
During the Christmas season, many towns and cities have winter villages where people can shop for seasonal souvenirs, sample various delicacies, and spend a lot of quality time with one another. Instead of going to the same old bars after work, get together with friends and go to a festive winter event.
18. Get together with your family and take Christmas photographs.
Why not take advantage of the fact that the holidays are usually a romantic time by shooting some holiday photos together and making your friends envy of your relationship? Spend time together doing fun things like constructing a snowman or skating, or sitting in front of a massive Christmas tree. Take pictures for Instagram and turn it into a date.
Weekend Sex Horoscope
Examine your love life to see what surprises are in store for you this week.
Other than the Moon passing through diligent Virgo on Saturday and Sunday, there isn’t much going on this weekend, but on Sunday, there is a rare occurrence known as a cazimi Mercury. The exact same location in the sky where both Mercury and the Sun are at the exact same time is known as a conjunction, and it is the best day for commencing The Talk, firing your shot, or having any other significant conversations.
On Monday, the planets Mars and Neptune align, infusing a touch of passion into your love life and making life in the bedroom much more personal. When Mercury and the Sun join with Saturn on Tuesday, it creates another perfect day for making a move, particularly because Venus is harmonizing with the romantic planet Neptune at the same moment! Finally, on Wednesday, the Moon enters sultry, secretive Scorpio, where it will stay for the balance of the week.
What this signifies for you is that you are an ARIES.
You have a lot on your plate this weekend, Aries. The cazimi Mercury says that your next crush may be contacting you on Sunday, so keep an eye on your inbox. Monday is a fantastic day for a first date, but if you’re simply hooking up, you should proceed with caution. This week, there is a high likelihood of catching the flu, and it is more vital than ever to remember to stay careful and employ protective measures against it! On Wednesday, the Moon enters the sign of Scorpio, making life in the bedroom quite hot for the remainder of the week.
TAURUS
This weekend, there’s a lot of love in the air! Whether you’re searching for a first date, a sizzling hookup, or just a casual flirting, the astrological forecast is making you feel much more fortunate in love. You’ll have plenty of possibilities to meet your next crush this week, or maybe go DTR with your current main squeeze if you’re into that kind of thing. Neptune’s ethereal influence makes you more emotional, and you become much better at expressing (and receiving!) love towards people as a result of his influence. Have a great day with this fantastic astrological weather!
GEMINI
The beginning of this weekend is quite tranquil, but by Sunday, your love life has picked up the pace! The perfect day to ask your crush out, make him or her your S.O., or ask your S.O. to become your fiancé/e has arrived. However, when it comes to romance and becoming serious about your relationship, you truly couldn’t wish for better astrological conditions! This week will not be very beneficial to your sexual life.
CANCER
This weekend, Cancer, you’re finding it much easier to break out of your shell than you did last week. Because you’re feeling so good about yourself, putting yourself out there isn’t nearly as intimidating—which is perfect if you want to surprise your significant other and take charge in the bedroom! These positive sentiments will continue over throughout the week, and the stars indicate that there is plenty of possibilities for romance as well. Starting on Wednesday, the Scorpio Moon will shine brightly in your zodiac sign’s zone of romance, sex, and pleasure, so you’d best go out there and enjoy yourself! You’ll have a great time!
LEO
The stars are urging you to live it up and have a good time this weekend, Leo, and you should take advantage of the opportunity. Cast a broad net, make connections with new people, and allow yourself to be the center of attention for a while. Although none of these fresh faces is sure to be your ideal match, you never know when you could come across someone you’re really, really, really into. Taking your love life more seriously is much more pleasant under the stars on Tuesday, according to the forecast. Your relationship zone is being triggered by Saturn, the planet of security and structure, so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your relationship status, now’s the time to do it!
VIRGO
A very emotional weekend awaits you, Virgo—but it will be an emotional weekend in a good manner. This week, the Moon is in your sign, making it easier for you to open up to people, and the romantic astrological forecast for Monday makes you more willing to offer (and receive) love. It is well-known that you are a logical thinker who is not very emotional, but I advise you to embrace these feelings, bb. Allow yourself to be goofy, sweet, and lovey-dovey (some may even say corny) with your significant other, and you could find that you wind up bringing a tremendous shine to your relationship.
LIBRA
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your love life isn’t going to be receiving much attention this weekend, Libra. Open up your dating apps, though, since even if you’re unlikely to find a connection, there are plenty of hotties waiting to get to know you! Although you have a strong desire to fall in love and can easily flirt with virtually anybody, you’re being advised to be very thorough this week, study all of your flirtationships, and take your time in search of the right match. Look for someone with whom you have a strong connection, someone who appreciates you as much as you appreciate them. Whatever happens this week, DW, remember that Sagittarius season is all about creating new relationships, and you have plenty of time to take use of this opportunity to do so.
SCORPIO
The astrology for Monday, despite the fact that there isn’t much going on this weekend, is ideal for providing your love life a much-needed jolt of energy. All that is required is the ability to take the initiative and complete the task. Send a flirty message to a new hottie on your favorite dating app, ask your crush out, or initiate The Talk. You’re feeling a little self-conscious this week, but if you can get beyond that and put yourself out there, you can accomplish amazing things. No matter whether you’re looking for a hookup, a first date, or to DTR, the stars are on your side!
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius, either speak now or eternally keep your quiet, as the saying goes. Cazimi Mercury occurs only a few times a year, and this time it is in your sign, which is fortunate for you. If you’ve been putting off having The Talk with your significant other, now is the time to do it. This transit does not necessarily indicate that you are improving your relationship status, but it does imply that you are becoming more conscious of what you want and need from your romantic life as a result of it. To be sure, this may include converting your crush into your lover, but it might also entail terminating a bad relationship or breaking off communication with an unpleasant ex. Maintain your integrity, and you’ll be able to determine precisely what you need to say and do.
CAPRICORN
There are some loose ends that need to be tied up, Capricorn, and they’re all going to be tying themselves up this weekend. It seems like your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend is stalking you on social media. Whether they’re attempting to reunite, provoke a quarrel, or hook up, the stars are encouraging you to deal with them once and for all. Be honest with them (and with yourself), speak things out, and decide out what the best course of action is for everyone involved. Deal with the issues from your past now, so that when Capricorn season arrives, you may enjoy your birthday month without any regrets.
AQUARIUS
If you’re in a happy relationship, Aquarius, the astrological weather is perfectly perfect for you tonight. The Moon in Virgo is activating the intimacy zone in your chart, which means you’re bonding intimately with your lover not just on a physical level, but also on an emotional one. This Sunday is a fortunate day if you’re single and want to meet new people. The cazimi Mercury is assisting you in making a large number of new and crucial contacts. Always remember to maintain your regular eccentric and charming demeanor; you never know when the LOYL (or your next date) could be around the corner!
PISCES
This weekend, the Virgo Moon will be in your chart’s relationships zone, making it much simpler to interact with people. Things will feel lot better whether you’re hooking up, going on a first date, or simply chilling with your significant other on a Saturday night. You’re also in luck if you’re seeking for a romantic partner. Because your sign’s dreamy Neptune is being awakened by lovey Venus, you’re naturally attracted to the kind of deep, emotional relationships that you want in your life. Just be cautious: this transit might cause you to see the world through rose-colored glasses, making it easier to overlook warning signs.
