4. Night Sledding/Tubing 

We’ve all gone sledding during the day… but how many of us have gone during the night time!? Luckily, there are many ski resorts offering night sledding with LED lights and live DJ’s this winter season! Whether or not you’re a winter person, sledding is a universally enjoyable activity for all ages! For those who live in California (or those who are looking for a winter getaway), check out this Disco Tubing located in Lake Tahoe!

5. Cookie Decorating Contest

Christmas isn’t Christmas without baking cookies! Whether you’re using a family recipe or using store bought dough (shhh… don’t worry bestie, we won't tell), having a cookie decorating contest is always a fun and easy way to spend quality time with your loved ones! After all, a little competition never hurt nobody! 

6. Take Holiday Photos

If you’re anything like us, then you’re always down for a photoshoot! I mean.. Who doesn’t love getting their picture taken with loved ones!? The great thing about taking pictures during the Holiday season is that there are so many beautiful locations to choose from! The snowy woods, in front of your Christmas tree, downtown where all the decorations are, etc! These photos can be used to update your Instagram profile, to create Holiday cards, or to keep for memories!

7. Go Ice Skating

There’s nothing more romantic than ice skating in the midst of winter. Even if you don’t know how to ice skate, at least you’ll have your significant other there to hold your hand and glide you through it. We can’t think of a better way to get a little extra attention from your boo this season ;)

8. Decorate Your Christmas Tree

We can all agree that this is one of our favorite childhood memories! Listening to holiday music while the fireplace is crackling and decorating your Christmas tree with ornaments that you have collected throughout the years is definitely top tier. Christmas tree decorating is a perfect activity to engage in for those who are introducing their new boo to the family! 

9. Volunteer for a Toy Drive

It is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas and to give back to your community! Volunteering at a toy drive is not only a super cute date, but a rewarding experience! Volunteering will make you and your partner grateful for each other and all of the things that you have :)

10. Attend An Ugly Sweater Party

We can’t be the only ones that have this on their Holiday bucket list! Search through your grandma’s old sweater collection or hit up the nearest Spencer’s and get sweaters for you and your significant other that will have you both nominated for “ugliest sweaters” at the party! For some, the holiday season can be stressful. Attending a party as such can be the perfect time for both of you to unwind and embrace the magical season!

11. Wrap Gifts

This season is about giving and being grateful for what you have. Wrapping gifts is a great way to spend quality time together during the holidays. Make it romantic! Cook a nice Christmas dinner together, pour yourselves a glass of wine (or two), and look up unique ways to wrap gifts!
