You don’t have to stay during winter. These romantic dates and getaway suggestions can give your love life a seasonal boost.
Many individuals look forward to huddling up under a blanket until the cold weather passes. But there’s really no excuse for ignoring your romantic life.. In fact, there are a plethora of activities available that provide a welcome change of pace from the norm throughout the winter months, making it an ideal time to indulge in all things romantic.
Of course, not every winter is the same; for example, an Irish winter is vastly different from an Alaskan blizzard that lasts for three months! As a result, while snow is a common theme in many of the ideas below, there are usually alternatives for individuals who live in areas where the weather is less white.
Dates that are both romantic and novel..
For the colder months.
Make a big pile of wood and have a winter bonfire, complete with marshmallows. Seasonal bonfires are one of the most romantic ways to spend time with a special someone.
Carrots and coals are what you’ll get.
Fun and goofy, it captures the spirit of winter in a nutshell. Of course, we’re referring to the age-old tradition of sledding. However, don’t limit yourself to the standard format; instead, use your imagination, engage your artistic side, and have some fun to see what you can come up with.
Roasting chestnuts over an open flame?
This is a romantic winter date that has stood the test of time. A fireplace adds instant romance to a home, but only if you have a cozy log cabin or cottage, a crackling fire, and your soul mate to enjoy it with.
Photo ops!
If you and your significant other have an artistic bent, the winter months offer a wealth of wonderful photo ops.
Picnic in the Inuit style.
Try an Inuit picnic if there is no snow. Basically, this entails constructing an igloo and laying out a picnic for your loved one to enjoy. When it comes to building a fire within one, it’s a no-brainer if you’ve mastered the technique of doing so.
Vultures of the cultural realm.
Museums and galleries are well-heated, interesting distractions that can keep you and your loved one occupied, and are likely to be nearly deserted throughout the winter months, allowing you to enjoy each other’s company in an intimate setting.
Playing snowballs.
A romantic snowball fight is a terrific idea for a couple who like a little rough and tumble. Please, no ice-bullets at high velocities!
Down low.
The next best thing is to dust off the sled and head for some hills if you can’t afford a ski or snowboard vacation. For a fun time in the snow, nothing beats going sledding together.
Ice carving.
A wide variety of ice sculpture exhibits are held during the winter. Take a tour of this outdoor art gallery, sign up for a class and learn how to make your own masterpieces.
Take a stroll around the forest.
In the winter, the woods are delightfully calm and enchanting, making them ideal for a romantic stroll.
Get steamy.
A trip to the hot springs is a great opportunity to undress and spend some quality time with your significant other during the cold winter months. Make use of a hot tub or sauna if you can’t get to a swimming pool in your immediate area.
Ice Skating.
Even if you’re a novice skater who relies on constant human touch to keep from falling over, you and your loved one will still have a terrific time skating together!
A cup of hot cocoa.
With a flask of hot chocolate and the person of your dreams at your side, it sounds like a fantasy come true. When it comes to a wintertime date, it doesn’t get much more romantic than this.
Get on a plane and fly away.
It’s no secret that winter isn’t for everyone. If the thought of shaving your underarms with a rusty spoon sounds more enticing, the solution is as simple as dialing up a travel agent and booking a flight to the tropics.
This winter, instead of sulking on the couch, try something new with your significant other. While there are plenty of romantic activities to partake in throughout the year, there are a few extra perks to huddling up and getting close when the snow starts falling.
