Before winter we all can’t wait for it to arrive but then once it’s here we can’t wait for the summer! It’s time to take advantage of the cold weather and plan some fun winter date nights! After all, it is the most wonderful time of the year! Winter is the perfect time to cozy up on the couch with your special someone and watch some movies. But once all the movies have been watched and all the hot cocoa has been drunk, remember this list of fun date nights to give you some ideas!

Look at Christmas Lights

Take a stroll or even a drive around the neighborhood to look at all the holiday lights. Maybe even go to a Christmas light show and make a whole evening out of it!

Go Ice Skating

Try your hand at ice skating! Be sure to dress warm because it can get really cold at an ice rink.

Build Gingerbread Houses

There are so many ways this can be done! Buy a pre-made kit and have fun putting it together or get some graham crackers and all sorts of candies and build your own creation. You could also make your own gingerbread from scratch! Click here for a good recipe to help you out!

Make a Snowman

Spend some time outdoors and build a snowman! Find some fun accessories to add, like a hat or a scarf, and create new memories building a snowman as an adult.

Go Sledding

Dress nice and warm and find the best sledding hill around. After a fun day of sledding, head home and make some hot cocoa to warm up.

Make S’mores

This idea is perfect for a brisk winter night. Start a fire and roast some marshmallows! To make this date last longer you could make your whole dinner over the fire by roasting some hotdogs. Don’t forget the graham crackers and chocolate to make the s’mores!

Build a Fort

If you want to have a fun date night but would rather stay in, this idea is perfect for you! Go around your house and find all the blankets and pillows that you can and build a fort. Pro tip: Build it in front of the tv so you can cozy up in the fort and watch a movie together!

Visit a Holiday Market

Do some research to find out if there are any holiday markets in your area. They make for a great date night! They usually offer all kinds of foods, decor to look at, Christmas shopping, and even live entertainment.

Book a Photoshoot

Book a winter photoshoot! You’ll have tons of fun with your partner and you will get beautiful memories captured!

I hope this list gave you a fun date night idea to try with your special someone! If you’re in need of a photographer, click here so we can chat!

KIND WORDS

“After looking at Sara’s work online, we booked her for a family photo session with our new baby. Right off the bat, Sara was professional, warm, and knew exactly how to make everyone feel relaxed in order to capture the most natural pictures. What she captured for our family was breathtaking. She has helped to create memories that we will be able to treasure forever. We will absolutely be looking to book her again for future sessions.”
