It’s the holidays, why not enjoy your weekend with fun dates in the night lights or stay cozy indoors with good company. Here are 10 date ideas for the winter season!
1. Christmas In The Park
Why not spend an evening with friends, family, or your significant other at Downtown, SJ? You can go on carnival rides, ice skate, or take a stroll down the park and appreciate the X-Mas decor. But don’t forget to stop by their food stands and sip on hot cocoa decorated with snowmen and candy canes!
2. Great America Winterfest
Whether it’s winter, spring, summer, or fall, one of the biggest theme parks in the Bay Area is always ready for the season. You’ve heard of “The Haunt” back in October, but “Winterfest” is in season! If you enjoy roller coasters and cute X-Mas decors at the same time, then Great America is the way to go.
3. DIY Christmas Ornaments
You can always buy ornaments, but why not make them with friends? Grab some plain ornament balls, paint, stickers, or even print pictures of each other to add on the ornament. Now you can spend Christmas Eve with your friends even if they’re not there… at least they’re hanging from your X-Mas tree!
4. Gingerbread House
Have a friendly competition and see who can make a better decorated gingerbread house. I mean even if you lose…you get to eat them anyways!
5. X-Mas Movie/TV Show Marathon
Dates don’t have to be expensive. Have a relaxing day and have a X-Mas marathon with hot cocoa and yummy snacks. Always remember, cheap dates are still memorable dates!
6. White Elephant/Secret Santa
If you’re on a budget this year, why not have a price limit on gifts? It’s the thought that matters. Quality over quantity!
7. Plan A Friendsmas Party
It’s always fun to have a little get together with your friends before we all have to part ways with our family for X-Mas vacation. Have a potluck and play games and enjoy a wholesome night with friends you cherish.
8. X-Mas Caroling
I know it’s a little out-of-date, but is it really “Tis’ the season” if you don’t hear X-Mas songs?
9. DIY X-Mas Treats
No more sneaking downstairs on Christmas Eve and eating mom’s baked cookies for Santa. Why not make your own?
10. See X-Mas Lights & Decorations
Pretty sure I’m not the only one who has done this, but who else is mesmerized by the X-Mas decors in your neighborhood? Go on a little car ride and pass by the beautiful lights and decor that families put on their yard. A little eye candy won’t hurt!
Give these winter dates a go. You can get into the Christmas spirit with friends, family, a significant other, or even yourself! As they say, “It’s the most beautiful time of the year.”
