5 Holiday Date Ideas

Date Ideas | December 20, 2017

The festive holiday season offers a lot of cozy and romantic date possibilities set amidst a backdrop of snow.

Here are five holiday date ideas to go on this winter season.

1. Attend a Winter/Holiday Themed Event In Your City
   A quick online search will come up with a lot of different winter/holiday events happening right in your own city.

   Whether it’s an ice sculpture event, a maple taffy event, or a holiday market, your city will definitely be hosting a lot of holiday events this season, many of which will make great holiday date ideas.

   If you wanted to make it a weekend event, simply choose an event in the next city over!

2. Go See the Nutcracker/Listen to Christmas Carols
   The Nutcracker is a classic Christmas story. This ballet just happens to be a great date option, especially if you enjoy the theatre and/or ballet.

   Alternatively, you may also be able to find Christmas carols being sung near your home.

3. Cut Down a Christmas Tree Together
   When it comes to gay or lesbian dating, do you prefer more outdoorsy options? If so, cutting down a Christmas tree together is a very holiday-inspired date option. Complete your date by decorating the tree together!
4. Go Skiing or Skating
   Another outdoorsy option is to go skiing or skating. Many ski resorts also offer night skiing, which can elevate the romantic atmosphere a little bit more. You could go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing as well.

   The latter two options would really allow you to enjoy the company of your date as well as the beautiful, fresh, outdoor air.

   Another option?

   Tobaggoning!

   That’s a date that will be sure to incite a lot of laughs.

5. Holiday Baking & Holiday Movie
   Are you looking for a date option that you could do at home? Holiday baking (or making homemade holiday decorations if you’re crafty) paired with a classic holiday movie is a great option.

   Don’t forget holiday-inspired drinks (mulled wine or apple cider are great options), holiday lights, and some candles to really turn your date into a magical evening.
