Fun Things to Do in Winter as a Couple
Winter brings a unique kind of magic that makes it perfect for creating special memories with your partner. Whether you’re both outdoor enthusiasts or prefer staying snug indoors, there’s something about winter that invites you to slow down and connect as you engage in fun activities together.
Explore the great outdoors together
There’s something invigorating about bundling up and stepping outside to experience winter’s beauty as a couple, so lace up your boots for a long hike in the woods or a scenic riverside wander.
For those living in cities or towns, winter walks during golden hour or a stroll through a local park or market can be equally enchanting. Don’t forget to pause for a warm drink from a thermos or wrap up the day at a nearby café with a hot chocolate in hand.
Plan a cosy winter getaway
Escaping your usual routine with a winter getaway can feel like a reset for your relationship.
Look for charming cabins or cottages where you can hunker down for a couple of days, snuggled up under soft blankets in front of a crackling fireplace. Many winter lodges also offer outdoor hot tubs, which add a romantic touch to your retreat.
If you want to make it more adventurous, head to a ski resort where you can hit the slopes by day and unwind by a roaring fire at night. Alternatively, a city break in winter can be just as rewarding. Many European cities are perfectly suited for a winter getaway and are often a lot quieter at this time of year than the during peak summer season.
Enjoy indoor entertainment
Winter’s cold provides the perfect excuse to spend lazy evenings together indoors.
Curling up with a great film or binge-watching a new series in your pyjamas can be an excellent way to relax together. Add popcorn and cosy blankets to make it feel special. If you’re feeling competitive, you could even try playing classic games like bingo together or dust off your board games for a lively game night.
Try something creative together
Winter also lends itself to creative indoor projects that help you bond and have fun together trying something new.
If you would like to try your hand at creating something tangible you can cherish together, you could consider making a scrapbook or a photo collage. Perhaps there’s a DIY project you’ve been eager to try, such as upcycling some furniture or redecorating a room. Winter provides the perfect opportunity to do these indoor tasks while you hide away from the cold weather.
For foodies, plan special date nights where you can show off your cooking skills or try your hand at recreating some of your favourite dishes from local restaurants or takeaways.
