We can all agree that the holiday spirit plus romance can be a blast- nothing short of a surreal experience that captures the essence of receiving and giving out love to our partners. One thing’s sure: couples are up for planning dates to treat themselves to a wonderful time in each other’s company.
To that end, here are some ideas to make your holiday date nights a memorable experience:
Classic Movie Night
This is a great chance to see those movies you’ve been yearning to see…together. It is also a great way to spend quality time together, enjoying each other’s company and chit-chatting about the movie all through. Nevertheless, it’d help to see movies that are fitting for the holiday spirit.
Karaoke
Karaoke is a fun way to get into the holiday spirit with your partner while spending time together. A list of holiday songs and a karaoke setup will do perfectly to brighten up your date night. If there’s no karaoke setup, you can easily use YouTube karaoke and connect it to your TV via HDMI.
Shopping for Holiday Decor
You can have holiday shopping as your date. You’d be surprised at how much fun you can have in situations like this- the dilemma of choosing the right decorations, pining over product distractions, considering prices- the works.
Gift Wrapping
Going a step further is actually doing the gift wrapping together. It is often the case that you most likely will engage in meaningful conversations as you do this together.
You can add an air of mystery by wrapping secret gifts (that you had purchased when the other was not looking) for each other.
Cook Dinner together
Add a little culinary flavour to your date night. Instead of a fancy restaurant where you are served a fancy dish, why not stay home and cook together, experimenting with the possibilities of food or just enacting a routine that fits the holiday atmosphere?
A date like this achieves its purpose most during the holidays where you often have to cook large dishes in preparation for the climax of the holiday.
Seeing that the season of festivities is upon us already, you can make this a bucket list that cuts across the days of the holiday. The more, the merrier…
