mcx-objects-7

As if we needed any more excuses to just Netflix-and-chill our dates away, winter turns out to be the ideal season for homebodies to engage in peak amounts of Staying Inside on Dates . It yields perfect opportunities for loafing around and eating with your significant other, and lest you thought we forgot about you outdoorsy types, we’ve also imagined some extreme adventures to take up in pairs (tobogganing is an extreme sport, right?). Below, our favorite ways to while away the puffy-jacket season with a special friend.

SCHEDULE A COUPLE’S SPA OUTING

Say it with me….*breathes deep*…saunas. Relish the chance to spend some relaxing quality time together with a couple’s massage followed by some steamy sauna time. Nothing will feel better in the dead of winter.

2TAKE A SLEIGH RIDE

A truly picturesque date night scene that’ll remind you of the Christmas song “Sleigh Ride” (clip-clops and all), when you’re both bundled up and explored the city in a horse-drawn carriage.

SCOUR FOR ANTIQUES TOGETHER

If you’re already living in a small town, this will be easier than ever (they’re usually hotspots for great antiques). But if not, seek out a local spot for antiquing where you two can get lost for an hour or two, hunting for records and retro treasures, or perusing the shelves of dusty vintage books.

GO HIKING

A brisk hike is an ideal winter date for adventure-seekers to take in some sights and get in exercise at once (the views! the endorphins!). If you’re both extra outdoorsy, make it a weekend camping trip in the mountains before the weather gets too severe.

MAKE FONDUE (SERIOUSLY)

When it’s too chilly outside to even think about leaving the great indoors, have you ever considered *whispers* chilling by the fire while you’re eating fondue? (We came up with this ourselves and did not get this from a well-known pop song).
