I have always had a love for this time of year. It’s made even more special since Andrew and I celebrate our dating anniversary and our engagement anniversary in December. I wanted to share 11 amazing holiday date ideas for you and your significant other to try out this holiday season.
11 Amazing Holiday Date Ideas
Take a carriage ride: We did this last year. We took a carriage ride to look at lights which was on my bucket list. It was super fun but SO COLD! If you city offers this I highly suggest it! Good reason to cuddle up!
Go Ice Skating: I love ice skating and while I can’t do it this year because I am pregnant, I can’t wait to go next year.
Get some cocoa and walk around looking at lights: Usually we get cocoa from 7-Eleven (my favorite in the world) and go drive around and look at lights. BUT if you live somewhere where you can walk and look at lights that would be so fun.
Have an at home picnic by the fireplace: Nothing says romance like a picnic and making a fire and having an at home picnic is the perfect date for this time of year.
Watch holiday movies and bake cookies: Who doesn’t love holiday movies? Bake some cookies for your honey and watch some movies. Bonus if you each pick one.
Go see a special holiday program in your town: Holiday orchestra, the nutcracker, those are the best this time of year.
Go to a tree lighting: There are a ton of them in Dallas, but every year we go to Klyde Warren Park downtown and see their tree lighting. It was one of our very first dates together so it holds a special place for us.
Go Christmas shopping together: Not everyone would love this, but if you aren’t in a rush it would be fun to go to the mall and walk around and shop in the stores together.
Go to a movie theater and see a holiday throwback movie: We have a place in Dallas called Alamo Drafthouse and every year they show a ton of holiday movies. For the last three years we have gone to see Home Alone because they do all you can eat cheese pizza. It’s so much fun!
Have a fancy dinner date: While this isn’t necessarily a holiday date per-say it is a fun thing to do this time of year. Get gussied up and fancy and go to a nice restaurant. If they have holiday decor up it just makes it more fun.
Go out for New Years Eve: We are NOT huge NYE people but if you are, it’s a fun night to have a date night!
