Tired of staying inside and not knowing what to do with friends during the winter? Well, do not fear! The winter months are perfect to spend time with family and friends while embracing the cold and snowy weather. Even though the winter weather might be freezing, there is still so much to do. Here are 10 activities to try out with friends or family during this winter season.

1. Hot chocolate party, anyone?

This is the perfect time of the year to bring friends together for a hot chocolate party and a movie. Set out some marshmallows, whipped cream, and other delicious toppings and enjoy your sweet treat with your favorite holiday movie.

2. Take a trip to a ski lodge.

Nothing says winter like sledding! Plan a weekend getaway to a ski lodge with friends or family. Here, you can ski, snowboard or even go tubing.

3. Find some Christmas lights.

If you want to see some really beautiful Christmas lights, take a day trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania or just take a trip around a decorated neighborhood instead. The lights here are absolutely breathtaking and a perfect way to celebrate the holiday season.

4. Ice skating

Whether it is on a frozen pond, lake, or at an indoor ice skating rink, skating is a fun activity to do with friends during these cold months.

5. Bake cookies

Baking is great. You can bake cookies or even any tasty treat for that matter! Set aside a day where everyone can bring over their favorite family recipes and share some delicious desserts.

6. Sit around a fire

The best way to bundle up and stay warm during the winter months is warming up by the fire. If you have a fireplace indoors, now is the perfect time to start it up. If you are feeling outdoorsy, put together a bonfire for all of your friends and family.

7. Visit the city

New York City is always an amazing place to visit, but in the winter, it seems to be even more spectacular. Spending a day in the city is the perfect winter getaway.

8. Who does not love a spa day?

Relax and treat yourself to a day at the spa or set up your own little in-home-spa.

9. You are never too old to build a fort

Grab some sheets and lights and build a cute fort indoors. Top it off with some blankets and a movie!

10. Play board games

Try playing a few of the classics like Clue or Monopoly. Some of my favorites are Life and Sorry.

These are just a few ways to spend time with friends and family! Instead of hibernating indoors all winter long, get creative and discover more new ways to embrace the winter season.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
