Wanting to have some fun this Christmas season with your sweetie but lacking date ideas? Never fear! Here are eight fun (and cheap!) winter date ideas for college couples:
1. Blanket Fort + Netflix Night
Who says blanket forts are for preschoolers? Grab your sweetie and that old quilt from the hall closet and build your cozy fortress, then pop some microwave popcorn, and press play on your favorite Netflix titles!
2. Ice Skating
Check out your local ice rink for open skate times, and lace up those ice skates for some fun on the ice!
3. Take a Winter Nature Hike
Grab your mittens and bundle up for a nature walk to enjoy the beauty of your winter wonderland together.
4. Bake Cookies
Heat up the kitchen with your honey with a little holiday baking and this great sugar cookie recipe.
5. Build an Igloo
Grab your snow pants and go play in the snow together! Check out this website for a great step-by-step igloo building tutorial!
6. Catch a Christmas Show at Your Local Theater
Nothing says Christmas like some solid Christmas music! Check out your local theaters for choir concerts, orchestras, and plays during the Christmas season.
7. Volunteer
Many soup kitchens, missions, and nursing homes welcome volunteers to help serve meals, visit with residents, and read to residents. Look into programs in your area — doing good for others with your sweetheart will give you twice the warm fuzzies!
8. Go check out the Christmas lights in your town
Pack up a thermos of cocoa and a blanket to keep you both toasty, gas up the car and take a drive around some of the neighborhoods in your town in search for the house with the best Christmas light display.
