When you come home over Christmas break, it's hard to find fun in your hometown. During the winter, it's hard to find the motivation to go out and find things to do. However, there are plenty of fun things to do in almost any town, and there are tons of fun date ideas that aren't taken advantage of. Here are nine fun winter dates to go on.

1. Ice skating

The seasonal classic. There's nothing more romantic than falling down in front of your date or showing off your skills if you actually know how to ice skate. It's a fun way to adventure outside your comfort and really get in the Christmas spirit.

2. Walks in the snow

Even though it's cold, it's so pretty after it snows. If you can bear the cold, why not take advantage of it? Also, during the winter, the parks are fairly empty, so you can enjoy the snow in peace with your SO.

3. Hot chocolate and movie night

There's nothing like curling up with a mug of hot chocolate and putting on your favorite movies to spend time together and stay warm.

4. Decorating a Christmas tree

If you live together, this is a fun seasonal one. It's a cute little bonding activity to do together. If you really want to go all out, you can even go pick out your own tree together.

5. Christmas shopping

Whether it's online or at a mall, it's cute to walk around picking out presents for the people that you love with the person that you love.

6. Sledding or skiing

If there's snow on the ground, then why not go snowing or skiing? Even though sledding is normally just for kids, why not still do it as adults, especially if neither of you ski.

7. Baking Christmas cookies

There's nothing more fun than baking with your SO. Not only can you eat what you've made, but it's also something fun to do together.

8. Try something new

Have an interest in common, but have never done anything with it before? Why not use the free time that you have over the holidays and try a new hobby?

9. Look at Christmas lights

Whether you drive around neighborhoods to see them, or you go to the mall or the zoo, the lights are so pretty, and some people go all out with their lights.
