Bells are jingling, stores are bustling, and miracles are bountiful. The cold months of December-January are full of magic, and also bring heavy opportunities for romance and love.
Are you looking for some cute holidate ideas this to indulge with bae in? Or are you still swiping but looking for the perfect date idea to take your dream person on? Either way, we got you.
1. Holiday Markets
No matter where you are in the world, there is more likely than not to be a Christmas or holiday market happening near you. Often, these markets include a beautiful, romantic ambiance (and are Aunty/Uncle resistant, so you won’t run into any familiar faces on a first date). Giant Christmas trees, hot cider, mulled wine, and trinkets create a perfect recipe and environment for magic to happen! Plus, they’re usually open for a while after New Years too.
2. Build Your Own Hot Chocolate Festival
No, seriously! So many local cafés put together holiday special menus and recipes for their customers. A little bit of quick research into your local food scene will help you establish all of the necessary places to go to and check out the latest warm chocolate recipes. Turn it into a Festival for you and bae by creating a route or a schedule to check out all the Christmas cafés in your neighborhood. Or, make your food tour and hop around town! Pizzas, tacos, noodles, etc. The options are endless.
3. Bollywood Night In
Nothing beats the magic and romance of Bollywood during the holiday season. Now is a=the perfect time to set into the unreal stories in Bollywood films – the exuberance is so similar to holiday cheer, and the outfits are as dazzling and sparkly as holiday dresses and coats.
Consider watching a Bollywood movie like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Bang Bang, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, and any other movie with a sweet soundtrack, adventurous plot, and sweet emotional depth that will leave you wanting more.
4. Check out Holiday Lights
No, seriously. If you’ve done this with family in the past, it can easily turn into a date idea! Grab a couple of cups of something warm, and enjoy the comforts of a vehicle against the cold winter nights of winter (unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, of which case, be sure to rank up your car’s AC). Local neighborhoods all around the city transform into beautiful scapes full of lights, wonder and joy. Enjoy the intimacy of one on one time as you explore the magic that transforms your city!
