Date Night Ideas For The Holidays

Modern Wedding Posted: December 4, 2020

Looking for ways to spend date night with your partner? We’ve come up with some really cute, romantic and fun ideas for the holidays.

All Of The Lights…

PUMP UP the Christmas music and drive around your local area that has the best light displays. There’s no doubt that this is a must-do every year! Create a list of your favourite streets and pass on the knowledge to your friends and family. They’ll love you for it! Make it super fun and plan to visit your favourite restaurant or dessert place once you’ve finished.

Picnic For Two…

If gift-giving isn’t your thing, you can plan a special Christmas themed picnic for you and your loved one. Organise to have all of your favourite Chrissy foods, desserts and drinks! Style it up with all of the must-have trimmings. Think tinsel, wreaths, baubles and lots of mistletoe…hint hint! (SO romantic)

Via Avenue Lifestyle

Holiday Bake-Off…

Set a date for you and your partner and prepare to have the ultimate holiday bake-off. Bake or create a Christmas treat and make it super interesting by having a competition of who’s Christmas creation has been decorated the best. Think along the lines of a gingerbread house, cookies and or even cupcakes! Oh and did we mention, it must be done in your most ugly Christmas sweater!

Plan A Holiday Themed Shoot…

Christmas is undoubtedly one of the most romantic times of the year. Create memories and capture them by planning a holiday-themed shoot! Think about whether you want this to take place in your own home (especially if you’re super proud of your Christmas decorations) or book in a studio session! We love this idea as you can use the pictures for your Christmas card! So cute!

Via Cellar Jane

The Ultimate Date…

Okay, hands down this is our favourite idea yet! So, listen up! Put on your favourite Christmas pyjamas (you and your partner must be matching; this is a non-negotiable) and put up your Christmas tree whilst listening to your favourite carols! Jump straight into the Christmas spirit with your partner and get excited for the most wonderful time of the year…

Via Mia Mia Mine

A Night In…

Besides driving around and chasing after the perfect Christmas lights there’s something else on our list that is an absolute must-do! A Christmas movie marathon, of course! Cosy up with your beloved, prepare your favourite movie snacks and drinks then get your Chrissy marathon on. We suggest searching for a Christmas movie advent calendar or, do it your way, and binge as many as you like in one day.

Via Blondie In The City

The Ornament Exchange…

Start a new tradition between you and your and partner and plan to do an ornament exchange. Make it super romantic and personalise your own baubles, buy an ornament that has a significant meaning for you both or something cute that could be an inside joke that no one else will understand. Be sure to keep this going year after year and start your own collection. Then look back in the years to come and revisit all of your Christmas memories. Ahh, so romantic!

Via Etsy

Wrap It…Wrap It Good!

Wrapping presents for some can be such a bore! So why not turn this into fun date night idea. Challenge your partner to a present wrapping competition and see who can do this the quickest.  Put aside an equal number of pressies, set your timer and Go, Go, Go!  Oh and create a batch of your favourite Christmas cocktail and enjoy that as you go!
