Skate Night…
If you’re going to be somewhere cold for Christmas, there’s no better way to spend date night than by going ice skating! We know it’s a total cliché but picture this: you’re rugged up in a cosy scarf, surrounded by twinkling lights and holding hands with your date while you skate gracefully around the rink. Now, that’s what we call total holiday bliss!

Christmas Crafts…
If you’re a crafty couple, what better way to get creative than by having a DIY ugly Christmas jumper evening! Go thrift shopping for snuggly sweaters then scout out some Christmassy craft supplies and get decorating. You’re sure to win best dressed at that ugly Christmas sweater party your friend is throwing.

Light The Way…
Going for a drive with your date to find the best Christmas lights in the neighbourhood is a super fun way to incorporate the holiday season into your date night. You can sip hot chocolates and play Christmas songs the whole way there for the ultimate festive experience! To make this Christmas date night even more fun, create a Christmas light scavenger hunt list consisting of very particular things like an inflatable snowman and icicle lights and find everything on the list together.
Tree Time…
If you and your partner feel like no Christmas is complete without a real Christmas tree, spend your date night at a Christmas tree farm. This is made more fun if you actually get to chop the tree down yourself! To make the evening more festive, spend the night decorating your new tree while you dance around the living room to your favourite Christmas songs.

Movie Magic…
Baby, it’s cold outside so you may not feel like adventuring out into the freezing winter night around Christmas time. So, what can you do for date night? Stay in and have a cosy Christmas-movie marathon complete with warm blankets and hot chocolate! Our go-to Christmas movie recommendations are Elf, The Polar Express and Love Actually…total classics! If you’re in the southern hemisphere and cold Christmas’ are non-existent, you can still have the cosy Christmas movie night of your dreams! Just get yourself a cold cocktail instead of a hot chocolate!

A Spot Of Theatre…
If you’re into more traditional entertainment, how about a night at the theatre? Once the holiday season begins, check your local theatre to see if they have any Christmas themed plays or musicals running. This is such a sweet and unique way to spend an evening with your partner during the holidays that will fill you both with Christmas spirit!

Sweet Treat…
For the couple who loves food, spend your holiday date night making a gingerbread house! If you’re a novice, stick to a pre-made kit from the shops but if you and your date are feeling ambitious, have a go at making your own house from scratch. Plus, once you’re finished you’ll have a super tasty treat for dessert!

Log Cabin Love…
For the ultimate holiday date night, go on a romantic getaway to a cosy log cabin for the weekend! Bring along your matching Christmas PJ’s, plenty of board games and prepare to have a blissful Christmas holiday. Try disconnecting from your phones and social media during your getaway so that you can really appreciate one another’s company during this busy season.

Ready, Set, Wrap…
A great way to work through your Christmas to-do list is by making each task fun! If you’ve finally finished your Christmas shopping but you’re dreading having to wrap all of the gifts, have a gift-wrapping competition with your significant other. This not only makes for a fun, festive date night but you’ll also be able to cross wrapping presents off your to-do list!
