1. A Romantic Holiday Walk
This classic never goes out of style. Some of the most romantic, scenic walks I’ve had were in European cities. However, you don’t need to be there to enjoy it.
Tips To Make It Extra Special
- Hold her hand and put your hand around her.
- Stop, kiss her unexpectedly, and tell her you love her (if you do, that is).
- Grab some hot cocoa or coffee to sip on.
2. Outdoor Ice Skating
The most authentic experience you can have is skating outdoors. There’s something about the nippy, fresh air that is stimulating. If you can’t find outdoor skating near you, indoor will do just fine.
Tips To Make It Extra Special
- Help her stay balanced by holding her hand (if you’re a better skater than she is).
- Take a break and snuggle as you sip hot chocolate together.
- Laugh at yourself when you fall down.
3. Christmas Light Shows
My father took us to these when my brothers and I were little. I’ll never forget the excitement I felt. It was magical! All these years later, I think it’s still one of the most romantic holiday dates you can take your partner on.
Most of them are in parks or large areas where you have to drive through. If you prefer to walk instead and cannot find one, most downtown areas are beautifully decorated and lit this time of year.
Tips To Make It Extra Special
- Make a holiday CD or playlist of music for her and play it.
- Grab some coffee or hot chocolate to sip on.
- Bring a blanket for her in case she gets cold.
4. The Nutcracker Ballet
If your girlfriend or wife loves the arts, this is a date that never gets old. Some people have made it a holiday tradition and go every year. Here is a list of venues to take your date to experience the Nutcracker.
Tips To Make It Extra Special
- Do some research if you’re not familiar with the venue and get good seats.
- If you tend to fall asleep, then drink something to stay away (smile).
- If the thought of this bores you to tears, just skip it.
