There is just something incredibly romantic about the cold, gray winter. There are honestly no other months when you want to cozy up with someone so much.

The weird thing is that even though the winter months make you want to cozy up so much, the number of things you can do out with the romantic interest become super limited.

20 Romantic Winter Date Ideas That’ll Give You the Warm and Fuzzies

1. Ice Skating

If you live in a place that has actual snowfall (first of all lucky!) then an outdoor ice skating date on a frozen lake or clearing is such a fun date to go on, especially if you’re both beginners it can be a super hilarious date! But you know, if you live in a place that doesn’t experience snowfall, a lot of towns have those indoor skating rinks so a quick google search can lead you to a new gem…

2. Wine Tasting

Wine tasting could be such a great date idea for the winter. I don’t know why but wine and romance just go together so well! (Especially if it’s red wine!) So find you nearest wine shop and book a cozy little wine tasting date.

3. Indoor Picnic

An indoor picnic is one of those genius date ideas that is actually perfect. All you need to do is make space in the living room, throw down a blanket and lots of pillows (and candles if you’re feeling frisky!) and of course most important, the yummy romantic picnic food like chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate all by itself. This date is perfect because of the lots of snuggling opportunities… and the food!

4. Hotel Staycation

I know renting a hotel room sounds a little risqué, which is why this is the type of date to go on with someone you’re totally comfortable with. But what sounds better than a night of being pampered? Going on couples massages and lounging in a hotel room?!

5. Paint and Sip

The beauty about a date like this is that it can be at home or at a place that does paint and sips… Just think about how much fun it would be to crack open a bottle of wine and a Bob Ross YouTube video? This is the type of fun date you have on a random Saturday but somehow remember forever!

6. Coffee Date

I can’t think of anything better or cozier than an afternoon spent in a coffee shop on a cold winter day. Just the coffee smell, the cozy vibes it’s all so romantic, honestly!

7. Dinner Date

I know there is nothing unique about a dinner date, but somehow dinner dates in the winter feel so special, especially if you pick a good intimate restaurant…Honestly sometimes just you need a gold old classic restaurant dinner date night…

8. Harry Potter Movie Marathon

Where are my Potterheads at? I can’t imagine anyone out there that is not a fan of the Harry Potter movies, so a good date night in could be a movie marathon of all the movies. And the best part is that if you haven’t seen the movies, this could still be a fantastic date night movie night because these movies are just so atmospheric and perfect for cozying up together!

9. Go on a Stroll

Going on a stroll may seem like the worst idea for a date, but just think about it. You and your partner all bundled up, feeling warm and cozy, taking a leisurely stroll in a park or something, holding hands and just enjoying each other’s company. Nothing seems more00 romantic!

10. Make a Meal Together

There is something painfully romantic about cooking with someone you really like or even love. The slow process of making something together out of a random bunch of ingredients. Talking and tasting, ugh! It’s honestly always feels like a scene out of a rom-com…

11. Beer Tasting

Think about it, beer makes your belly feel warm and full, so a beer tasting date at a local brewery could be the perfect fun and light winter date that you need…

12. Game Night

I don’t know about you but I’m obsessed with game nights! A good game night can not only be so much fun, but it can reveal so much about a person. There so many amazing two person games that you can play like chess (if you’re feeling competitive) or UNO (which is super fun)…

13. Make S’mores

S’mores are the coziest of all the comfort foods and a s’mores date night could be so much fun… and sweet! It could be as easy as roasting some chocolates and marshmallows in a tray in the oven or you could get an at home s’mores kit (which are actually super inexpensive and easy to set up) and have a night of making s’mores and having fun.

14. Go See a Musical/Play

A great idea for a date would be to go see a musical or a play or even a movie at the cinema. A live musical during the winter just feels like the perfect thing to do, right?!

15. Matching PJ’s Night

Get some matching pajamas and have a fun night in with your partner. You could do anything from watching movies to having a self-care night with facemasks and wine coolers. Everything just feels better wearing matching pajamas!

16. Visit a Bookstore

If y’all are book nerds, the perfect date could be strolling through a bookstore picking out books. I’m a proud book nerd and honestly this type of a date seems like a dream…

17. Go Dancing

I don’t mean slow dancing or like the tango when I say go dancing. I mean heat-pumping, sweaty, mindless dancing that you feel in your soul. Nothing could bring two people closer together than dancing like that together…

18. Build a Cozy Car Fort

If your town has some amazing scenic spots, take a drive out, fill your car up with blankets and pillows and snacks and just have a blast being cozy in the car.

19. Go Gift Shopping Together

Since the holidays are during the winter months, a good way to to spend time together would be to go gift shopping together. Take your partner with you as you shop gifts for your friends and family. It’s such a cute way to get to know each other more!

20. Go Sledding

Sledding is so much fun and if you live in a snowy place where this is possible? Break out the sled and just have some plaid old fun outdoors with your partner!
