10 Fun Cheap Date Ideas To Do In The Winter

Every couple could use a few fun cheap date ideas to do in the winter. Here are a few suggestions to keep your relationship going hot and heavy when it’s cold outside. Remember winter dates should be just as fun and romantic as their warm weather coutner parts.    

1. Enjoy a fire on your winter date. Instead of going out stay in and curl up by a raging fire. Stage a complete snow in and watch movies, make smores and play board games.  
2. Take a walk. This summertime standard is a winning winter date too. A crisp snow covered park makes a romantic backdrop for an evening star-gazing stroll. Just make sure to bring a full thermos of hot chocolate to keep your girl warm.
3. Play in the snow. It was a fun way to spend winter afternoons when you were little and it’s still a blast. Make snowmen, snow castles, snow angels or a fort on your winter date. Just don’t throw anything. Taking an ice ball to the head is never romantic. Save the snowball fights for your buddies.
4. See the Christmas lights. Hop in the car and see who has the best display.  
5. Go sledding on your winter date. Race down a hill with your date clutched in your arms. Buy a cheap sled at a mart store or borrow one from a friend if you plan on using this cheap winter date idea.
6. Visit a craft faire on your winter date. The Christmas craft season really kicks off in winter. Check out the local events with your date. While you’re cruising the booths try to find a cute personalized gift that your girlfriend would like.  
7. Ice Skating. It’s considered a classic winter date for a reason. Lace up and take your date out on the ice for a few go-rounds.
8. Check out a local coffee shop poetry session. Listen to some local artists while sipping on delicious lattes or hot apple cider.
9. Go Christmas caroling. Spread a little holiday joy by singing through the streets. You can only try out this fun cheap date idea before the holidays so don't procrastinate on this one. 
10. Learn how to make some holiday cocktails on your winter date. Bring home a bartending book and a couple of bottles then try your hand at making hot buttered rum or a Hot Toddy together.
