I’m afraid the rumors are true: Winter is, in fact, upon us. But while the colder weather may find you ready to cuddle up with takeout and TV ‘til spring, let this be your reminder that winter does not mean you have to put your dating life on hold. While this may not be the sexiest time of year, it is the coziest—which means that the cooler months ahead are filled with romantic date-night potential.
To help you make the most of that potential, allow me to present this list of the best winter date ideas for you and whoever you’re cuddling up to this season. Whether you’re already happily cuffed and committed, single and seeking, or feeling things out with a new crush, there’s something on this list for every kind of winter date vibe. Prepare to fill your cold-weather calendar with these 18 winter date ideas.
What better way to heat up your winter nights than an evening of laughs with the one you love? And by the way, you don’t have to shell out for a Netflix Special taping (although if you can swing it, by all means). Tons of venues in cities across the country regularly host affordable standup shows where you can grab some food or a drink and enjoy a chill night filled with plenty of laughs.
To be clear, you can support the arts any time. But there’s just something a little fancy-yet-cozy about winter ballet. In a similar if much sexier vein, nothing beats a burlesque date night.
If you’re New York–based (or have an NYC trip coming up this holiday season) I literally can’t recommend Company XIV’s Nutcracker Rouge highly enough. Can you technically see a play any time of year? But you can’t tell me there’s not something about “going to the theater” that just seems to ooze a certain wintery sophistication.
Whether it’s a Broadway show or a more intimate performance at your local theater, catching some live entertainment is a perfect way to spend a winter night out on the town. If you’re down to class things up a bit this winter, nothing will make you feel more sexy and sophisticated than a jazz club date night—just you and your date, sipping cocktails and enjoying some live tunes. If you and your person are already seasoned slope-hitters, then a ski trip is a given.
