Tis the season to be freezin’! But why be cold alone when you could be cold with your friends or your significant other; here are a few Winter date ideas perfect for you, your boo or just the girlies. Happy shivers campers.
Go to the snow
Snowfall just started in Big Bear so why be cold at home when you could be cold in the mountains. Take your significant other and go play in the snow. Have a snowball fight, make a snowman, make some snow angels and overall just have a fun time in the winter wonderland.
Cuddle up and watch a movie
The winter rain makes the perfect stay at home weather, so cuddle up with your friends or significant other and watch some feel good classics. Whether it’s Hallmark, “Harry Potter” or “Happy Feet,” there is a winter classic for everyone to enjoy cuddling under the covers.
Ice skating
Even if you have never skated before, ice skating is the perfect date regardless of the season. You and your significant other, or homies, can hold onto each other attempting to keep each other afloat over the slippery ice.
Coffee crawl or hot cocoa crawl
Coffee warms the soul, so what better way to spend a rainy winter day than inside the many coffee shops Riverside has to offer. Grab your friends or significant other and head on over to Coffeecito House or Back To The Grind — there is a coffee shop for everyone to enjoy. For more information on the perfect coffee crawl check out Riverside Coffee Crawl by Ashley Carranza. If coffee is not your cup of tea, try a hot chocolate crawl and find the best hot cocoa in Riverside county.
Book store
Cuddling up with a good book in a cozy book store is the perfect way to spend any cold day. You and your significant other can go to a book store and pick out books for each other to read, find a corner and chow through the whole novel in an afternoon. Afterwards, head to a coffee shop or get dinner and talk about the crazy world or characters you were just introduced to.
Cooking something for the soul
Cooking together with your significant other is the perfect low-budget winter date. Make something homely and warm such as your favorite soups or pasta to warm your frozen heart this winter season.
Stargazing
If you or your significant other are whipping a Ford F-150 (or literally any truck), fill the bed of the car up with pillows, blankets and stuffed animals, drive to Joshua Tree and stare into the stars. Although it might be a little chilly on the cold winter nights, y’all can keep each other warm in the makeshift truck bed.
Happy dating campers! Stay warm out in these streets.
