With the sun becoming a rarity and the temperature dropping continuously, it’s safe to say that winter is finally upon us. But don’t resign yourself to hiding underneath your blankets until springtime just yet because here are five fun winter activities to liven up the snowy months!
Ice Skating
Whether you decide to skate indoors or out, there is no denying the exhilarating rush that always accompanies ice skating. As a perfect mix of fun with friends or family and light exercise, ice skating is definitely a perfect way to spend a cold day.

Cheesy Holiday Movie Night
When it’s freezing cold outside, there isn’t much that can beat out watching those cheesy holiday movies we’ve all come to love. Whether you’re looking for something classic from childhood like Home Alone or something new but just as memorable such as The Princess Switch on Netflix, the options are endless for holiday fun.
Pair that with a sea of warm blankets and snacks galore, and you have yourself a perfect night.
Baking Showdown (A la The Great British Bake Off)
If you’re like me, there is nothing more delightful than indulging in classic wintertime treats like holiday pie or sugar cookies, or my personal favorite: gingerbread. It is especially more rewarding when you make them with your own hands, or when you’re declared the winner of a little competition between family and friends to see which one of you is the ‘Nadiya Hussain’ of the squad.
Making Homemade Hot Chocolate
Is there anything more classic than sipping on hot chocolate in front of a blazing fire on a cold winter night? Take this time to make the traditional taste or experiment freely with a peppermint twist.
Have leftovers? Just pour any extra into mason jars, layer with a healthy amount of marshmallows, and tie a ribbon around it and you have the perfect gift for your loved ones that is both simple and sweet without having to spend more!
Sledding/Tubing
A recreational activity perfect for a sunny yet snowy day! There is nothing more fun for you and your loved ones than rocketing down a snowy hill, and it’s a great way to catch some fresh air instead of staying locked up inside your house.
And while you’re outside, feel free to start a snowball fight for added excitement, or make some of those classic snow-angels in the beautiful white snow. Just make sure you stay nice and bundled!
After all the time spent outside in the cold would make it especially perfect for a nice hot cup of hot chocolate and cozying it up with blankets and a roaring fireplace.
Happy holidays from us, and stay Spiffy this winter!
