What is what to do when it's cold outside with friends?

Here are some fun things to do with friends when it's cold outside:

  • Indoor Activities:

    • Have a Movie Marathon: Cozy up with blankets, snacks, and a selection of movies. Choose a theme or let everyone pick their favorites. This is a great way to enjoy a relaxing day in with your friends. Consider different movie genres to cater to everyone's tastes. This is a perfect time to watch all of those classic films you have been meaning to watch. Consider making popcorn.
    • Game Night: Dust off those board games or video games and have a friendly competition. Card games, board games, or video games are all excellent choices. Add some friendly wagers to make things interesting. You can even make or purchase a grand prize for the winner.
    • Cooking or Baking: Get creative in the kitchen together. Try a new recipe, bake cookies, or have a themed cooking competition. Experiment with flavors and enjoy the delicious results. If you do not know what to cook, look up some recipes online to find something that everyone likes. Remember to be careful while using heat sources and hot liquids.
    • Arts and Crafts: Unleash your inner artists and create something together. Paint, draw, sculpt, knit, or try a new craft project. It's a fun way to express yourselves and bond over shared creativity. Consider gifting each other the things that you create.
  • Outdoor Activities (with proper layering and precautions!):

    • Go Ice Skating: If there's an ice rink nearby, bundle up and enjoy a fun day on the ice. Even if you're not a pro, it's a great way to laugh and have some exercise.
    • Build a Snowman or Have a Snowball Fight: Embrace the winter weather and build a snowman or have a friendly snowball fight in your backyard or a local park. Just make sure to dress warmly and be safe.
    • Winter Hike: If you're feeling adventurous, go for a winter hike in a nearby park or forest. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and fresh air. Be sure to check the weather forecast and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
    • Visit a Holiday Market: Many cities have holiday markets during the winter months. Browse the stalls, enjoy some festive treats, and soak up the holiday atmosphere.
  • Other Options:

    • Visit a Museum or Art Gallery: Explore culture and art indoors.
    • Go Bowling: Classic, fun, and indoors.
    • Attend a Concert or Show: Check out local listings for live entertainment.

Remember to prioritize safety and stay warm when venturing outdoors!

  • Safety Tip: Share all plans with people that are not with you during the activity. If any of the people participating are injured or lost, the people who are not part of the activity can help them.
