Cheesy (But Fun) Holiday Date Ideas

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Holiday cheer, time spent with family, and eating way too much food. The holidays also call for spending time with your significant other. Here are some cheesy, but fun, holiday themed ideas for your next date night!

1. Have your own mini Thanksgiving dinner.

In the spirit of eating way too much food, and already having to celebrate Thanksgiving with your family, your significant other's family, and maybe a couple others, why not add one more Thanksgiving dinner to the list? Plan a menu of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes and enjoy dinner with your special someone.


2. Go Black Friday shopping.

Everyone loves saving money. Black Friday is a great time to save money and have a night of unexpected adventures. Whether you actually buy anything or not, Black Friday shopping is a fun way to spend the day after Thanksgiving and work off some of the food you ate.

3. Bake holiday cookies and share them with friends and neighbors.

Holidays are a time for giving and what better gift is there than holiday cookies? Look up some recipes or create some of your own and spread the wealth when you're done. But be prepared, a flour fight or two may break out.

4. Go ice skating.

To some, ice skating sounds intimidating. Don't fear falling because trust me, you won't be the only one falling. It'll be fun to put yourself out there and try something outside your comfort zone! And if you fall, your boyfriend or girlfriend will be there to help you up.

5. Build a snowman.

No matter how old you are, building a snowman is a great winter activity. Make a snow family, dress them up, the whole nine yards. And don't forget to take tons of pictures to show your work off to all of your friends.

6. Go Christmas Caroling.

Other than making cookies, another great gift is caroling. Go to a local nursing home or go door to door and give the gift of holiday cheer. Even if you aren't a great singer, holiday spirit brings joy to all. Get some friends together and make it a double or triple date.

7. Go to a Festival of Lights.

One of the best parts about the holidays are all the decorations. Find a festival of lights near you and walk or drive around looking at them lighting up the sky. If you're lucky you might even find a mistletoe to stand under.

8. Go on a horse and carriage ride through the snow.

It's in all of those cheesy movies. It's lightly snowing outside and the guy in the movie asks his girlfriend to go outside and there's a horse and carriage waiting for them. Sometimes it's a first date, sometimes it's a proposal, but either way, it's adorable. Make the cheesy movie come to life and plan a horse and carriage ride and snuggle up to your significant other.

9. Watch cheesy Lifetime and Hallmark holiday movies.

Speaking of cheesy movies, the best way to spend a cold winter day is cuddled up on the couch with your significant other and a warm blanket watching a Lifetime or Hallmark movie. You'll laugh at the corny parts, cry at the overly dramatic love scenes, but all in all, you'll have a great time.

10. Drink hot chocolate by the fireplace.

After a day of adventure with your boyfriend or girlfriend, it's good to relax for the night, sit by the fireplace and make some hot chocolate. Maybe listening to some Christmas music, or just talking to each other. It's a simple date idea, but I guarantee you'll have just as much fun as if you were out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
