2Take a walk (or drive) and look at the lights

If you live in a neighborhood where most homes are decked out in lights and other Christmas decorations, take a walk with your partner, making sure to bundle up if it’s cold. You can also go to a neighborhood with colorful decorations (hint: suburban homes tend to be very colorful) and walk around, or wear your pajamas and drive instead of walking, whichever makes you happy and cheesy. Some cities even have more formal Christmas light shows, so be sure to research local events. Whatever you do, don’t forget to bring a thermos filled with hot chocolate.

3. Playing in the snow

If you live in a snowy place, plan a snow date. You could: Channel your inner child by making a snowman/woman or snow angels, have a good old-fashioned snowball fight, or go sledding. The adrenaline rush of sliding down the hill in the crisp, cold air is sure to increase the chemistry between you and your partner. Whatever you do, remember that the goal is to embrace your playful side, engage in some harmless mischief, and nurture your sense of wonder.

4. Attend a holiday concert

Christmas concerts are a common occurrence (thankfully!), so there’s no good reason not to plan several date nights to attend these charming soirees (or matinees). They’re a great excuse to a) dress up in your best/sexiest/most festive outfit (ideally all three), and b) spend some time away from your house or apartment while soaking up the holiday spirit. Whether it’s your local high school’s annual Christmas concert, your town’s gospel choir, or a special all-drum Kwanzaa performance at the local community center, enjoy being a part of something bigger—with your significant other by your side.

5. Go sing Christmas carols

Even though Christmas carols are slowly falling out of favor, you can still honor this time-honored tradition: Consider Go Caroling Day (December 20) your call to service. Whether Christmas is your holiday of choice or not, singing Christmas carols can be a truly exhilarating experience, especially if you and your sweetheart are musically inclined (and no one says you can’t substitute Christmas carols for other tunes). It’s even better if you invite friends along. While you can always go door-to-door serenading residents in a given neighborhood, hospitals and nursing homes are also great places to share the gift of song. Singing Christmas carols with your baby promises to be a meaningful and inspiring experience that fosters romance and intimacy.

6. Go see a ballet… or have a movie night

If you’ve never seen The Nutcracker and you enjoy ballet, consider buying a few tickets and taking your sweetheart out on the town. If it’s freezing and you’d rather never go out again, there’s no shortage of Christmas movies to choose from, romantic or otherwise. Ask your partner to pick their favorite Christmas movie and you can choose yours. If you’re feeling fancy, have a two-part movie marathon. Bonus: kiss At the movies, it can be more relaxing when there is no one else in the room.

7. Do a holiday photoshoot

First of all, there is never a too old time to get your picture taken with Santa. If that’s your thing, head to the mall to get a shot with the big guy. He might even let you both sit on his lap at the same time. You could also consider hiring a professional photographer to do a seasonal photoshoot at your home, in your backyard, or at a local ski hill. Goof around and enjoy being big kids together! And if you’d rather stay on the adult side, you can put on your version of sexy holiday lingerie/outfit (both of you, if you’re up for it!) and have a DIY Boudoir Photoshoot— the sexy holiday edition. You could take turns posing and take pictures, or set a timer and step into the frame together. Is it warm in here even though it’s cold outside?

8. Cooking or baking

They say the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, and that may very well be true, especially during the holidays. Maybe you’re in the mood to surprise your partner with a homemade meal (or dessert) by candlelight. Prepare it with love and you can’t go wrong. Of course, making beautiful food together can also be sensual and fun. At its best, cooking can be messy, competitive, and downright hilarious. Whether you’re working together to create a gingerbread house or you compete with different savory dishes, it’s up to you – just remember to lick the chocolate (or marinade) off your date’s lip before kissing.

9. Rent a cabin for the weekend

It’s the ultimate romantic getaway: far from the pressures of shopping, packing, family dinners and the like, the holiday chalet is reserved for those who are ready and willing to spend quality time with their partner. It’s best to book a spot in a snowy location, where you can sit by an open fire or sip champagne in a hot tub, but any natural setting will do as long as you’re in good (nay, great) company.

We wish you to fully experience the romance and sensuality of the end-of-year celebrations with a person worthy of your talent. Happy holidays to all! <3
