The holiday season can be stressful! So, sometimes it's nice to destress and spend some quality time with your partner doing something fun. Whether you're staying in or going out, just to spend some time together can help to shake off some of that stress this time of year.
So, we've made a list of some date ideas for this special time of the year and put together potential outfits for our ladies to wear on these dates! Make plans or be spontaneous but spend some time together and have fun!
Ice-Skating
One of the most classic and fun winter activities for couples is ice skating! It seems like every Christmas movie features ice-skating at some point. Whether you're a master of the rink or barely able to stand up straight, it'll be a fun date! You can bond over how clumsy you both may be and help each other up when you fall and have a good laugh. Dare each other to try classic ice-skating moves like a turn or a jump. Seriously, is there anything cuter than gliding on the ice rink hand in hand? When you're all skated-out, you can head to a local cafe or home for some nice hot chocolate!
An outfit for this date can but casual, but still cute! Some skinny jeans and a cute sweater list this fit would be perfect! The booties just pull the whole outfit together!

Gingerbread Houses
It’s that time of year when you can get away with fun activities like making a gingerbread house together! Building a gingerbread house is a classic winter staple. You can make the cookies from scratch, but we won't judge if you use a store-bought kit with pre-made gingerbread. The important part is construction—make your house a home with frosted window dressings and candy decorations for the yard. If it happens to turn into a frosting fight… so be it! You both might be a bit of a sugar high from eating all that candy, but no doubt you’ll finish with a masterpiece to put on display for all to see.
Spending a date building gingerbread houses is a cozy, at-home activity for the two of you. So, something comfy is exactly what you should wear. It can definitely be cute too though, since you'll be taking pictures of your little houses when you're done! This 3-piece fit is the perfect thing to wear, it's comfortable and cute!
Christmas Festival
If you're lucky enough to live in somewhere that holds Christmas festivals, you might be treated to incredible sights and activities. Festivals are events where you celebrate together, so use that for both of you to feel the joy and celebration. Check out the booths, try some food and treats, and have fun! Moments like these are ones you never forget.

Christmas shopping is a simple outing that you can dress casual for. This fringy gray sweater and matching Hey Dudes is the perfect look for shopping! Throw on some distressed jeans with it and you are ready to take on those Christmas lists! And don't forget your favorite clutch purse!
Christmas Lights
