In continuation of our His & Hers date night series (see last date night post here), we’ve created a mix of ideas that are both tried & true traditions and some ‘first timers’ we are excited to try. The holiday season never seems to last long enough. We are often so busy with family events it’s easy to forget to make time for a date night with your significant other. Below are a few Holiday date night ideas:
1. Enjoy the Christmas Lights: We love taking detours while driving home at night to see everyone’s Christmas lights but downtown during December takes the cake. Find the best display of Christmas lights near you and bundle up for a romantic evening. For an extra dose of fun, play along with a Christmas Lights Scavenger hunt – you can find some online or design your own to be as challenging as you want.
2. Ice Skating: No matter your skill level, ice skating is a perfect date idea for both new or established couples. Either way, a few slips here and there are a great excuse for holding on extra tight to your date.
3. Midnight Snowshoeing: A quiet night snowshoeing can create some romantic and incredibly memorable moments.Plus the stars seem to be spectacularly bright during the winter, especially against a fresh snowfall.
4. Festive Productions: If you don’t already have a few festive productions on your list to attend, consider adding one. There is no better way to test your date’s patience than having him sit through the Nutcracker if he doesn’t enjoy ballet, but if you are feeling particularly generous you might consider a local production of The Christmas Carol.
5. Painting: Embrace your artistic side on a fresh canvas of snow. Grab some spray paint or make your own by mixing food coloring and water in a spray bottle.
6. Hot Springs: Midnight hot springs are another great way to catch incredible views without many crowds. If you have some within a reasonable distance, pack some suits (or don’t!) and make a night of it.

I’m curious, who is the photographer behind these more personal (after dark) shots? I can appreciate the art direction and full story your photos always tell enough to believe it’s not just a stranger! Some posts I’ve noticed photog credits for but not all. Just wondering if they double as your assistant and if it is regularly the same person. A behind the scenes post could be a great peek!
I don’t have a serious blog of my own yet, but am an aspiring art director with photography/set styling professional experience.
