Writer's picture: Rachel JonesRachel Jones

The holiday season is filled with a lot of events, to-do's, and traditions. We often see couples put their relationship on a lower priority during this season because of all that happens. We want to encourage you to do the opposite this year and actually prioritize your relationship this season and embrace togetherness. The holiday season is a chance to strengthen your bond, share joy, and revel in each other's company. We've created 10 magical ideas you can implement to help keep your relationship a priority:


1. Cozy Movie Nights: Transform your living room into a cozy haven by dimming the lights, lighting scented candles, and snuggling up with a warm blanket. Make a list of your favorite Holiday movies, from classics to heartwarming romantic comedies, and enjoy a marathon of films that fill your hearts with warmth and laughter.

2. Enchanting Winter Walks: Bundle up and take leisurely strolls through your neighborhood or local parks adorned with twinkling lights and festive decorations. Walking hand in hand, you'll experience the enchantment of the season while engaging in heartfelt conversations.

3. DIY Decorations: Embrace your creative sides by crafting personalized ornaments, wreaths, or decorations for your home. This activity not only allows you to bond over shared creativity but also adds a personal touch to your holiday décor.

4. Baking Extravaganza: Spend a day in the kitchen whipping up delicious treats like gingerbread cookies, eggnog, and candy canes. Baking together can be surprisingly romantic, creating memories that are as sweet as the treats you make.

5. Caroling Under the Stars: Spread holiday cheer by singing Christmas carols together. Whether it's serenading your neighbors or participating in a local caroling event, sharing your voices in harmony can be a heartwarming experience.

6. Gift-Wrapping Party: Turn the sometimes mundane task of gift wrapping into a fun and creative activity. Set up a gift-wrapping station with colorful papers, ribbons, and tags, and enjoy wrapping presents for each other while sharing stories and laughter.

7. Volunteer Together: Give back to your community by volunteering at a local charity or participating in holiday initiatives. Sharing the experience of helping others can deepen your connection and remind you of the true spirit of the season.

8. Plan a Romantic Getaway: If the holiday hustle and bustle becomes overwhelming, consider escaping on a romantic getaway. Whether it's a cabin in the mountains or a cozy inn by the sea, a change of scenery can do wonders for rekindling your romance.

9. Game Night by the Fire: Gather by the fireplace (real or tv version welcome) and engage in friendly competition with board games, card games, or puzzles. This is a perfect opportunity to let your playful sides shine and create cherished memories.

10. Write Love Letters: In the age of digital communication, there's something undeniably romantic about handwritten love letters. Take time to express your feelings for each other on paper and exchange these heartfelt letters on Christmas morning.


The Holiday season is more than just a holiday; it's a chance to connect, create, and cherish moments with the one you love. These 10 ideas offer a mix of cozy traditions, creative endeavors, and heartfelt gestures that can make this season truly magical for both of you. Remember, it's not about the extravagance of the activities, but the depth of the connection you share that truly defines the holiday spirit.
