Hold hands as you glide along the ice and take in the panoramic views of your city. When you need a break, hit the bar for warm cocktails to keep you cozy and make this romantic experience one of a kind.
Weekend Winter Getaway
You know you need a weekend getaway. You deserve a break before the holidays. Your significant other could also use a break. Why not a holiday luxury date away from the hustle and bustle?
When a night out’s not enough, book a dreamy cabin and treat yourselves to an intimate mountain getaway! From skiing to walking around a charming town or spending the whole day in the hot tub – the options are endless!
Snowmobile Ride in the Slopes
Looking for a real winter thrill? Get out of the city and chase the backcountry powder with a snowmobile ride! It’s the best way to play in good company, away from the city and the distractions of everyday life.
But be warned: this isn’t your typical resort hangout. This date idea is for those daredevils who want to turn the slopes into their playground.

Holiday Couples Spa
The holiday season can get pretty stressful. Why not pamper yourselves with a couples spa day? Before you spend hours around the table with relatives you haven’t seen all year, make time for some well-deserved R & R.
This one’s especially nice if your skin gets dry in the wintertime. Plus, the spa is always more fun when you get side-by-side massages and sip on champagne. Hydrotherapy while it snows outside? Yes, please!
Shop ‘Til You Drop
This luxury holiday date idea is a classic that never fails. Especially during the holiday season, with so many great offers and gifts to buy for everyone on your list.
