Your guide to all things holly jolly
There's something truly magical about the Christmas season. The twinkling lights, the crisp winter air, the joyous music - it's the perfect time to snuggle up with your loved one and enjoy all that the season has to offer.
Here are some of the best things to do around Christmas time
Go ice skating
There's nothing quite like holding hands and gliding across the ice together. Many cities have outdoor rinks where you can enjoy the winter wonderland while getting some exercise. Bonus points if you can do cool tricks lol. Our photos here are taken at Olympic Plaza in Calgary, Alberta.
Attend a Christmas market
Many cities have outdoor markets where you can browse local crafts, sip on some hot cocoa, and maybe even catch a live music performance. It's a great way to get into the holiday spirit and support small businesses. Calgary has their own Christmas Market at Spruce Grove, however these were taken at the Vancouver Christmas Market.
Take a winter hike
Embrace the colder weather and hit the trails for a scenic winter hike. Bundle up and enjoy the beautiful views of snow-capped mountains or frozen lakes. It's a great way to spend quality time together and appreciate the natural beauty of the season.
Make a special meal
There's something special about cooking together, especially during the holidays. Try a new recipe or make a classic dish that has sentimental value. You can even turn it into a fun date night by setting the table with candles and holiday decorations.
Gold utensils that are sure to stir up conversation and save the planet.
Sustainable AND cute, do I need to say more?

Watch a Christmas movie
Cuddle up on the couch with a cozy blanket and enjoy a classic holiday movie. Whether it's a heartwarming romance or a silly comedy, it's the perfect way to relax and spend time together.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, the most important thing is spending quality time with your loved ones. May your holiday season be filled with love, laughter, and lots of festive cheer :)
Happy Holidays!
Love,
Simran
