A-Z festive dating

A while ago I posted about A-Z Dating which essentially means you pick a letter from the alphabet and then come up with an activity to do on your date that starts with that letter. (If you want to find out more about it I’d recommend reading my first post.) It’s well known that winter is the most magical time of the year and also a great opportunity for some cute dates with your loved one.

Here are my ideas for some festive dates you can go on for each letter:

A – chose an angel for the tree or an advent calendar

B – board games

C – carolling (either yourself or go to a show)

D – decorating the tree

E – elf on a shelf (hide and seek)

F – festive film marathon

G – gingerbread house making

H – hot drinks at a nice cafe

I – ice skating

J – joke presents (give each other a budget and 10mins in poundland to buy each other presents)

K – (Christmas) song karaoke

L – (Christmas) light switch on

M – (Christmas) markets

N – nativity play

O – make ornaments to hang on your tree

P – pantomime

Q – go to a pub Christmas quiz

R – reindeer farm

S – skiing (mountain or dry slope)

T – make a turkey dinner for 2 or go to a pub lunch

U – ugly sweater party or who can make/find the ugliest sweater

V – watch back videos of your childhood christmas memories

W – winter wonderland or present wrapping

X – eXchange gifts

Y – decorate (and eat) a yule log

Z – make a sign to count down the zzz till christmas (this one was really difficult!) or get each other presents beginning with z

I would love to hear about any fun festive dates you and your partner get up to! If you have any other ideas be sure to leave them below for others to read

A-Z Dating

It’s a Sunday afternoon and you and your partner find yourself sat on the sofa trying to come up with something to do. Not that binge-watching Netflix isn’t fun but seeing as you haven’t left the house all weekend you fancy a change. But what do you do?

A few months back my boyfriend and I came across A-Z dating and we have loved it ever since. Essentially what it is is you pick a letter and then come up with an activity to do on your date that starts with that letter. You can either just do 1 activity based around each letter or try and make a whole day/weekend out of it by only going to places/eating foods that start with that letter.

This is such a great way to try something new on your dates and create some really special memories. The dates can be free or expensive, inside or outside, local to you or in a completely different country all that matters is that it starts with the letter you have chosen. The other choice for you to make is whether you want to just work through the letters alphabetically or pick a random letter out of a hat each time. Here are a few ideas of things you can do for each letter…

A – aquarium, arcade, go on an aeroplane, american diner

B – beach, baking, bowling, board games

C – cinema, card games, camping, cooking

D – disneyworld, dancing, driving range, double date

E – holiday to europe, exploring, eating, escape room

F – football, farm, build a fort, festivals

G – go karting, go green for the day, ghost walk, gallery

H – stay in a hotel, horse riding, harry potter world, happy hour

I – ice skating, indian food, make ice cream, Ikea

J – jigsaw, jacuzzi, jurassic park binge, start a journal

K – karaoke, KFC, fly a kite, kickboxing

L – learn something new, live music, lazy day, lunch

M – movie night, monopoly, museum, massage

N – night in, day out in nature, netball, go nude for the day (why not)

O – ocean, obstacle course, outdoor cinema, opera

P – pool, pizza, pitch n putt, painting

Q – quiz, a quest, visit the queen?

R – restaurant, rollercoasters, riverboat, roller skating

S – spa, skydiving, shopping, swimming pool

T – theatre, trampolining, tattoo, treasure hunt

U – underground, underwear shopping (cheeky), unwind, umbrella walks in the rain

V – volunteer, video games, vendors, vineyard

W – workout, walking, waterpark, wall climbing

X – x-box, xylophone lessons, eXhibitions (I’m struggling here!)

Y – yoga, have to say yes, yodelling, youtube binge

Z – zoo, zip wire, zombie day, catch some zzzz
