The holiday season is upon us and with that comes an abundance of all-things magical. While navigating through a mall trying to snag all the best presents can stress you out, remember that the holidays are meant to be a time to spend with family and loved ones. Sure, there are obligations that seemingly trickle into the December discourse, but there are also a lot of cool ways to reconnect with your main attraction: your significant other.
You've done the whole baking thing together, singing together, painting together, board game thing--these are dates that already have been capitalized on, right? Now, instead of getting into a rut while trying to figure out what the coolest new trendy date to try is, we've compiled a list for you. Some are a bit more racy than others, some may require you to be a bit of a daredevil and some may make you learn new tricks that you'll simply have to put to good use.
Here's a list of 10 unconventional (whatever that word really means these days) dates that can help take your relationship to a new level.
Skating trail at Arrowhead Park
If you want to step up the skating experience and get out of the city to a truly majestic environment, head to Arrowhead Provincial Park in Muskoka. Rent a Zipcar, pack in your honey love and take an adventure. The Ice Trail is one of the best kept secrets (that’s not really a secret anymore) for those wishing to embark on a 1.3 km skating trail through the Muskoka forest. Generally the trail opens the first week in January and stays open until the second week in March, but of course this is dependent on weather. Keep in mind this is a good day date as the trail closes in the evening. If you don’t have skates you can rent them there for $10, and there’s also skate sharpening for those interested. If skating isn’t your thing the provincial park also has 28km of classic ski trails, 16km of skate ski trails as well as snowshoeing trails and there is even a tubing hill. After you two are all worn out you can cuddle in one of the heating stations, which comes equipped with wood burning stoves.
