Couples Cozy
Christmas Date Night
Have Fun While Creating Connection and Intentional Time Together
'Tis the season to get warm and comfy! This fun date night encourages couples to prepare a "Christmas Eve Box" for each other, then head home for a cozy movie night. Intentional time together will foster deep connection and ensure your love stays merry and bright all year!
Kick off your night by heading to your favorite
multi-department store!
Does your family have the “Christmas Eve Box” tradition? It’s a box, bag, or basket filled with several cozy items, opened on Christmas Eve, that helps build excitement for the Christmas Holiday. Begin your date by heading to a store together to purchase things for your partner’s Christmas Eve Box. Make sure to split up so it stays a surprise! Trade gifts on Christmas Eve to make the evening even more exciting and fun!
Head back home for your movie night!
After you’ve gotten all the things for your partner’s Christmas Eve Box, settle in for a cozy movie night! Begin by choosing a movie you’ve both never seen. If you’re having trouble, check out the Pioneer Woman’s list of 100 Best Christmas Movies. Once you’ve chosen your movie, complete the bingo card below with what you think will happen throughout the movie. Use red and green M&Ms for your bingo markers and see who gets bingo first! No Bingos? No problem, you still get M&Ms! Check out the printable version of the card here. Movie snacks are a must, and we recommend something like this Santa Munch Christmas Popcorn to satisfy that need for a sweet treat while you watch!
When the movie is over, talk through how you felt about it! What were your favorite parts? Could anything have been better? These discussion questions can help lead the conversation and help you learn more about each other and grow closer together!
Keep the fun going!
Have leftover M&Ms? Don’t throw them out! Try this fun activity to use them up. Feel free to snack while you play the game!
Sweeten Up Your Pictionary Game!
Use chocolate candies to play Pictionary. Sitting at a table, take turns, 1 minute each, shaping the candies to look like various Christmas objects for your partner to guess. You can make your own Christmas-themed clues, drawn at random from a bowl, or use a site like Quizlet that will generate random Christmas words for you. Winner gets to keep all the candies!
