Fall is here, and the cold weather is approaching. With love in the air, many couples often struggle with what fun and festive dates they can go on. During this season, there are plenty of fun, easy, relaxing, and cute dates you and your partner can go on. Here, you will learn about the top 5 dates you can go on this holiday season.
With fall right around the corner, there are plenty of cute fall dates you and your partner can do. To start, going to a local pumpkin patch and doing all the festivities like apple bobbing, and taking pictures would be an amazing fun date to go on. While you’re there, it would be an amazing choice for you and your partner to both pick out a pumpkin and have a pumpkin carving competition after the pumpkin patch. This is an amazing way for you and your partner to spend quality time together, while still having a festive date to get into the fall spirit. Caden Johnson (12) tells us that, “I recently went to the pumpkin patch on a date and had an amazing time. At the pumpkin patch I went to, they also had goats and other small animals, so it was really cool to see that, and overall I would recommend people to do this, at least one time for the experience”.
To continue, an amazing date idea that is low-cost would be having a pizza-making night. To make it festive, make Thanksgiving figures or characters, but if you and your partner enjoy Christmas more, make Christmas figures. Although Christmas is technically a winter holiday, who doesn’t love to celebrate Christmas in the fall? All this requires is a quick trip to your local grocery store, where either you and your partner can buy premade pizza dough, or if you are feeling up to the challenge, buy the ingredients required to make your very own homemade pizza dough. Then, of course, you will need tomato sauce and cheese, and the most fun part–toppings. Toppings are unlimited, and you can go as crazy or as simple on your pizza as you would like. This is a fantastic, low-cost, but delicious date night.
Up next, another tasty idea would be making candy/caramel apples (Alyssa Ponticello). I mean, who doesn’t love caramel apples? The range for this delicious treat is wide because again, it is up to you how simple or complex you want to make your candied apples. There is a variety of different toppings or even layers to an amazing-tasting apple. To make it even more festive, it would be a great idea to add faces or decorations that correlate to fall in general or Thanksgiving. This is again a budget-friendly date due to the fact that all you need is some apples, caramel or chocolate, sticks, and a few toppings of your preference.
Now, if you are looking for something that you and your partner can go out and do, an amazing idea would be for you and your partner to take a pottery class where you can learn how to make things like mugs or plates (ClassPop). However, for more similar people who still love art but do not want to make it, places like Color Me Mine offer a large selection of pre-made ceramic pieces that you and your partner can design and paint together. Both of these ideas are extremely fun and unique due to the fact that you get to create your piece however you would like and make it personalized to you or your partner’s tastes and preferences. Depending on the season, places like Color Me Mine will have a selection of fall/festive pieces like pumpkins, leaves, coffee, etc. But regardless of whether you like those items or not, painting allows the artist within us to create whatever mural they would like, which is why this is such a unique date to do.
Lastly, for the people who just love to binge-watch movies, a fall movie marathon is the ideal date for that couple. There are plenty of movies that are based on fall festivities, and every year, there is a recurring theme–everyone rewatches the same movies over and over again. This is why a movie marathon would be a perfect date. Gilmore Girls seems to be a fan favorite among many, and although this is a show, you and your partner can make it into a show marathon where you both will binge-watch all the seasons and episodes together one night. A Gilmore Girls fan, Delaney Bojorquez (12), tells us, “I absolutely love this show, and I love watching it during fall specifically because it gets me excited for the season, so I think this would be an awesome idea to do, and I will try it with my boyfriend for a stay-in date night.”
In conclusion, there are plenty of festive fall dates to do this holiday season, and I hope my top 5 ideas could give you and your partner some inspo when you become stuck on what your next date night should be!
