Instead of dinning at a fancy restaurant, why not grab a bite at the Coventry Christmas Market?

The Christmas Market offers a range of delicious Traditional Xmas foods at cheap prices. Besides enjoying the foods, you can take beautiful pictures with your loved ones to create beautiful memories.

There are also lots of exciting markets throughout the UK including Birmingham, Edinburgh, London, Liverpool and many more!

2. Decorating gingerbread houses

Unleash your creativity by competing with your partner to make the most beautiful gingerbread house.

These are some cute designs which you can try :

3. Ice skating

Planet Ice Arena is Europe's number one for ice leisure here in Coventry. Purchasing their Ice Card Membership will gives you £2.40 off for public ice skating. Though the membership costs £19.99 per year, you will get discounts for movies, gym memberships and much more! This could be a great investment if you and your partner are ice skating lovers.

4. Movie marathon

Fancy staying in for one of your date night? Doing a movie marathon might be a great idea for you. Enjoy a selection of movies with your partner whilst cuddling inside a warm blanket.

Christmas is around the corner and most of us will be spending time with our family. If you are interested in spending a meaningful Christmas giving back to the community, some organisations have volunteering opportunities open for sign up.

Here is a list of volunteering opportunities that you and your partner might be interested in :

8. Snow ball fight

With the cold weather the best activity comes to mind... A snow ball fight. This is the best activity in my opinion as its cheap and easy to do, however you need the weather to be on your side. Perhaps a snow dance is needed! Find a quiet open space, make your snowballs and then throw them at your partner.

Make sure to remember your gloves!

An idea for the loser is they have to buy the warm drinks at the end!
