CRUSHES

From gift exchanges to volunteering, it feels so good to be able to bask in all the holly jolly of the season. But there's nothing that indulges the time of giving and love better than spending time with the *person* you love.

That's why this weekend, we've got you scheduled for a jam-packed day of decorating, baking, ice skating and holiday movie-watching with your bae. Invite 'em over for this all-day, super fun date. With activities like these, we're certain you'll be singing fa-la-la from sunrise to sundown.

Decorate and jam to you favorite tunes 

Decking the halls is seriously a blast, and collaborating on a creative project with your cutie will bring you two closer together. Make a playlist both of you will love, light a yummy holiday candle and get to work hanging garland, stringing lights and cutting out paper snowflakes. (Or, you can check out some of the best holiday DIYs here and here.)

Bake some cookies

No holiday hang sesh is complete without cookies. They're fun to make and you can eat 'em *right* after you decorate. Some of the best bonding happens in the kitchen, too, so go all out and make these from scratch with your sweetie. Either way, you've got yummy, warm cookies.

Go ice skating

After all that decorating and baking, get out of the house and head to the rink. Not only is it a great way to get active with the one you care about the most, you'll both be doubled-over with laughter watching one another slip and slide all over the ice. Amazing memories? Check!

Cuddle up with a movie

Finish off the night with a classic holiday movie like A Christmas Story. Sidle up to bae on the couch, light a fire and munch on some of the cookies you baked earlier that day. Add hot cocoa and you've got yourself one heck of an evening.
