How To Plan The Most Romantic Winter Picnic

You may be getting tired of the icy winter breeze but, why not try to embrace it by enduring nature. These winter days may be long, cold, and dark, but no one can stop you from making your relationship sizzle even in stinging temperatures. If you are deeply, madly, and truly in love with your partner then make this season magical and exciting.

Usually, winter is the time to celebrate with family and friends, whether it be Christmas, New Years or a simple get together. But when it comes to creating a romantic tryst between you and your special someone, winter has to be sparkling, rather than being a fun-spoiler. If you are planning an outing, a white blanket of shimmering snow beneath a blue sky will definitely light up your romantic flame.

Here are some cool tips to plan a romantic winter picnic spree:

Prepare a cool picnic gift basket

Spruce up your picnic mood by assembling a picnic basket for a romantic meal under the sky. The basket should contain all the stuff that can lighten your spirit in the cold weather. Like a fluffy blanket, and hot chocolate. Enrich your gift basket with every awesome amenity. If you can’t decide what items or commodities you should include in your package, you can choose from varieties of baskets on the market. It’s easy to find one  according to your needs and budget. As a starting point, a typical basket includes things like cutlery, plates, drinking glasses, small utensils, dry fruits, eateries, candles, etc.

Go on a memorable afternoon picnic

Winter is best for going on a romantic afternoon getaway with your sweetheart. Make plans and take a day off work when your partner is available. Choose a perfect location, pack everything into the basket and get ready to spend quality time with the love of your life. When it comes to a suitable location, find a place where you and your partner  can relax and enjoy each other’s company without any distractions. For example, a scenic, secluded mountain could be a place where you can reflect on your love with each other.

Cook something awesome

Going on a picnic without food simply isn’t a picnic! For a romantic picnic meal, avoid overly heavy foods and keep it classy. Popular dishes like sandwiches, fresh salads, strawberries, avocados, or Mediterranean foods are great options. Avoid onions and garlic because the smelly breath could kill off your romance. For a memorable romantic winter picnic, choose foods that are portable and don’t make a mess. You can also include foods like nuts, olives, cured meats, and gourmet cheese. These easy snacks can be purchased from any store. Bring along a wooden platter so that you can use your creativity to serve the foods the way you like. Tip: Use cutters for freshly baked cookies to create heart shapes out of them.

Champagne for every occasion

Nothing can elevate your romantic winter picnic better than a perfect drink. It’s time to celebrate your love with sparkling champagne. Rose and white wines are also good choices. For an extra special touch, this is also a perfect occasion to create custom champagne labels for a memorable winter date with your partner. The sip of champagne will add that moment of luxury and a feeling of warmth rising from within. To top it all, when champagne is paired with a glorious cheese plate, or just some strawberries and chocolate, it will turn a casual rendezvous into an impeccable event.

It’s time for picnic sports

Your romantic winter getaway is incomplete without activities and games. Since romantic picnics are all about spending quality time together, it’s time to indulge in your favorite activities. Has there been a hiking trail that’s been on your list that you have yet to try? Or how about winter-themed activities? There are some great things to take part in like ice skating or sledding. If you’ve always wanted to have a snow fight, now is the time. Just head outside to have an old-fashioned snowball fight. You can also have a bonfire!

Winter has its own way of creating a romantic environment. From harsh conditions to sweet sunshine, the season has everything. All you need to do is plan a memorable get together with your partner that you’ll both cherish forever.
