As we inch closer to Christmas Eve every day quickly becomes full of holiday parties, family gatherings and work celebrations. As fun as spending time out on the town can be after several full days I need to take a break and relax at home. Sitting down to enjoy a movie as a couple is a great way to reconnect no matter how busy the rest of the week has been.
My favorite date nights ideas include treats from Hickory Farms and this stay-in celebration is the perfect occasion for enjoying some of their seasonal favorites. I’ve put together a few tips on how couples can enjoy a low key night at home during the holiday season.
Celebrate your favorite Holiday Movies
Set aside some time to talk about what your favorite holiday movies are, you might be surprised how different your answers are. I was shocked to learn that Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie (and I still kinda disagree).
Embrace downtime
It’s hard to not fill your evenings up, especially when there are household chores or a growing holiday to do list running in the back of your mind. Put away your phones, turn up the lights on the Christmas Tree and focus on being together enjoying each other’s company.
Enjoy holiday treats
I recommend selecting a treat based on the movie you plan to watch and Hickory Farms has an assortment of options ready to create the perfect ambiance for your evening.
Rudolph:
Hot Cocoa and White & Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark
This combination is the perfect way to remember how much fun Christmas was as a kid and recreate those warm fuzzy memories as an adult.
The Grinch:
Peanut Brittle Popcorn and Fat Tire Beer
This sweet and savory combination is guaranteed to make your heart grow three sizes in one night.
Die Hard:
Beef Summer Sausage and Jalapeno & Cheddar Cheese
The ultimate guy’s holiday movie requires an ultimate guy’s snack.
What other tips do you have for enjoying a low-key night at home during the holiday season? Are there any other pairings you would add to this list?
