You can’t make it through winter without a pair of thick, fluffy socks. Brownie points if they have over-the-top holiday designs on them.

Hot cocoa is so versatile. There’s peppermint cocoa, cocoa with marshmallows, spiked cocoa (my personal favorite), etc. You can’t not love a drink with so much versatility.
5. Holiday Lights

Driving around to admire the brightly decorated homes and streets is one of my favorite things to do in winter. Something about those twinkly little lights is so magical. To find out where to go in your area, check out our annual list of the Best Neighborhoods to See Holiday Lights.

Winter fashion offers so much more variety than summer. Scarves, big coats and boots are my personal favorites to stock up on.
12. Holiday Movie Reruns
“Christmas Vacation,” “A Christmas Story” and “Love Actually” are classics that should be watched again and again.
13. Oscar Nomination Releases
Need a new list of movies to watch? Oscar nominations are always the best picks from the year, and it’s fun to watch them before the award show.
14. Egg Nog
Egg nog may not be for everyone, but it’s another wintery drink that is so versatile.
15. Snow Days
Getting days off school as a kid was so much fun. Getting snow days as an adult? Even better.
16. Handmade Cards
It’s always so nice to hear from friends and family that you don’t see all the time. And handmade cards are so personal.
17. Snowboarding and Skiing
There’s nothing like hitting the slopes and feeling the wind on your face as you fly down a mountain.
18. Cuddling
Everyone needs a good cuddle buddy when winter comes knocking.
19. Homemade Sugar Cookies
Homemade sugar cookies are as fun to decorate as they are to eat.
20. Ugly Sweater Parties
There aren’t many parties where you can wear the most heinous thing you own. Take advantage.
21. Presents
Giving and receiving presents is so much fun. Wrapping them is a craft in itself.
22. Ice Skating
I can’t promise you won’t fall, but I can promise you’ll have fun.
23. Snow Ball Fights
This is another snow activity that is definitely not just for kids.
24. Vacation
The holidays mean time off work and a chance to get away.
25. Dogs and Cats in Sweaters
Those little guys get cold too!
26. Fresh Citrus
I love picking fresh oranges from my mom’s tree and making my own juice. Add a splash of champagne for holiday brunch!
