Ideas for your Winter Bucket List

Ah winter, the season of cold (well, depends on where you live), lots of holidays, and family time. There’s so much celebrating, some of us are avoiding stressful large family gatherings (right? especially this year), and opting for a more cozy home time that’s relaxed. Technically winter doesn’t start until almost Christmas but we pretty much celebrate winter at the start of December.

If you’re looking for fun activities for winter, I got you covered! Here’s your winter season bucket list!
