Paint with Watercolors
Watercolors are a cost-effective option if you’ve been considering taking up art. For example, a 16-pan watercolor set from Prang is less than $20 on Amazon. It’s never too late to pick up a new hobby.
Make Warm Winter Wassail
Wassail is a traditional Christmas drink that goes all the way back to the Medieval times. It’s a hot mulled cider that can be made with or without alcohol (totally up to you!). Enjoy the flavors of apple, cranberry, cinnamon, clove, and allspice. Garnish with an orange slice and you have a drink that is both beautiful and comforting.

Take a Hot Bath
Cure the chill in your bones with a warm bath! For extra relaxation, add bath salts, oils, bubbles, or throw in a bath bomb. Don’t forget to light some candles!
Enjoy a Warm Fire
There’s truly nothing better than a warm fire in the winter. If you don’t have a fireplace or a backyard fire pit, feel free to turn on a TV fireplace! Even if it can’t emit heat, it still adds to the cozy ambience of the room.

Read a Cozy Book
Cuddle up with a book that has a wintery setting and transport yourself to another time and place! Whether it’s a cozy mystery, a historical fiction, or a classic—the options are endless.
Break out the Board Games
There’s no better time than NOW to bring out the board games that have sat neglected in a cupboard or closet. It may seem cliché, but board games are a great way to have a fun night with the household.
Catch up on Rest
Let’s face it—The Holidays are EXHAUSTING (especially this year). You deserve a long winter’s nap! Cuddle up in freshly washed sheets and allow yourself to check out for a few hours. Unplug from social media, turn your phone on silent, and get some sleep!
