This is the ULTIMATE Winter Bucket List for the most festive, cozy, and fun Winter ever!
the coziest, most festive + fun
winter bucket list
I'm a December baby, and if you are too, you know the pain of trying to plan events in the winter. Coming up with fun things to do when it's cold outside can be a little tricky - but over the last 22 years, I've learned to get pretty creative.
There are actually TONS of fun things to do in the winter, and what used to be the bane of existence has become my favourite time of year. This winter bucket list has been plucked, pruned, and carefully cultivated to become what I consider a master list of the best things to do in the winter.
If you like Christmas, spending time with people you love, getting cozy, and having adventures - this winter bucket list is for you.
ADDITIONALLY - this could totally be used as a winter bucket list for couples , winter bucket list for boyfriend, etc. - so if I were you, I'd snag a cutie notebook, write out your bucket list, and take a polaroid picture of each one. You can put the pictures in next to the winter bucket list items, and at the end of the season, you'll have an unbelievably adorable keepsake.
You can even do this as a surprise for your boyfriend or girlfriend and make it a Christmas present. (As I'm typing this, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do this for my boyfriend this year because how cute)

And there you have it... the ultimate Winter Bucket List! I am so excited to do ALL of these fun things this winter! But I wanna know.. what's on your winter bucket list?
If I had to choose, I think I'm MOST excited for all the Fall & Winter outfits coming my way this year (peep the Insta or LiketoKnow.it for details), but also anything Christmas. There's just something about this season that gets me so dang excited, I can't even handle it.
I swear to you, I've never written a blog post that gets me as excited as my winter bucket list. I update it every year with any new ideas, changes, and improve any blog post SEO/details with new tips I've learned. Every time I come back to work on the winter bucket list, I get so DANG excited for this season!! It's so funny because as a child, I hated it - but here I am, and I can't get enough.
I will say too - I grew up in a cold climate, and moved to Vancouver a few years ago, and I would happily trade the rain we get here for the snow I grew up with. Winter bucket list isn't the same without snow to set the tone.
