The holidays are the perfect time for romance and there are ample opportunities for seasonal dates. When you are going out with someone new, you want to come up with a fun date that will ensure both of you having a great time while getting to know each other. Need some help? Here are some of our favorite Holiday Date Ideas in the San Francisco area!
Ice Skating at Yerba Buena - The chances of both of you looking like Johnny Weir on the ice is pretty slim, but that is what makes Ice Skating fun! Laughing at yourself (and maybe your date) will lighten the mood and allow you to be yourself. Yerba Buena even has different events, such as Public Skating, Adults Only Skating, or the Adults Only Coffee Club.
Volunteer at the SF Food Bank - From their website: "When you volunteer at the Food Bank, you'll help sort and package the food we distribute to food pantries, children's snack programs and soup kitchens throughout San Francisco and Marin — enough for more than 100,000 meals each day." The great feeling that you will get by helping others around the Holidays is sure to bring you and your date closer.
Take a Thanksgiving Cooking Class together - This hands-on class will teach you the techniques that you will need to make the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. Bonus: After you learn to cook together, you can invite them over to make it at home!
Get some hot chocolate and go for a walk at Ocean Beach - What could be more romantic than bundling up and drinking hot chocolate on the beach? This is a great date idea if you really want to be able to talk and connect!
Attend the Tel-HI's Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner together - This event has been a neighborhood tradition for more than 25 years! Have Thanksgiving Dinner and mingle with other people in the community. You could even take a friend and meet people there! And the best part? It's free!
Dress up as a Pilgrim or Indian and walk/run the Turkey Trail Trot X - I don't have to explain why this is a great idea; Dressing up as a Pilgrim or an Indian or even a Turkey is a blast! Kick off a great Thanksgiving with a fun run or walk in the park before the parades, football games, and feasting commence!
Volunteer to cook/serve Thanksgiving dinner - Serve with SF City Impact this holiday season at the Thanksgiving Day Block Party Event! There are many jobs available, such as Kitchen, Delivering or Preparing Meals, or Cleaning up.
After Thanksgiving Day Shopping - This date idea may be more fun for the ladies, but with the amazing deals on Black Friday you can have a full day of shopping at all of your favorite stores!
Get some Ghirardelli hot chocolate and watch the Tree Lighting at Union Square - Watching the Tree Lighting is a very romantic tradition. This year's beautiful 80-foot Fir tree will be covered in 21,000 energy-efficient twinkling LED lights.
Go watch the NFL games at a nice pub - Put on your NFL gear, grab some beers and cheer for your team! According to 10Best.com, Kezar Pub, Union Square Sports Bar, and Bus Stop are great options!
