Winter can be gray and depressing. Instead of laying around wishing for warmer weather, get up and cross off your winter bucket list! Here’s a list of 40 winter-themed activities to get you off the couch and having fun this winter.
Winter can really bring some people down.
The shorter days send the sun behind the mountains quicker than we would like.
Freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and blustery winds are not exactly everyone’s idea of perfect weather.
Trees stand bare and the color has drained out of the fields.
Sounds depressing, doesn’t it?
Winter doesn’t have to be depressing and bring you down! I’ve put together a list of 40 winter themed activities to get you off the couch and having fun.

Winter will fly by if you do all these fun things! Great list!
Jenna
Thank you so much!!
This is an interesting list. I would love to go skiing⛷️ but I'm scared of breaking my bones?
Thank you!! Me, too, so I'll stick with sledding or tubing. ?
???
I want to learn something new this year. I’m interested in watercolor painting but have zero talent for that. Thank you for the great list!
I like to watch videos on YouTube to help me learn something new. You should go for it!
YouTube is my best friend some days! Always enjoy learning something new.
I’m always living in summer but a pajama day sounds really gooooood ??
Well you should have a pajama day and binge watch your favorite show this weekend! :D
I would love to but already the weekend is super busy..,I hope one day I’ll be able to go it though ?
Smiles. Not in a place experiencing winter but they all sound cool and fun!. Love the giving (donations and volunteering) part and game night out too. ?
Thank you! Giving back and game night could be done any time of the year, too. :D
You are welcome. ❤
Yes absolutely. ?
☺?
Great list. Those snow ones though. Virginia isn't great about consistency. LOL And then the bucket list becomes running to the grocery store for milk and bread... ??????
Right? Where did winter go and why is it supposed to be almost 70 this weekend? Oh the wonderful milk and bread store runs at the sight of the 1st snow flake! ???
Lots of great ideas!
Thank you so much!
I love you Michelle. You really are the best ? Thank you for including me on this great list. What a wonderful surprise to this day! In all sincerity, you don't realize the positive impact you have on others. The last 6 months or so here have been brutal more often than not and your encouragement has kept me going quite a few times on tough days! Thank you for being who you are! ❤
You've included some of my most favorite activities here on this list. Love it! Pajama days are amazing, aren't they? When hubby and I both leave the lounge wear on for the whole day - it just feels cozier and relaxing. I think we all need that refreshment from the chaos of life sometimes!
Volunteering, taking a nature walk (the absolute best, as we both agree!), game night - these are guaranteed to bring joy to the drab. You never cease to brighten the day.
Sending loads of love your way Michelle with hopes and prayers that you & your family are well this day. Happy New Year my friend. Praying 2020 eases the burdens of our hearts and brings answers to prayers! ? All My Best, Holly
Can't find a "like" button here, so I'll just say "Amen!" I'm sure you made Michelle's day.
Aww. Bless your heart! That was so very kind of you. I hope it does make her day. We all need someone to come along and brighten our lives and days, don't we? :) I pray you are well too. I pray the same prayer for you and yours in 2020! ❤
Thank you, Holly! Blessings your way, too. <3 - Annie
Awww Holly, I'm sorry you've had some not so great times over the past few months. Please know that I'm here for you and you can email me any time! Thank you for such kind words. You've really touched my heart and made my day!
I agree with pajama day! Those days are the best! Just laying around and doing nothing, although that doesn't happen often around here any more.
Wishing you a very wonderful 2020! Sending love and prayers your way! Love you back!! ❤️❤️
These are all awesome! I sure would love to learn how to ski! ?
Thank you! I would love to learn, too, but I'm scared of falling. :D
Me too!
Great list to keep busy this winter, Michelle!! Hubby and I plan to learn a new language!! Kind of excited about it too!! Happy Friday!
Thank you so much! That's exciting!! That's also a great way to bond. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
