Snowed In? Indoor Activities to Help You Avoid Cabin Fever
Snow day leaving you with winter blues and nothing to do? Sure, the fresh powder looks beautiful, but it also means going anywhere is probably out of the question! But you don’t have to let a little snow ruin your day. Maximize your snow day and help ward off cabin fever with these fun indoor activities for winter!
The 5 Best Things to Do When Snowed In
1. Cook or bake: use whatever you have in your home.
If you’re going to spend your winter day as a homebody, you might as well have something yummy to eat! Make your favorite soup (mmm, toasty!), baked dessert (nothing cozies up a space like the smell of freshly baked goodies), or branch out and try a new recipe. If you don’t have tons of groceries or specialty supplies on hand, check out SuperCook to find recipes that work with what you already have. Or, use something you have in plentiful supply — snow! — to make snow cream.
2. Treat yourself to a spa day.
You can’t go anywhere, so you might as well indulge in some relaxing activities to do indoors in the winter. Make a DIY face mask using honey, yogurt, or even oats. Paint your nails, but take it up a notch with a homemade sugar scrub for your dry winter skin (let’s be real, we all have it). Treat yourself to a day of pampering from the comfort of home. You deserve it!
3. Make a dent in a book.
If you’re not up for creative activities to do while you’re stuck at home, opt for something easy. Pour yourself a glass of wine, grab a fluffy throw blanket, and curl up with a good book. Let yourself get lost in a storyline or nod off for a nap. We won’t judge you for a winter midday snooze!
4. Channel your inner child with puzzles and games.
When you think about fun indoor activities in winter, don’t forget about old-fashioned fun! Jigsaw puzzles are a relaxing indoor activity for an enjoyable day of solitude. Have roommates or friends who live close by? Grab a deck of cards or bust out a few board games and make memories together while the snow swirls outside.
5. Make your own custom cocktail.
Fancy night out? Not going to happen. Fancy night in? Coming right up! Find a recipe for a cocktail you’ve always wanted to try, or make up your own drink recipe. Start with your favorite wine or liquor, add a mixer, and experiment with different fruits or flavors to create a signature cocktail that’s all your own. Cheers to finding your new favorite indoor activity — and your new mixology skills!
