In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, don’t forget to spend some quality time with your significant other. Outside of the gifts and tinsel, it’s important to also give of your undivided time.
We put together 5 fun Christmas date ideas to get you through the next 2 weeks.

Big Screen Movie Night
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is playing in IMAX on the dome at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. What better way to geek out over this latest Star Wars installment than with your significant other and that dizzying dome screen?
Dinner Suggestion: Pre-show dinner at one of the Campus 805 restaurants – Straight to Ale, Rock N Roll Sushi, or Earth and Stone Wood Fired Pizza.
Pizza & Ice Skating
Take your date out for pizza and wine at Pane e Vino, then top the evening off with skates for two at Skating in the Park! The lights, music and laughs make Skating in the Park an excellent place to take your main squeeze.

Art Market Holiday Shopping
Spend an afternoon shopping at Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment. It’s totally date-worthy, complete with pushing each other on the swings on the 2nd floor, trying out the new coffee shop (Alchemy Lounge) and indulging in the artisan chocolate that is Pizzelle’s truffles.
Suggestion: Split up for half an hour and spend that time picking out a special gift for each other. Open them later over dinner.
Family Date Night with Annie
Annie the musical will be in Huntsville for three mid-week performances, December 20 – 21. Take the whole family out to see the show! Later in the week, rent one of the Annie movies and discuss how the stage version and the movie were the same, and how they were different.
Carpool Christmas Karaoke at Galaxy of Lights
If you haven’t heard of carpool karaoke, you can catch up here. Galaxy of Lights is the perfect way to play your own version of carpool karaoke with your favorite Christmas songs while viewing the twinkling lights.
Bonus: Make sure everyone has a warm cup of hot cocoa before setting out. Better yet, bring a thermos for refills and extra marshmallows if the lines are long.
