This winter season [1], there's no reason to stay in bed streaming Netflix [2] all day (although we still do that a lot and love it). Even though being socially distanced is still as important as ever, there are all kinds of activities you can do — both indoors and outdoors — that are perfect to switch up your routine and have some fun. From thrill-seeking adventures outside to cosy-yet-competitive indoor games, take advantage of of the chill for some much-needed down time. The following 25 activities will make sure the coldest season is still fun, and you can do most of them either solo or with whoever you're living with, whether it be your roommates or family.
