If there's one winter activity the majority of us can all get behind, it would probably be skating. It's fun, it's festive, and it's undeniably much cheaper than other winter sports (skiing, snowboarding, hockey, to name a few). It's also such a multipurpose activity - it's great for a cute date night, it's super family-friendly, and it makes for the perfect holiday Instagram post for a girls' night out.

Below we've compiled a list of ice rink recommendations that by no means cover all the hidden little gems in your local neighborhood, but nevertheless have garnered quite a reputation across the city for delighting skaters year after year with either twinkling holiday lights, fun DJ dance parties, great views of the city skyline, or delicious hot food and beverages available on-site for warming up after your skating sesh. Have fun!

Holy shit, how is it December already? I swear it was Halloween just last week. The weather has barely touched the negatives and there's been like two days of snow, it just doesn't feel like the holidays. But it's no matter, because we're still gonna get #turnt on eggnog and candy canes (sugar high, my friends).

It's almost the end of 2015 and you should make the most of the days we have left of it. Make sure to do everything on this list before the ~New Year~ comes along. 2015 was great, but 2016 will be even better.
