Winter in Canada is serious business, but with a few cozy tricks, you can stay toasty and enjoy every snowflake! Here are five ways to embrace the cold while staying warm and having fun.

1. Warm Up with a Hot Drink Adventure

Nothing beats the chill like a hot drink. Try making mulled cider with apple juice, cinnamon, and cloves, or a homemade hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. If you’re feeling adventurous, explore some local cafés and find the best hot drink in your area.

Tip: Create your own hot cocoa bar with toppings like chocolate shavings, caramel, and cinnamon for a fun twist!

2. Layer Up with the Right Winter Gear

Layers are key for surviving a Canadian winter. Start with thermal or merino wool base layers, add a cozy sweater, and top it off with a warm coat. Don’t forget thick socks, mittens, and a beanie!

Tip: Look up some local shops or Canadian brands known for winter wear, like Rudsak, Roots or MEC, to stay warm in style.

3. Make a Winter Comfort Food Feast

Fill your home with the warmth of a hearty meal—think poutine, beef stew, or creamy mac and cheese. Nothing says cozy like a delicious hot meal, especially when shared with friends or family!

Recipe Ideas: Search for some classic Canadian comfort food recipes online, or create your own take on a winter favorite.

4. Plan a Winter Movie Marathon

Settle in with your favorite winter films. Throw on a cozy blanket, make some popcorn, and queue up a mix of feel-good movies and snowy adventures.

Movie Night Tip: Go for Canadian classics like Bon Cop Bad Cop, Serie Noire or One Week for some local flavor, or rewatch a snowy favorite!

5. Get Moving with Winter Activities

Sometimes, the best way to stay warm is to keep moving! Try snowshoeing, ice skating, or a winter hike to get your blood pumping. If it’s too cold outside, an at-home workout will warm you up in no time.
