Bring out a nice bottle of wine, uncork it, and let the emotions flow—and then some.

Holiday parties are an excellent opportunity for singles to get together and chat up one another.

Tinder Your Area

You should always keep your Tinder game on point by looking for possible matches outside of your area, but when you do get a match, go to your favorite haunt and relive those memories.
Mistletoe
Although it may be a bit cliché, but the mistletoe is a good holiday tradition to fall back on if you’re running out of luck with other options.

Hey, it’s a tear jerker okay!?
Get in Touch with Your Inner Child
When the snow falls, it’s a perfect opportunity to embrace your inner child and get out there and have some kid-like fun! Go sledding, build a snow man, make some snow angels. Then when you’re both feeling cold to the core, go back inside and try and warm each other up by cuddling under the blankets, sipping on hot cocoa and relaxing by the fire.
