Cozy Winter Activities to Do at Home During a Connecticut December

by Tom Cavaliere

December doesn’t have to be all about rushing around. With early sunsets and crisp nights, it’s the perfect month to embrace cozy indoor living.

Here are simple, relaxing ideas to bring warmth into your home:

Create a Winter Comfort Night:
Light candles, make hot chocolate, and curl up with a blanket. Whether you’re reading a book, streaming a movie, or playing games, create a small ritual you look forward to each week.

Try a New Seasonal Recipe:
Connecticut winters call for soups, roasts, warm desserts, and anything slow-cooked. A family recipe or a new holiday dish can become a tradition.

Declutter Before the New Year:
It’s amazing how much lighter your home feels when you head into January with less clutter. Spend 20 minutes a day tackling one cabinet, drawer, or closet.

Upgrade Your Winter Comforts:
Think cozy bedding, warm lighting, and small touches that make your home feel like a retreat from the cold.

Winter in Connecticut is long — decorating and creating routines that bring comfort can make the season feel so much more enjoyable.
