Long Island has cold yet glorious winters. Every frost-sparkling day is an opportunity to get closer to your special someone, from cuddling by a cozy fire to exploring new experiences in the city. If you’re looking for exciting new date ideas on Long Island to delight your beloved, we’ve got you covered. As fellow Long Islanders, we know how to make the day special with unique experiences up and down the island we call home.
Check out these 11 winter date ideas on Long Island that will put the sparkle in your partner’s eyes as you share new experiences that go above and beyond cozy movies at home.
1. Hike to the Lighthouse on Fire Island
Hiking tops our list of date ideas on Long Island, and the Fire Island lighthouse is the perfect destination. A local icon and legend, it’s one of the things people envision when they think of Long Island. The first lighthouse was built in 1826, and its tower was built in 1857. However, only a few stones remain of that structure, and the one we see today was built in the 1980s. This important slice of history also provides a breathtaking outdoor hike and a rewarding exploration of a modern working lighthouse at the end. So, if your beloved enjoys a winter hike, head to this iconic point together.
2. Timeless Speakeasy Date
The roaring 20s are all the rage this year, so put on your best 20s finery and take your partner on a Speakeasy date! The best place in Long Island is Charlotte’s Speakeasy, located below an old-timey ice cream shop where you can drink in recreated prohibition-era style as if you were part of the trendy underground that was living it up a century ago.
3. Couple’s Spa Day
Looking for a little luxury? A couple’s spa day is next on our list of winter date ideas on Long Island. You and your partner can steam in a sauna, get massages, and swim in heated pools. You can also sip luxurious hot cocoa by a roaring fire in fluffy bathrobes. Everyone loves to be pampered, and it’s more fun to do it as a couple.
4. Spyscape Adventure Date
Spyscape is also a unique venue to play spy games, train to become super spies, and tour the historical museum. You can dodge lasers, solve mysteries, and have a blast on this unique adventure date that isn’t your average escape room or mystery dinner.
5. Share a Sled Down a Snowy Hill
Everyone also loves sledding, and in Long Island, the snows are deep enough to get a good run down the right hill. So, pick up a sled big enough for two, hold on tight to each other (and the sled), and make some unforgettable snowy memories!
6. Take Arts and Crafting Classes Together
Next on our list of winter date ideas on Long Island is taking crafting classes together. You will find unique little crafting studios all over the island where you can take lessons with your partner. Learn to throw pots (spin clay pots on a wheel), blow glass, paint, knit, cook, or whatever else would delight you both to learn side by side.
7. Tour the Vanderbilt Museum & Planetarium
Long Island’s museums also make a perfect winter date spot, offering warmth and engaging exhibits for a cozy indoor experience. But our best museum by far is the Vanderbilt Museum & Planetarium. It offers beautiful décor, unique gardens, and a breathtaking planetarium show to conclude your visit.
8. Visit the Idyllic Village of Greenport
Looking for all-day charm, shopping, and seafood? Visit Greenport Village, home to a charming seaside shopping area that beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. Walk hand-in-hand down the cheerful streets, eat seafood with a glorious ocean view, and shop for trinkets on your relaxing all-day date.
9. Luxurious Hotel Staycation
Our list of winter date ideas on Long Island also involves luxurious staycations, but they don’t always have to be at home. Book a night or two at a luxurious hotel and get ready to be pampered. You can also book a shared spa treatment, order room service, and take the weekend to immerse yourselves in the luxury of each other’s company.
10. Christmas Angel Shopping Date
If you’re passionate about charity, consider taking your date to a location with a Salvation Army Angel Tree. You can each pick an angel and fulfill a child’s Christmas wish with a day of philanthropic shopping. Fill your hearts together by making Christmas for children in need.
11. Lively Dinner at KPacho
A lively dinner is the last entry on our list of winter date ideas on Long Island. So, take your special someone to a beautiful place with delicious food and an amazing vibe. KPacho is one of the top Mexican restaurants on Long Island, with live music, gorgeous dining spaces, and a unique blend of eclectic yet luxurious decor.

Throwing a spectacular New Year’s Eve party is all about the theme. Choose a great theme and your party will be one for the books, a celebration that everyone will remember as you reflect on the year that’s passed and jump into the year ahead.
However, as we prepare to ring in 2025, what kind of party will you throw? What theme will inspire your friends to arrive in delightful costumes, toast their cocktails in style, and have an amazing time?
There’s no one right answer. Any creative and glamorous theme will bring your friends together for a fantastic evening. So, let’s explore ten of the best New Year’s Eve party themes and event ideas this coming 2025!
Flashback Costume Party
New Year’s is a great time to look back into the past, no matter how far. Invite your friends to a flashback costume party. Any costume from any previous era will do, whether it’s the jeans and fringe vests of the 1960s or the powdered wigs and lace of the 1760s. You can also let your guests dress as famous people from history or wear outdated fashion trends or historic technologies and conceptual trends.
Great Gatsby (Roaring 20s) Cocktail Party
No era was more glamorous than the 20s. When we think of iconic New Year’s Eve parties, we can’t help but think of the Great Gatsby era. The glitter, the glam, and the Prohibition Era were all top-notch. The best food and cocktail ideas for a 2025 New Year’s Eve party will fit perfectly in your 20s party.
Murder Mystery Dinner Party
Want to host a dinner party your guests will never forget? Throw a murder mystery dinner party. Invite everyone to arrive in character, set the stage, and tell a story where everyone plays a role and gets to guess who the killer is.
New Year’s Resolution Raffle
A resolution raffle is an iconic activity for your New Year’s Eve party. To start, choose a few spectacular (or hilarious) prizes and invite everyone to write a resolution on a piece of paper. Put all the resolutions in a bowl or hat and draw a few to read aloud. Those whose resolutions are drawn win one of the prizes. This activity will also inspire conversation about your shared goals for the new year.
Your Younger Self Theme Party
Another fun way to look back is to throw a costume party where everyone dresses as their younger selves. They can dress as children, teenagers, or young adults as long as it was a previous era of their lives. The older and more era-iconic the clothes and accessories, the better. This is also a great excuse for everyone to dig through their closets or rebuild old favorite outfits for the party.
New Year’s Masquerade Ball
If you’re looking for a grand event, throw a Masquerade Ball for your New Year’s Eve party. Welcome overly fancy costumes, tons of glitter, and beautiful decorative masks. Be sure to have a dance floor available so your guests can have a ball.
Neon Glow Party
New Year’s Eve parties are often metallic and glittery, but you can shine in other ways. A neon party makes it fun to turn out the lights. Decorate with black lights and hand out glow sticks and glow jewelry. Set up a black light reactive face and body paint station and tell everyone to wear their most illuminating outfit. This theme is also spectacular for a techno dance rave-style New Year’s Eve party.
Hand-Crafted Mementos Table
It’s always nice to have something to remember at the party, a special memento or keepsake for the new year. Instead of handing out baubles or pieces of the table centerpiece, invite your guests to hand-craft their mementos or gift each other with hand-painted decorations. Paint wine glasses, statues, stones, glass balls, or other cool items and keep them for the memories.
Movie Marathon With Popcorn
Plan a movie marathon for a chill evening with a few favorite people. You can set up a movie-watching station at a larger party where people can rest, recuperate, and enjoy a few cinematic classics. Stock up on popcorn and build an amazing playlist of movies that will run all night. You can also invite your friends to dress up as their favorite movie characters.
New Year’s Scavenger Hunt
Last but never least is the New Year’s scavenger hunt. Challenge your friends to find meaningful items in 2024 as you prepare to welcome 2025. Keep the hunt in the house or take the event out into the neighborhood with photo-finds — when you take a photo of something in town to prove the scavenge.

by Jessica | Nov 4, 2024 | Dining, Thanksgiving
From October to January, there are many holiday parties to host or attend. Company parties, social galas, gatherings of friends, as well as family get-togethers are all part of the magic of the holiday season. If you are hosting a party this Thanksgiving Eve or want your holiday party to stand out, having a great theme can make a big difference, especially if you’re going to serve some amazing catering with large group dining.
We have a wonderful selection of ideas and fun party names to inspire your holiday party planning this year.
1) Cranberry/Candy Cane Crush: Drinks and Dessert
Throw an event featuring primarily holiday-themed cocktails and delectable specialty desserts. For Thanksgiving Eve, you might call it a Cranberry Crush, putting everyone in mind of their favorite holiday sweet side on the Thanksgiving table. Explore cranberry-themed drinks and desserts, and go wild with other holiday flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet potatoes, and marshmallows.
2) Pre-Game Party: Relax With Games and Snacks
For many, Thanksgiving is also inextricably connected with sports. Since you’re throwing a Thanksgiving Eve event, consider calling it your “pre-game” and including fun party games alongside a delicious catered meal. You can also feature awesome homemade snacks and share party games that will be enjoyed by sports fans and non-sports fans alike to make the night a hit for everyone.
3) Elve’s Day Off: A Feast for Holiday Hard Workers
Everyone knows that Santa’s elves work hard all year. So an Elve’s Day Off is a fun idea for Thanksgiving Eve and an office Christmas party. This party idea is particularly poignant for those who tend to work hard during the holiday season, like coworkers in retail and logistics who ensure everyone gets their gifts or receives essential services all winter long.
Celebrate a little time off with your fellow elves by throwing a feast to reward all that hard work. You can also pass out elf ears, encourage silly hats, and kick back for an evening of relaxation. If Turkey is the theme for tomorrow, feature ham, steak, or even seafood instead.
4) Masquerade Ball Dinner: Dine in Style and Satin Masks
Everyone loves a masquerade — it’s a chance to dress up fancy and wear fun masks while gathering for a delicious meal. Host a Masquerade Ball and dinner party where everyone can wear their best (or not). You can also provide paper masks or even a fun mask-making craft station for those who don’t have their satin masks at home and play fun party games involving masks and mask-removing just for fun.
5) Baking Blow-Out: A Mountain of Pies, Cookies, and Cakes
For many, baked goods are the highlight of the season. Host a bonanza of baked goods (there are so many available alliterations and puns for your party name). Feature an incredible dessert table stacked with pies, cookies, cakes, and seasonal treats like fudge and peanut brittle. You can also invite home chefs to bring their holiday specialties to wow the crowd, hold little contests (like “best-decorated cookie”), and make the day a sugar extravaganza.
Bonus: Creative Names for Office Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Parties
So, what are some creative names for office Christmas or Thanksgiving parties? We know that offices often want to host a memorable holiday party or two, and that comes with a fun party name. Here are a few ideas to spark your imagination and get your team excited to attend the yearly group dining experience.
Thanksgiving Party Names
- Gratitude Gala
- Turkey Toast
- Thanksgiving Pre-Game
- Cranberry Jubilee
- Pie-extravaganza
Christmas Party Names
- Frost Feast
- Jingle Bell Ball
- Sweater Soiree
- Winter Spectacular
- Holiday Masquerade
