Get cosy with an indoor picnic

An indoor picnic during winter holds a unique charm, offering warmth and coziness amidst the cold weather outside. Bring the joy of al fresco dining into the comfort of your home.

1. Layer this experience with warmth and comfort by arranging blankets and pillows on the floor, using lamps instead of main light fixtures, and adding some calming background music.

2. With hearty comfort foods, it fosters a sense of intimacy and relaxation, perfect for gathering with loved ones or enjoying a quiet moment of solitude.

3. Indoor picnics evoke a nostalgic ambiance, reminiscent of simpler times spent connecting with nature, while providing the convenience of staying indoors during chilly weather.

HOT FINGER FOODS

BAKED GOODS

Bake a batch of savory scones, muffins, or biscuits to enjoy alongside the meal. Pair them with flavored butters or spreads for extra indulgence.

WARM BEVERAGES

Don’t forget to include hot beverages like mulled cider, hot chocolate, or herbal teas to keep everyone warm and cozy.

DESSERTS
