- How to Have a Snowball Fight: Apparently, there are actual rules (no headshots!), but who cares? Just grab some snow, pack it tight, and unleash your inner warrior (safely, of course).
- How to Make Hot Cocoa: This one's pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to get creative with marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a peppermint schnapps spike (for adults only, please!).
