The holiday season is here, and love is in the air! There’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than by proposing to your significant other. It’s such an enchanting time of year that can only be enhanced with an engagement ring. With just a little bit of thought and some Christmas magic, the dream of a perfect proposal becomes a reality!

Under the Christmas Tree

Halo engagement rings can make the perfect gift. You can hide your proposal in plain sight by wrapping the ring and placing it under the Christmas tree. As your loved one opens their gifts, they’ll be pleasantly surprised when they open a box with a gorgeous diamond ring inside.

Holiday Sleigh Ride

Is there anything more romantic than snuggling up during a winter sleigh ride? Surprise your loved one by booking a sleigh ride in your town, or during a weekend getaway. Enjoy spending time close together looking at Christmas lights and winter scenery. When the moment is right, express your love and ask the big question.

Seasonal Scavenger Hunt

The holiday season is a great time for a seasonal scavenger hunt that ends with a proposal! Take some time to plan a few activities that combine the spirit of Christmas and cherished memories. For example, have your partner find and figure out clues around your town that lead them to the place you first met, decorated for Christmas. Meet them at the last location, ready to ask them to marry you!

Surrounded by Family

Proposals and engagement rings are about love. Consider proposing during a family gathering this holiday season. This is a great way to catch your loved one off guard. They will simply be enjoying the night, laughing and chatting, when, out of nowhere, you get down on one knee! The best part of this proposal is you can instantly start celebrating with all of your favorite people.

Advent Surprise

Celebrate the tradition of an advent calendar and give it to your loved one right before December starts. Each day they’ll find something sweet from you, but, for the very last day of the calendar, surprise them with a ring! Lead up to your Christmas proposal with small gifts including:

  • Their favorite candy
  • Chocolates
  • Love notes
  • Mini bottles of liquor
  • Small candles

Just the Two of You

The Christmas season is full of hustle and bustle. Between shopping, wrapping, and parties it can be tough to find some alone time. However, if you can plan a night in with your favorite takeout and a bottle of wine, it’s a great place to pop the question! While appreciating a quiet moment, share your love and start a new chapter together.

A Big Night Out

If you like the idea of an intimate proposal but want to add more flair, consider a big night out. Get all dressed up for a fancy dinner and limousine ride to look at Christmas lights. During dinner or in the limo, pop the question! To make this extra special, hire a photographer to capture the whole proposal.
