Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19): It just wouldn’t be winter break without you careening down some hill, trying your best to sled straight into the friends in your way! Lucky for you, Boulder has a lot of great sledding hills, from Chautauqua to Mapleton. Explore them all this break, and find your favorite one!
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): Pinterest queen, goddess of the most aesthetic Instagram feed: the perfect first day of break for you, Taurus, would be wandering Pearl street after dark in search of cute photos with all the holiday decorations. Try to find the heart-shaped tunnel and get lots of pics under the lights!
Gemini (May 21-Jun 21): Known to be one of the most adventurous signs, try to make it up to Eldora at least once in the next few weeks! Racing down the mountain and warming up in the lodge after sounds like the perfect way for you to spend your break.
Cancer (Jun 22-Jul 22): If you’re feeling social, Cancers would make great hosts for a New Year’s Eve party! Make everything glitter-themed and enjoy festive food and drink! At least make sure to celebrate the countdown to 2025… and happy half-birthday!
Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22): Organize a gingerbread house competition for your friends or family! Set a timer to build the best gingerbread house possible and put your competitive Leo spirit to good use!
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): What’s better than a mug of Swiss Miss? An entire hot chocolate bar! Make sure to get the classic mini mallows and whipped cream, but branch out and try some cinnamon, eggnog, or peppermint in your cocoa too!
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your graceful nature lends itself well to ice skating! Bring some friends to the cute outdoor rink in Louisville, all lit up with fairy lights and holiday garlands, or race around the indoor rink in CU’s sports center. You could even try a game of ice hockey like in the Charlie Brown cartoons!
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 21): This holiday season, embrace the nostalgia of a classic snowball fight! Join Aries in sledding or Gemini for skiing, and challenge them to an all-out snowball fight afterwards! Knowing you, Scorpio, you’re sure to win.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): Is there anything cuter than a snowman with mittens on its hands and a big top hat? Literally nothing. Challenge yourself to build the biggest snowman you can this year. Back in 2020, a town in Austria built a snowman 124 feet tall, which still holds the record today! Try to beat it.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19): You likely have a birthday coming up, Capricorn! Try baking a batch of cutout cookies this holiday season, either gingerbread or classic sugar. This can be as aesthetic (or as chaotic) as you’d like!
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18): Make sure to rest after the stress of finals and all that was 2024, and curl up with a warm blanket and a movie marathon! There are dozens of classic Christmas and Hanukkah movies to choose from, or check out Vivian’s piece this month for some Hallmark movie recommendations! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? My vote is yes…
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20): If you have a fireplace, light a fire and stay warm this holiday season. Or, try a bonfire outside, and roast marshmallows! Make sure to have all the s’mores fixings, and ask Virgo to bring some hot chocolate, too!
