20+ Winter Hobbies & Activities🌲❄️

[@khdcosmic]

Dried oranges is a Yule (Jul) tradition, it symbolizes bringing the sun into your home during these dark, winter months. It might be a nice craft for those with seasonal depression, if you make them on the winter solstice (the 21st) it can help symbolize that everyday after this the sun will be out just a little bit longer ☀️

To anyone who wants to journal but doesn't want to worry about big entries, drawing, etc. Look into once sentence journals. You just write 1-2 sentences with a highlight from that day. Its low pressure, adds up quickly, and it's quick to read through.

[@plushieangela]

For those intimidated by knitting or crochet or those who struggle with manual dexterity or shaky hands may I introduce you to loom knitting. Its so simple, just loop around the peg then lift the stitch over the above row with the hook (there's slow step by step vids on youtube). And its knitted in the round. Plus there's often a beginning side peg in the kits so its easier to know where the starting knot is

[@CozyK]

Oooo!!! I’ll have to look into this, thank youu!

[@claremiller9979]

My eldest daughter does this a lot at after school care, she loves it, it's so easy! She made multiple long pieces and one of the educators helped her sew it into a little beanie/hat, it's SO CUTE Y'ALL.

[@horrormoviereactions]

I don't know if it was this video or another one in the past (I'm on a playlist while I do other things) but you quoted a tumblr account (to quote the start and end: "in another universe I am laying on my floor... and nothing bad has happened to me.")and it took my breath away. Thank you for sharing things like that. I really want to encourage people to journal. Someday, you will forget about the story you've heard many times. You won't be able to remember if your mom's best friend was from Vermont or Maine. You'll forget your favorite summer jam right now. You won't be able to remember your cousin's favorite color. You won't remember how it feels to be the person you are right now. It's a grand thing to get emotional about (an earlier cozy hobby video), because it captures an aspect of you that photographs can never tell. Your inner voice will change. Priorities, friends, romance, trials, hobbies, where you sit and draw and why you love the songs you do... Once you change, looking back can feel like examining a different person. You'll forget that funny story, the best meme of the year, what goal you are confronting right now. It will benefit you in the future, you'll be glad for a record of events. PS You've sold me on the crayola supertip markers! I'm going to order some this week.

[@brianahagen6351]

Your videos bring me so much joy and peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AllNoiseHere]

I think wood burning would also be fitting!! It smells amazing and they usually sell kits online or in hobby stores!

[@coriingram5223]

Couldn’t get into journaling until I started creative writing in my journal! I write about places I want to go as if I’ve gone it’s very therapeutic and I leave a little section blank for in case I ever do go I can tell myself how it actually was. It’s by far my favorite way to bullet journal

[@comfort-and-joy]

So inspiring! I love this

[@jessicawalton4690]

What an awesome idea!

[@cierraslowsdown]

Oh cool! Essentially you’re scripting! I love that you leave a space to talk about how it actually went!

[@StitchObsessed]

Oh my goodness, I’m a quilter, and I was SO excited when you added quilting to this list!!! 😍💖 I’ve been binging your channel lately, and you’re seriously helping me get through the icky winter months 😂 thank you, K!!!✨💖

[@izzywoods794]

Girl! You always uploading as soon as we start missing you lol

[@cosygracegames]

The way your Recent Cozy Favorites video led me to completely transform my room the same day, just to highlight that Kallax window bench that I never thought to display that way 🤧💜 it’s so cozy and my cats love it- thank you!!

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Making soup or slow cooked meals is also a food related winter activity! Recently we went to the farmers’ market and I got a variety of pumpkin that I hadn’t tried before and I made soup with it and it was AMAZING!!! I’m an okay cook but not the best so I was really happy 🥰 It’s also possible to make it fairly affordable as long as you already have somewhere to cook

[@plushieangela]

For beginner quilting, try making little pouches or totes from fat quarters to start. you can even make these from second hand clothes from the thrift store or like an old pear of jeans that no longer fit. Great stocking stuffer

[@laurad6708]

The visionboard thing is so true! I created one beginning of 2023, but haven’t even used it half a year as a phone background. And still the 3 biggest things I achieved 2023: dream job, bought a house, and I am engaged all before my 28 birthday 🥳 also regarding hobbies: creating bracelets, learning calligraphy so that I can then start scrapbooking (but also need to start doing more things outside the house to be able to fill it up haha), coloring by numbers, cross stitching, fill in my recipe book, air dry clay, building miniature rooms/houses, puzzling and also I do my own nails 😅❤

[@shimmerngspirit]

I’ve never made a felted item that didn’t have my blood in it somewhere. I made a full sample quilt a few years ago. I’m so proud of it. I plan to make another soon. It requires precision, but is rewarding. I bring finished items to the quilt shop because they have a long arm sewing machine. I also love spinning. Yarn I’ve spun is often a gift I give to knitters. Also a group of friends and I play dnd and I’ve been chronicling the adventures. I love it and everyone enjoys seeing our campaigns come to life.

[@ivarts9583]

These are amazing! I can testify to dance classes. I joined a ballroom dancing club during my time in college. So much fun & therapeutic. I recommend it 💃🕺

[@hollyrosereadss]

I have a really bad habit of hyper-fixating myself on one hobby and my goal in the new year is to have some variety so I don’t get burnt out… and I’m so excited to try some of these!!!!

[@emhaggsart]

as a bread baker, all those compliments to bread bakers made me feel like a champion lol (it's really not as hard as it looks!)

[@ceegee1706]

The hilarious moment at 15:46 was a gift worthy of a hand-written thank you card.

[@eriseasyeats5473]

Absolutely loved this! Some great ideas - I’m looking forward to nesting in my cosy home when my annual leave kicks in. A suggestion to anyone who is looking to start a crafting thing but isn’t sure if they will like it/finish it - check Vinted for the little crafting kits as you can find them very cheaply and then you don’t feel like you’ve wasted money if it’s your first go and it doesn’t appeal to you when you try it out. I got a felting kit for £1 and made an adorable little lion. I’m planning to buy more but I’m glad I tested it out cheaply first. Stay cosy! 💚

[@PinkyJapan]

Here’s an idea: Quilt a mug rug/snack rug instead of a full quilt! Way less intimidating! 😊

[@LivCharette]

Love your cozy videos, Kennedy! Also, you look gorgeous in this video!!

[@ShaynaFerullo-ty2yc]

Coming from Tahoe my #1 cozy winter activity is volunteering:) it gives perspective We also like to make fires in our fireplace, build snowmen/animals; I would also say sudoku and writing letters to friends/family:)

[@CozyK]

love these ideas!!🫶🏽

[@kimmeekarmaVODs]

I always get a little reminiscent and teary eyed when I think about the past and the little moments too! 💙

[@sieloveotters]

you know girl, i already was going to star journaling, but you have just enlightened the idea of it and im so excited now to start!

[@Daisy-zc8qz]

Your hair looks amazing and healthy! Thanks for a wonderful video!

[@erikadeleche5354]

love this list and have to say curls are looking IMMACULATE bestie

[@Ce11issimo]

Thank you for the lovely, cozy hobby ideas! I enjoyed watching this so much! May I introduce you to another cozy hobby? Carving your own rubber stamps! It's easy to pick up a kit from Michaels (the brand is Speedball, and it includes the carving rubber and tools), and it's wonderful for adding personal touches to cards or your journal. I think you'd enjoy it!

[@CozyK]

wait that sounds amazing!! thanks for the idea!

[@EvelynAlice7]

So happy for this video, and your hair looks so beautiful! The most cosy time of the year! 🎉

[@TessaOswin]

For me the bit of winter I find hardest is but after Christmas so all the sparkly lights are gone but it still cold and dark. Last couple of years I’ve been very much survival is the focus by which I mean looking after my mental health and I will worry about goals ect in spring.

[@1HeathersJourney]

Keep your lights up year round!

[@boba4817]

“And then they kissed, under the tree” LMAOOOOO. 💀 K, I died. You truly deserve millions of subbies. I LOVE you🤍

[@katiejackson2884]

Just wanted to say - I’m going thorough a really hard time at the moment. I have followed you on Instagram for awhile now but have also just found you on KZbin and you are such a light! thank you so much you have helped me bring joy back into my life and reminded me that I need to also look after myself and not just everyone around me! So thank you so so much 🥺🤎

[@EmL-kg5gn]

I hope things have gotten better for you! If not I hope you’re learning how to live with what you’re going through and find moments of happiness in spite of it 💕

[@Chutney1luv]

Cozy K, you are so right about the Journaling. I have it right next to my "Thing To Do List!" Also warming up hot apple cider, that smells so good through the house! Thinks for the great tips Cozy K.! ⭐️🎄⭐️

[@Kris-dk1ij]

I just wanted to talk about creative writing for a minute (edit: and tabletop gaming, since that's mentioned later in the video too! I personally haven't been able to make it to a D&D night since June or July, so this is a nice option for that hobby too 😊)! I'm not a creative person, like at all. If you were to give me a blank canvas or page or something, and no prompts or instructions to get me started, my brain would just shut down. Completely blank. Head empty. I never know what to write about. But earlier this year, I stumbled across solo RPGs and I think they're perfect for creative writing, especially if, like me, you can't think of anything to write about. Most of them seem to involve a journaling aspect, and a lot of them have cozy themes too, like "Sweaters by Hedgehog", in which you play as a hedgehog with a sweater shop. A lot of them involve a deck of playing cards or tarot cards, something to sort of randomize your writing prompts. For instance, in Sweaters by Hedgehog, you sort your deck of playing cards into separate piles by suite, so you'll have a stack of just hearts, just diamonds, etc., and then the heart card you draw tells you what sort of creature your customer is, diamonds tell you something about the interaction, like "this customer had kids with them, what's their connection to these children?". I haven't personally sat down and played very many of these RPGs yet (actually, one of the things I want to build on in 2024 is spending more time on hobbies, including this one!) but it seems like such a nice, cozy starting point for creative writing. Bonus, many of them are quite affordable and accessible, either being free to download or under $5, and use commonly found materials (I know not everyone has a set of polyhedral dice laying around lol), and you can even find playing card or tarot card randomizers online if you don't have them on hand. (For clarity, I just want to say that I'm not associated with Sweaters by Hedgehog in any way, it's just the first one that came to my mind in the cozy genre because, hello, sweaters, forest critters, what more do you need?!)

[@nataliehernandezledesma6888]

I’m so happy that I’m all caught up with your videos. All theses hobbies are so fun and cozy. 🥰

[@JobbieCivanne]

I’m still watching but I’ve been doing so many of these!! Birds of a feather! This really is my community 😂❤

[@bbtoebeans]

I would say that snowshoeing is the snow sport for people who don't like snow sports. If you can go on a nice sunny day, snowshoeing is a good way to experience being on the mountain without committing to something like skiing or snowboarding. That coupled with grabbing a hot coco on top of the mountain makes for nice winter vibes😊❄

[@shoshanabruner3546]

This inspired me to slow down and be extra cozy now that my really busy weeks of work are done for the holiday season :) thanks!

[@daniwilliams1857]

I have done the orange garland, which I LOVE! And I’ve been hand making Bucilla felt stocking kits for my family and I absolutely love it! I used to do my nails at home, but I just havent had time lately but hopefully I can get back i to it next year.

[@emilyjoyphotos]

Candle making! I make candles all fall and then give away some of them as christmas gifts.

[@amberdoucette]

For you cozy gamers I can't recommend the DLC for Lake enough! It's holiday themed and gives all the cozy vibes!

[@iceboog24]

Yay, another video to watch and get cozy! 🥰 Okay so I’ve been coloring a lot lately and I need a recommendation for a lap/table top situation for when I just want to sit on the couch or sit in bed.

[@GraceGootee]

Aaaaa girl! I swear every time you drop a new video, it gives me the inspiration for so many cozy video ideas! 🙌💚🍄 I’ve created so many vision board collages on Canva that I swear I always make a new one for my iPhone wallpaper every month as an inspiration to conquer my goals for the month! They’re so fun to make!💚

[@isabellamagnuson-lee308]

[@KatiesOnFire]

I’ve never played d&d but really want to. I don’t really know how to get into it without knowing people! Feels quite intimidating

[@CozyK]

I feel that!! My fav way was to find some solo RPG books first! The Broken Cask is a great one and even playing Balders Gate or listening to D&D podcasts is a fun way to get into it! Then once you’re confident in the mechanics, it feels easier to reach out in certain online communities/Discords to gather a group together!

[@TashaxMack]

great ideas as always ❤ really wanna get into sewing, and tapping back into writing, journaling, scrapbooking… there’s not enough hours in the day 😫

[@kirakrall4145]

Omg you’re in my head! I was just saying I need to make some dried oranges for tea!

[@Wonderish]

Finding your channel this year has been such a win. I love your whole cozy aesthetic and vibe and I super love the cozy hobby videos. Sadly, I’m not a gamer but my 14 year old is to the max. I’ve been trying to find something that I can play with him so I can spend some time with him. We’ve played Unraveled 2 and we were in hysterics because I am so bad and he was basically just dragging me around. 😂 I was wondering if you have any recs for cozy cooperative games. I’m going to get him to check out Blanc and see if he approves. 😂

[@CozyK]

Something like Super Mario Odyssey, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Pikmin 3 or 4, Spiritfarer, Chicory, Moving Out, or Super Mario Wonder would be great for you both!

[@Wonderish]

Ok so about partenered dancing: the best dance style for gamers is swing dancing. 95% of swing dancers are massive geeks. It's a perfect hobby: physical activity, creativity, social interactions but not too much if you don't feel like it, self expression etc... it's just the best. I highly recommend for anyone, any age, you don't even need a partner to start!

Polymer clay miniatures are super cute, but please be aware that polymer clay is made of PVC, which is the most damaging form of plastic for the environment. Consider using cold porcelain or paper clay instead for your miniatures, as they are much more environmentally friendly!

As much as I like the cozy hobbies and shopping trips, I really miss all the cozy gaming videos. Do you think you will do more of them soon?

[@CozyK]

Possibly! I have one planned for the end of the year, but I stick to short form for my gaming videos since keeping up with long form gaming content made me resent it a bit! So if I ever find a balance that works for me, then I would!

Hiiiiiii🥹 I fucking love your videos🤣 I have a question regarding your journaling process, would you say, or even recommend, that someone carry their journal at all times? Or are you the type to schedule it out at bedtime like when you have a couple minutes to wind down before you close those eyes or what do you think? Do you kind of plan to have it in your day? I’m I’m gonna go a lot, but I’ve been trying to journal successfully, meaning consistently, for like five years now. I’m just trying to see what helps me stick to it I get what you mean and all that you said and emotional you got about it😂😂

[@CozyK]

Thank youu🥹 I’m definitely a schedule a little bit of time throughout the day or at the end of the day verses bringing with me!
