Winter Activities to try in 2025

As an adult, adopting new hobbies and trying new activities is a daunting prospect. It is easy for us to forget to push ourselves when we already have lots on our plate. Which is why the start of a new year is a great time to get creative with your hobbies and challenge yourself. The new year gives us a clean slate to reset our lives and reassess our priorities. In the spirit of New Year New You and Liquid I.V.®'s passion for adventuring through life with enhanced hydration*, we have put together a guide of cosy activities and exciting outdoor adventures. In this post, we’ll share 3 fun ideas to make the most of the colder months at the start of 2025. Start the year as you mean to go on LIV fam!

While focussing upon building new routines in the New Year, why not build up your hydration routines as well? After all, 80% of the UK are not drinking enough water**! To help guide you on this, give our Hydration Planner blog post a read on how to build hydration into your daily ritual. Taking a Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier® electrolyte powder mix daily* can help support your hydration routine, as it turns ordinary water into extraordinary hydration*. Additionally, Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier® contains 7 vitamins and minerals, including Sodium, Potassium, Vitamin C, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12.

* Please do not exceed one Liquid I.V.® stick per day

1. Ice skating

This tried and tested winter activity is sure to be a hit every time. Throughout the winter period, outdoor rinks pop up across the UK, and they are well worth the visit. Who cares if you need to use the penguin meant for kids to keep yourself upright? You are outside in the fresh air embracing those winter vibes. Ice skating is the perfect way to romanticise your life and embrace your main character energy. Take a partner, friends, or go alone—we promise each option will be equally enjoyable! Afterwards, why not treat yourself to a hot chocolate to embrace that cosy, winter vibe? If you really got a sweat on, take a Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier® electrolyte powder mix to enhance the absorption of water to help replenish what you have lost through sweating*.

2. Open water swimming

In recent years, we have seen an uptick in polar plunge fundraising events taking place across the country, as people brave icy waters in the heart of the winter months. Whether you want to organise a plunge with friends and family to raise money for a good cause or enjoy some fresh air and nature, open water swimming is a unique way to start off 2025 swimmingly (quite literally)! Soon it will become your favourite hobby and way to challenge yourself. Remember, the hardest part is always getting in; after that, it’s easy! Make sure to follow official safety guidelines and go with a licensed instructor. After all that swimming, why not hydrate fast* with a Liquid I.V.® Hydration Multiplier® electrolyte powder mix?

3. Early Morning Frost Photography

If the above suggestions have been a bit too extreme for your liking, then give frost photography a try this winter. This activity gets you outside and moving, as well as developing a new hobby. A huge bonus is that it gives you an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of winter and truly be in the moment with nature for a few hours. A top tip for this activity is to go early in the morning when the frost is untouched, and everything still feels mystical!
