Firepit Outdoor fireplace Outdoor heater

Invite friends or family over to watch a film, game, or videos on an outdoor TV or computer. Cook and serve a nice, hot dinner outside. Grill a pizza, burgers, or cook a pot of chili or a hearty soup. Enjoy coffee and s’mores over a fire pit afterward. Play beer pong (or use soda), board games, or another outdoor game. If it’s snowing, build snowmen, decorate, and enjoy hot beverages as you admire your work. Host a holiday party that uses both indoors and outdoors spaces. Decorate both areas.

Halloween parties and activities, like apple-bobbing and pumpkin carving. If it’s a party, hold a costume contest and games outside, and have “stations” where guests can take selfies and group pictures. For Thanksgiving use your outdoor and indoor kitchen, then serve the feast on the deck or patio where it’s fresh, cool and crisp.  Depending on where you live, decorate a small living Christmas tree or conifer with simple, weatherproof, non-breakable ornaments, provide blankets and add holiday pillows to extend the party outside.
