Winter Wonderlands for Your Best Holiday Proposal

From snow to fairy lights, let the season's sparkles be the backdrop for your magical holiday proposal.

Winter might just be the best time to get engaged. Snowy parks, frozen rivers, and city lights all make for perfect winter wonderlands for your best holiday proposal. Here are some of our favorite local destinations to get engaged...

Swoon. This romantically lit-up St. Paul park will make your proposal look as dreamy as the ones in your favorite holiday movies.

This timeless portion of the riverfront is especially dazzling in winter, and it provides plenty of eateries to celebrate your new fiancé status!

Whether you choose Raspberry Park in St. Paul, Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, or Centennial Lakes in Edina, a quiet winter walk along the water offers plenty of intimacy for your holiday proposal.

Crashing into each other while trying to twirl on ice is the stuff of Romcom dreams, and that makes an ice arena the perfect place to hear your partner say yes.

The Crow Hassan dog park is a top choice for pup-parents to propose in the company of their furry blended family. Or, bring an insta-worthy blanket (and a bottle of bubbles in your backpack), and propose in the solitude of a winter picnic.

Plan a day to chop your own tree, and make your partner's engagement ring the first gift under that tree.

Proposing downtown has a very Breakfast-At-Tiffany's feel about it. Clear your whole day. Propose early, and then bask in your engagement at any number of eateries, spas, museums, or any of the other treasures a downtown proposal offers.
