A snow day is an excellent opportunity for an exciting adventure. We've partnered with the FIAT^® 500X to share fun ideas for staying cozy and active this Winter.

When a blizzard transforms your home into an igloo, it can be tempting to stay inside. However, with the FIAT^® 500X, there's no need to avoid the snowy roads! With its available all-wheel drive, the car can easily take on inclement weather for a snowy adventure. Whether you're craving a scenic trip to the slopes or the shops, or an excuse to update your wardrobe (to combat the cold, of course), a snow day is the perfect excuse to have an adventure with friends! Read on for five fun ideas to make the most of your next snow day.

The season for souped-up sundaes and milkshakes has come and gone, but another sweet treat is here to steal your heart — haute hot chocolate. Tap into your inner chef by whipping up your own delicious concoction for a tasty, social media-worthy hot chocolate. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dollop of coconut cream will lend the drink a tasty twist.

If the mere thought of stepping outside makes you shiver, it's time to reimagine your Winter attire for optimal insulation in the snow. Instead of leaning in to basic black and beige, add a pop of color with a bright red quilted, down-filled vest or a deep amethyst cashmere sweater. Get on board with one of the season's top trends by layering on velvet accents for an ensemble that will keep you warmer than silk or cotton. The FIAT^® 500X has a roomy trunk to transport all of your new purchases back home, so go nuts!

You may not call the Swiss Alps home, but you can still find a rustic cafe or restaurant with luxe, log-cabin vibes. Seek out cozy elements, like fire pits and rustic stone walls, and bring along a book to devour as you defrost. The FIAT^® 500X offers all-wheel drive to keep you safe as you navigate the icy roads and snow showers.

If you live in a particularly snowy area, chances are you'll find Winter sports competitions nearby. Those who live by a body of water will flip for snow sailing. The serene sport entails fastening runners to the bottom of a small sailboat, enabling the sailboat to slide along the frozen surface when the sails pick up the wind. Snow kayaking, another traditional water sport transplanted to dry land, is ideal for anyone who loves traveling at high speeds and enjoying the crisp weather. Finally, sunny-weather sports don't need to cease completely when the temperature drops below freezing! A round of snow golf is a great way to unwind.

Skiing and snowboarding aren't the only activities you can enjoy outdoors in frosty weather. Instead of the nearest ski resort, head to the hills for another type of adventure. Grab four friends and take a trip in the FIAT^® 500X to meet your new favorite wintertime sports: snow tubing and snowshoeing. If you love sledding downhill at top speeds, try snow tubing instead, which utilizes an inner tube to slide down a slope at a thrilling velocity. If a challenging workout is what you crave, slip into a pair of snowshoes and prepare to admire the surroundings while you elevate your heart rate. Enhance the drive home with an available heated steering wheel that will thaw frozen fingers.
