The Holiday Season and Hot Tubs: The Ideal Gift for the Entire Family

A hot tub is ideal for the whole family. The holiday season is one of the best times to get together with family and friends. When the snow starts to fall, you will enjoy the new addition to your house just as much as the first time you let them use their spa. So what are you looking forward to?

We are here to persuade you that you will love our hot tubs, and we have planned several activities you will like during your first encounter with a hot tub over the holiday season. If you are considering purchasing a new spa for your house this season, we are here to help! The following is a list of some of our most popular pursuits that your whole family is likely to love.

Celebration of the New Year with Champagne

A new year is always an excellent excuse to have a party. You’ll have a luxurious New Year’s celebration if you treat yourself to a day at the spa and pop open a bottle of champagne. There is no better way to usher in the new year than by relaxing in a hot tub with the person you hope to spend the rest of your life with or having a merry party with your closest friends. Therefore, remove the cover from your bathtub, pop the cork from your preferred champagne bottle, and have a relaxing dip outside while watching the stars or fireworks!


Just keep in mind to enjoy your bubbly responsibly; do not take an excessive amount of alcohol while you are at the spa, and be sure to drink enough water. Oh, and if you’re going to be drinking in or near your bathtub, it’s advisable to stick to plastic champagne flutes rather than glass ones because glass presents a risk.

Spa and Snow Angels

Blizzards are common along the Front Range, so if you choose to make your home here, you should be prepared for them each winter. To make the most of the sparkling precipitation the white stuff brings, you can head out to the hot tub when it starts falling. If you are feeling brave, you should get out of the car, dive into the snow, and make an angel in the snow. Children enjoy going back and forth between the hot tub and the snow; if you give it a shot, you will have the experience of being a child again! Be sure to keep an eye on the children at all times, and don’t allow them to run around the bathtub if there is water or ice on the floor!

Soak up Some Vitamin D.

When winter arrives, the sun moves to the opposite side of the earth and spends most of the time there, keeping us in the dark for most of the season. In addition, when temperatures are low, it might be challenging to get oneself to go outside and soak up some sun. If you suffer from the seasonal affective disorder and require some much-needed warming rays from the sun, you can battle the cold by taking a soak during the daytime. To obtain sun exposure throughout the day, you should go out to the hot tub whenever there is a sunny break. Because of sunlight exposure, your body can produce vitamin D, which it will be grateful for. Depending on the color of your skin, the time of year (there is less UVB exposure during the winter), and the time of day (there is more UVB exposure when skies are clear and the sun is at its highest), you should limit your time spent swimming in the sun to somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes at the most. If you are going to be out in the sun for a lengthy period, limit the amount of time you spend in direct sunlight and use sunscreen liberally. Be aware that certain people are more sensitive to sunlight while swimming; therefore, if your skin is burning, itching, or becoming extremely dry, you should avoid overexposing yourself to the sun.

Winter Olympics

Fights with snowballs are a lot of fun. And if you have a spa to warm up in, the fun factor goes through the roof. In addition, you may use your hot tub as the ideal “home base” for all the snow games you enjoy playing by placing it in the middle of your snowy terrain. If, for example, you are constructing a snowman, you are free to remain close to the hot tub; all you need to do is maintain your swimsuit and a few towels on hand.

Coffee and hot chocolate in the morning

Is there anything that can help you get started on your day more effectively than a steaming mug of cocoa or coffee first thing in the morning? If getting out of bed and immediately stirring something hot in your hands is one of your favorite ways to start the day, adding a soak in a hot tub to your morning ritual will be a lot of fun. You will be able to spring out of bed more quickly and feel revitalized and calm for the day ahead if you purchase a new hot tub for the Christmas season.
