Getting Engaged at Christmas and the Best Ways to Do it
So why do so many people get engaged at Christmas? We all love gifts at Christmas time but is there any better gift to receive than an engagement ring at the most festive time of the year. An engagement ring is the sort of gift at Xmas that your partner will never forget and will treasure forever. Christmas and New Year has always been the season for proposals, in fact Christmas Day and Christmas Eve are the most popular days of the year for people to pop the question. The next biggest days after this are New Years Eve and New Years day.
I can see why so many decide to pop the question around Christmas time, it’s a great time as your home and around all your family and friends so this makes it an ideal time to ask. People are always in great spirits at Xmas and the celebrations are in full swing, add an engagement to that and it’s a really good time. An engagement proposal is something that should be shared with family and friends and when best to get everyone together.

For this reason the team here at Engagement Gifts are very busy, especially coming into January when all the engagement parties are taking place. January is one of our busiest months which might surprise some people. So that’s some of the reasons why people choose to get engaged at Christmas time, but what’s the best way to propose at Xmas?
Christmas is a truly amazing time to get engaged and the way couples can do it are endless, but we’ve listed five ways you can pop the question.
- By the Christmas Tree – We all love waking up Christmas morning and sitting under the tree unwrapping the gifts from our loved one. Imagine your partners face as they open a gift from you, only to turn around to you and you’re on one knee popping the question.
- At a Christmas Night Out – Christmas is a great time to propose as lots of family and friends are home, so why not plan a great family night out, get really dressed up and find a really nice restaurant to ask them to be yours forever.
- Spell The Proposal Out – You can do this in so many cute ways like if you have a child or even a dog together, you can get “will you marry me on their top” the possibilities here are endless.
- Get Help – You can enlist the help of family, friends or even a dog to pop the question to your loved one. You can attach the ring to your dog’s collar and wait for them to notice, just keep an eye on the dog in case they eat the ring 🙂
- At The New Year Countdown – Ok this is not going to be a quiet and intimate proposal, well depending on where you are, but still a great way to get a proposal in when they are least expecting it. What could be a nicer way than to get down on one knee when the fireworks are going off in the background.
If you’re planning on popping the question this Christmas we wish you all the luck in the world!
