From wintery walks to cosy evenings around a fireplace – we have shortlisted our top 10 romantic Christmas proposal ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know Christmas is the most romantic time of year, so what better time to ask your soulmate to marry you? Christmas Day remains the most popular time of year to pop the question, closely followed by New Years Eve and Valentines’ day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christmas can mean lots of visitors and visiting! Therefore, this may make a big difference on when and where you decide to pop the question. Although this would very much depend on the person, if they are family-orientated, this may be a moment they want their family to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Proposal – Treasure Hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? This proposal idea may take some planning! However, by setting a series of clues for your other half to hunt around for remains a popular engagement story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the engagement ring itself may be hidden in a ring box at the end of the proposal. Alternatively, the last clue could simply read, ‘ Marry me?’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cracker Proposal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Custom Christmas crackers are really easy to make. And what better way to ask the question! Again, this would depend on your christmas dinner plans and whether your partner would like a public proposal. Either way, we would recommend ensuring the ring is secure in a small pocket box inside the cracker! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"christmas<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Custom Advent Calendar <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the cracker idea, and will require some thought and planning! Empty advent calendars are available to purchase on most crafting sites. Giving the opportunity to plan out each door with your partner’s favourite trinkets. This provides the opportunity to either have the ring hidden inside the Christmas eve door or saved for Christmas morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Decoration <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hanging in the tree… Or a custom Christmas decoration box. Nevertheless, this detail makes for a perfect idea for proposing at Christmas. Our example below shows our lovely client who did just this. Featuring a festive custom proposal box securing the stunning diamond shoulder Francesca ring design.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Proposal – Winter Walk <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s a tradition that a lot of families do on Christmas day – going for a walk. Whether this is before the christmas meal or after, most importantly, this can create an opportunity for a romantic proposal. This can also be a time to reflect away from company and a moment shared together. In addition, the streets are lit with christmas lights and trees, creating the perfect backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"winter<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Proposal On Boxing Day <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the big day is a popular day to pop the question, boxing day also makes for a romantic proposal. The excitement and busyness subsided slightly, therefore making an intimate opportunity to ask the all-important question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Tree Farm <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps not essentially a christmas day proposal. But going to choose a Christmas tree can make the perfect opportunity. However, take into consideration if your partner would appreciate a very public proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Proposal – Ice Skating <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following on from public proposals, ice skating rinks are a popular Christmas proposal location. With many towns and cities setting up festive displays with temporary ice rinks. Surrounded by Christmas festivities, this option can make a romantic Christmas proposal setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hot Chocolate Proposal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simple and effective! You can purchase mugs online with a hidden message, and once all the drink is gone, it will reveal text at the bottom of the mug asking the question for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Box Little Box <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are all guilty of going looking for presents… or even trying to guess by the size of the boxes under the tree. Therefore, hiding a small engagement ring in plain site can be tricky. To avoid suspicion place the ring into a larger box to mask any thoughts it could be an engagement ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, this is exactly why the Serendipity Diamonds packaging is a lot bigger than you’d think! Take all the guesswork away with a ring box, and wrap a larger box for under the tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Engagement Ring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, to make the Christmas proposal happen – the ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Serendipity, handcrafting an engagement ring by our artisan jewellers can take up to 4 weeks. With care and precision going into each and every commission. Therefore, we recommend getting ahead of the queue by placing your order before our workshop gets extra busy with Christmas orders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
