What the Data Shows
A romantic walk to see holiday lights is the dream for 48.4% of members — by far the largest share. It’s low-key, outdoors, and inherently intimate: two people moving through the dark together, lit by something magical. For a community drawn to the natural world, it makes perfect sense.
A cozy movie night came second at 27.5%, confirming that SurfersMatch members are comfort-seekers at heart. Together, these two options account for nearly three in four votes — both centered around closeness and ease rather than elaborate plans or organized events.
Christmas markets (10.8%) and baking cookies together (7.4%) are niche favorites that suggest some members want a more active or social holiday date. Ice skating trailed at 5.8%. The consistent thread is togetherness in a warm, low-pressure setting — whether that’s a lamp-lit street or a kitchen dusted with flour.
