It’s official: Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so we have a long winter ahead. From the frigid reaches of Canada, through the blustery lands of the northern US, everyone’s bundling up for another six weeks of winter! If you can’t make it down to visit us at our headquarters in sunny Lake Mary, Florida, we recommend the next best thing… warming up in a hot tub from Dream Maker Spas!

In fact, we have SIX reasons you’ll need a hot tub to help you get through the rest of winter.

1) Reward yourself after winter chores

Do you have to shovel the driveway? Salt the steps? Haul firewood? Winter is a lot of work! Physical activity can leave muscles feeling sore and tense, but doing these chores in the cold winter air can make joints and muscles ache even more. We recommend hydrotherapy to ease the pain of work and weather-related joint pain. Recline back against strategically placed spa jets and let their massaging action ease away the day’s tension.

2) Keep a common cold from keeping you down

Winter is a common cold’s playground. The common cold virus travels easier in cold air, and when we’re inside in close quarters, it makes it easier for germs to travel from person to person. A common cold can leave you achy, chilly, congested and exhausted. Soaking in your hot tub can help to relieve many of the symptoms of the common cold, helping you de-stress to make you feel more like yourself.

3) Entertain the Family

Cabin fever has set in! Sure there’s plenty to do inside, but as winter drags on it seems like the walls are closing in. With a roomy hot tub steps from your door, your family can finally get back outside. The days are still shorter, but a hot tub lets you carry the outside fun into the night. Illuminate your soak with your spa’s LED Backlit MoonGlo waterfall and optional Ambient Lighting Package. Your family can play water games (like card games with a waterproof deck of cards) or just hang out together, all while enjoying getting out of the house!

4) Make date night special

You can still have a romantic date night without ever having to drive anywhere! Why risk the stress of driving on icy roads — or force yourself to bundle up to go out — when the hottest spot in town is waiting for you just steps away? This Friday night, opt out of the usual dinner and a movie, and opt for a hot tub date instead. Choose a romantic playlist, set out appetizers, light some candles, and get ready for a romantic night in!

5) Keep the party at your place

Just like staying in for date night, we see no reason to leave the house to have some fun! With a hot tub from Dream Maker Spas in your backyard, your friends will all want to come to your place for the party! Simple decorations around your spa area, an outdoor heater and seasonal drinks and snacks is all it takes to turn up the party.

6) Don’t forget to Enjoy Winter!

By the time February rolls around, most of us are ready for spring, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our favorite winter activities for a little bit longer! There’s something really invigorating about soaking in your spa surrounded by crisp winter air. Whether you’re watching snow fall around you or gazing at the stars on a clear night, you’ll see why many people get the most use out of their spas during the winter.
