Cold weather season is here. We’ve put together five ideas to help you stay cozy on your next snow day.

1. Stay out of the cold and order-in

Make your afternoon Netflix binge-watching sessions extra comfy with a side of hot soup. For soup season goodness, here are some of our favorite hot and delicious soups at Lettuce restaurants near you.

An added bonus to ordering in, you can now earn and redeem Frequent Diner Club Points or use your Lettuce Gift Cards on your carryout and delivery orders. This feature is exclusively available through our website and the LettuceEats app.

2. Go on a vacay to warmer climates without ever leaving Chicago

Beat the cold and escape to a vacation oasis at these spots – no airplane ticket required! Enjoy a tropical drink or opt for the Hot Buttered Rum at Three Dots and a Dash. You can also pretend you’re in the Mediterranean while enjoying the city views from the enclosed patios at Aba – Chicago, Pizzeria Portofino and Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba!.

3. Get cozy while out and about with your favorite comfort food

Shelter from the cold and satisfy your every craving for meaty, cheesy and fried. From Pickle Fries, Buffalo Chicken Nachos, Burgers and more, RJ Grunts hits the spot. For BBQ goodness and southern comfort head to Bub City. For a childhood favorite with a twist the Lobster Mac & Cheese from Shaw’s Crab House and RPM Seafood’s King Crab Mac & Cheese are every bite delicious and will have you at ultimate comfort.

For the snow day bakers, Wildfire’s recipe for Apple Streusel Pie is not only delicious but will leave your home smelling of cinnamon-y goodness.
