Planning your long weekend at the last minute? No problem!
The long weekend is the perfect time to take a break from the stress of a busy week. Relax, and spend time celebrating with family and friends. In need of some easy, low-key activities you can do for the long weekend? Check out our top 5 ideas for last-minute fun - no preparation needed!
1. Host an outdoor movie night
Set up a projector in your backyard and enjoy movie night under the stars! You don't need anything fancy - just hang a light-colored sheet or tablecloth from a clothesline and you're ready to go! Plug your air-popper into an outdoor extension cord to keep the popcorn coming all evening long - this Coors Light-branded air popper even has a built-in butter warmer to melt your butter while the popcorn pops.
Fill up a cooler with ice and your favorite drinks for so anyone can grab a cold soda or beer whenever they like. The giant 85-can ice chest from Coca-Cola even has a built-in bottle opener so you don't need to worry about finding (or losing!) any extra gadgets outside.
2. Hit the open road for an overnight camping trip!
What better way to enjoy the long weekend than to spend it outdoors? Just throw everything you need in the car and hit the road. Using a thermoelectric cooler in place of an ice chest to keep your food cold will save you tons of room when packing your vehicle.
Koolatron's 12V coolers plug right into your car so you don't have to stress about ice melting or food getting warm and can spend more time enjoying the scenery!
3. Spend a day at the beach.
Take the family out to a nearby beach to enjoy the sunny weather and swimming activities. Fill up the Corona 13L Ice Chest with Bottle Opener and take it with you for all the drinks and snacks you'll need.
This retro-style ice chest will have you looking chic on the beach while also providing you with the space you need. Beach days provide all around fun for the family and is great for a long weekend activity.
4. Host a backyard BBQ.
What's a long weekend without a good barbecue and lots of yummy food? Invite some friends over and host a backyard barbecue!
Throw some hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill and use Koolatron’s TravelSaver 12V Cooler Warmer to keep your drinks cold while you chat with friends and enjoy being outside. This cooler has a two-way design making it perfect for your BBQ party needs.
5. Family game night with sundae bar
Rainy weather in the forecast? Stay in and have a family game night! Play some board games, solve puzzles, or even compete and quiz each other with trivia questions. And if things get a bit heated, cool down with ice cream sundaes!
You can make the night extra fun by making your own ice cream for a treat the whole family will love. With a countertop ice cream maker all you have to do is add your ingredients and turn it on for delicious, homemade ice cream - no ice, salt, or pre-freezing required! Set out an assortment of sauces and toppings for a DIY sundae bar that the whole family will love!
