What do you do most in winter?

 

Winter is fast approaching...

 

And with it comes the desire to slow down, curl up on the sofa, and enjoy being indoors.

At Square's International, we are always interested in the relationship each person has with their home.

So we asked you THE big question of the month:

What do you do most in winter?

You answered our “Winter cocooning” quiz... and your answers spoke to us.

✨ Here's what YOU do most when the temperatures drop.

 

1. Your favorite mood in winter

Staying under a blanket watching a series — 43%

You are officially Team cozy, Netflix, blanket & hot chocolate.

 

Next come:

  • 29% love going out for a winter walk
  • 14% prefer brunch with friends
  • 14% opt for a 100% chill day at home

What can we take away from this?

You like to enjoy being indoors, comfort, and coziness.

And that's exactly what we love to create with you.

 

2. Your essential drink

Perfect match ❗

Hot chocolate: 43%

Caramel/vanilla latte: 43%

A team that loves gourmet & comforting winter treats

Matcha (0%) remains off the table this season,

and mulled wine comes in at a modest 14%.

 

3. Your favorite spot at home

The sofa wins hands down: 60%

It's your winter headquarters, your ultimate comfort zone ❄️

Behind it:

  • The kitchen — 20%
  • The bedroom — 20%
  • The office — 0% (and we don't judge you!)

 

4. Your cozy activity

Reading a good book — 50%

Reading remains your favorite ritual for winter evenings.

Next:

  • Cooking — 33%
  • Doing nothing (and that's OK) — 17%
  • Binge-watching — 0% (surprising but true)

 

5. Your relationship with your home

Two strong trends:

Redesign for more coziness — 50%

Spend more time with family — 50% ❤️

A warm, gentle winter focused on home life.

 

6. As the holidays approach...

Stay warm at home — 50%

Preparing Christmas gifts — 50%

No one voted for ice skating or Christmas markets —

This winter, it's clearly all about cocooning.

 

In short

You love comfort, warmth, and spending time at home.

Whether you're Team Blanket or Team Holiday Planning,

you make winter a season for savoring & getting together.

And at Square's International, that's what we love to see.
