Ugh, winter! Isn’t that how just about everyone feels around this time of year? The magic of the season is a thing of the past, the cold weather has been happening for far too long, and all we really want to do is cozy up under all the sheets and blankets until it’s time for spring.

But that’s exactly what is so wonderful about winter — the cozying up! The hiding from the elements! The drinking of hot cocoa! The watching of movies!

We say, embrace hygge with a mid-winter party that’s equal parts whimsy and wonderful. We’re talking about an indoor fort party. Is it a little bit ridiculous? Yes, we will not deny it. Is it totally fun? Absolutely. You can get back to adulting on Monday.

Here’s everything you need to make it happen.

Note: You probably already have everything you need to make a respectable blanket fort. But for the purpose of making things match as much as possible (after all, there was a photographer in attendance!), we did a little shopping. Just in case you need to pick up a few things for your own fort — or if you see something you like for non-fort purposes! — we’ve included a complete list of supplies at the end of this story.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
