Colonial Williamsburg is open year round! Winter temperatures are still mild compared to many parts of the country … and a visit to Williamsburg during the winter months offers some cozy options. Local eateries combat the chill with home made soups and stews. Brunswick Stew is a favorite! Originally created in 1828, Brunswick Stew continues to prevail as one of the most popular and well liked Stews of the South. Quaint coffee shops offer a warm and yummy retreat as they serve up some creative hot coffees, teas and hot chocolates. GuidetoWilliamsburg asked several locals about how they keep warm during the winter months:

•Gather all the fallen limbs from recent storms and have a really toasty fire in the fireplace! Gather up the kids, pop in a movie, and have a fun family afternoon.

• Go to Panera and sit in front of the fire with a good book!
Terri Lorincz says…
• Lose weight and exercise!
Kristi Ammons says…
•Visit the Chickahominy House for lunch to take in the warm, cozy atmosphere and cuddle up with a delicious cup of Brunswick stew, Virginia ham on hot biscuits, fruit salad and homemade pie.

• I like to take in a movie at The Kimball Theatre. It’s a cold walk outside, but then nice and warm and cozy inside!
