How I Met Your Mother is one of those amazing comfort watches that reminds people of their friends and the good times they had with them. The story of these five best friends as they navigated life was filled with quirky traditions, games, and recurring plans.
The gang of How I Met Your Mother definitely knew how to celebrate, and they began and continued many amazing holiday traditions over the course of the show. Fans of the show should definitely steal some of their ideas to celebrate the own holidays while also honoring the series they love.
10 Babysit Your Niece/Nephew With Your Best Bro
Like Barney and Ted, babysit one of your nieces or nephews to get an idea of what it'd be like to spend the holidays with a "family" that includes your best bro and a baby.
And like Ted and Barney, you will mostly come to understand that maybe this was not the best of ideas. Regardless, it'll still be a fun thing to do with your best bro, and a way to make the holiday season more fun.
9 Pretend To Not Know The Score Of The Recorded Game, And Hang Out With Your Friends
Sometimes it's just not possible to not find out the score of the game that happened the previous night. It's hard to not watch something spoiler-free.
But like the gang, try your best. You will inevitably fail but there's always the amazing food to share, and the simple joys of just sitting around the television and hanging out with your best friends.
8 Make Sure You Avoid The Curse Of The Blitz
As the fans of the show are sure to remember, the Blitz would just leave things early and miss epic events and adventures that happened just after he had left.
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is going to be at an all-time high during the holiday season so make sure you don't miss any crazy adventures your friends are going to have by leaving early. You may not know the actual character from the show, but your group of friends probably has a Blitz of its own.
7 Go To A Bar That Reminds You And Your Friends Of Home
Sometimes people get really homesick around the time of the holidays. And Marshall understood this was happening to Robin so he brought her to a Canadian bar so that she could feel a little less homesick.
It was an incredibly sweet gesture and something to definitely try out especially if you or your friend are away from home during the holidays.
6 Take A Limo Ride And Hit All The Parties Before Celebrating With Just Your Best Friends
Like the gang realized as the new year was drawing close, even after hitting all the best parties in the city, the best way to celebrate such an event was just to be with their best friends, toasting to their friendship.
But the limo ride and the incredible adventure that follows after attending the different parties, and the final small celebration together is one of the best ways to ring in the new year.
5 Open A Bar With Your Best Friend
Mostly everyone has had this dream of opening a bar with their best friend. Ted and Barney almost manage to pull it off too.
They end up realizing how difficult it actually is and have to give it up. But Puzzles was real if only for a moment and it seemed like a whole lot of fun to run a bar with your best bro as well.
4 Put Up Christmas Lights Everywhere To Help A Friend Get Through The Holidays
Sometimes people get really upset during the holidays, and they just don't want to talk about it. But you can always help them by just being there for them and attempt to cheer them up in any way possible.
Ted does this for Robin when he thinks she's missing Canada. He puts up Christmas lights everywhere in the apartment and puts up a small light show just for her.
3 Pick Up Your Better Half From The Airport With A Six-Pack Or A Marching Band
Lily and Marshall have some of the sweetest and cutest traditions on the show. They are incredibly affectionate and love showing it as well. Whenever they meet each other at the airport, they have their own small tradition that they always do.
Once, they almost decide not to, but they realize that these sweet gestures mean a lot to both of them and hence they just continue doing them always. It's perfect for trips on the holidays.
2 Sit On The Terrace And Wait For Your Slutty Pumpkin
Quite early on in the show, fans get a glimpse of Ted's earnest attempts to once again meet the "slutty pumpkin" who had given him her number years back which he lost accidentally. He sits on the terrace in the cold and just waits in hope of her turning up again for the party.
Even after everyone else left and it had become incredibly late, Ted just sits around because even though he knew there really was no chance that the love of his life would just walk in, it was still as good a place as any to just sit and wait.
1 Celebrate Every Holiday Like It's Slapsgiving
There is nothing more legen-wait-for-it-dary in HIMYM than the slap bet and slapsgiving. The sheer excitement and enthusiasm the gang shares for something as stupid as watching Barney get slapped is the right amount of excitement and enthusiasm required to celebrate the holidays.
It is the ability to make light of serious situations and making great fun of extremely frivolous situations that will help enjoy the holidays in the best way possible.
