If the group votes to spend Galentine's Day sipping and savoring, enjoy a wine tasting. Each friend can pair their fave glass of wine with different chocolates and share their thoughts with the group. Or, if dancing is on everyone’s mind, consider taking a virtual dance class where the squad can learn some smooth moves to show off on TikTok.

Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently recommends celebrating holidays virtually as the safest possible choice, you already know the location will be everyone’s individual homes.
