Winter is here, and that means that everyone in Malta is feeling the chill in their bones. With our homes being literal humidity traps, we have had to resort to some unusual ways to combat the cold. From adding on layer upon layer to some not-so-environmentally friendly methods, the Maltese will do anything to not get frosty. 

Let’s take a look at the top seven ways almost everyone has done at least once in the hopes of feeling warmer this season.

1. Wearing fuzzy socks 

There is nothing worse than having freezing cold feet. Tummy aches, gas, and an all-around cold feeling are just inevitable if you leave your feet bare. That’s why snuggling up with a thick pair of fuzzy socks is the first thing you should do as soon as you get home. 

2. Wrapping up in lożor tal-flanella 

Creating your very own cocoon of blankets is the best way to go about keeping warm. Layers upon layers of these iconic fleecy blankets will undoubtedly keep you dreaming of your bed the whole day. Snuggle up and cosy up with some lożor tal-flanella.

3. Donning a house robe 

Wrapping up in a million and one layers is crucial when it comes to surviving Malta’s winters. The iconic house robe is definitely part of everyone’s wardrobe and a staple pyjama item. Snuggling up on the sofa with your fleecy house robe is arguably the only way you can relax. 

4. Wearing outdoor clothes inside 

Now, this one’s a weird one, but a lot of people wear beanie’s, scarves, and other outdoor clothing inside. We may look weird as hell to anyone looking in, but those extra layers really do keep you warm and cosy. 

5. Using the oven as a fireplace 

Hitting two birds with one stone is what the Maltese are all about. That’s why keeping the oven open once you’re done cooking up some mqarrun il-forn and using that heat to keep you warm is a great way to keep the cold away. Plus, you’ll make your whole kitchen smell scrumptious. 

6. Showering exclusively with scalding hot water

This one may be the least environmentally friendly one, but showering with only hot water is another way we combat the cold. Getting the bathroom all hot and steamy before you even start getting ready to shower means that there’s no way you’re going to feel nippy for even a second. 

7. Consuming a lot of hot beverages 

Last but not least, we have a continuous stream of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate which are always being brewed to keep your insides warm. Getting all wrapped up in clothes and a lot of layers work, but sometimes, you just need that extra something to warm you up from the inside.
