Like the rest of the country, winter has settled in Cox’s Bazar, bringing the charm of BBQ nights. Families and friends gather on rooftops and various outdoor spots to host barbecue parties, grilling chicken, fish, and occasionally beef as they relish the cold winter evenings.

With schools and colleges on vacation, many have returned to spend time with their families. While some are focused on family bonding, others are reconnecting with old friends, finding nostalgia in BBQ gatherings. These moments are filled with laughter and memories as people revisit their childhoods, sharing stories and reliving old times.

Organizing a BBQ requires teamwork, with everyone pitching in and sharing tasks. The joy of collaboration and the aroma of freshly grilled food add to the excitement. Young people, in particular, are drawn to the fun and camaraderie of these barbecue nights, making it a favorite winter activity in Cox’s Bazar.
