With temporary ice rinks appearing in towns and cities across the UK, the Society of Sports Therapists is reminding people that ice skating can be a dangerous sport.
It warned of a risk of serious injury and advised people take precautions.
It recommends jogging to warm up and avoiding the mulled wine.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said falling over and bumping into people was part of the fun, but there were safety precautions.
The chairman of the society, Prof Graham Smith, told the BBC: "It was not about going 'bah, humbug'. Have fun, but be careful."
