Follow these steps to have an amazing movie night filled with holiday cheer:
1. Decorate your house/ apartment The simple task of putting up decorations makes a huge difference in creating the effect of a perfect holiday movie night. Make it a date beforehand to decorate! For me, I set up my christmas tree and the area around my TV to enhance the holiday spirit. It makes it a more cozy environment and in general, elevates happiness. |
2. Bake or buy a sugary snack
There once was a saying that stated "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." I don't know about you, but the way through ANY heart is food, so why not bake some delicious treats? My personal favorites are brownies (baked by moi) and gingerbread cookies (bought from Trader Joe's). But there are plenty of items for you to choose from!! There's christmas cookies, peppermint bark, candy canes, and many other christmas treats to eat. Just make sure not to eat too much that can lead to a stomach ache...

4. Put on your ugly Christmas sweater What's a holiday movie night without wearing an ugly Christmas sweater? A god-awful movie night, that's what. But no fear! There is, however, the issue of price involved but there is always the option of an DIY sweater. Here I have pictured with my christmas sweater which cost me no more than $15 from target! Plus, it always makes for a good laugh whether it be with your friends or family. |
5. Pick your top 3 favorite Holiday movies to watch! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Without a movie to watch, this perfect movie night would not be "oh so perfect"... Need help picking out movies? Feel free to ask me on any suggestions! The holiday season is one of my favorites because of the selection of films to watch. My personal favorite is "Love Actually"- be aware this film does include nudity. |
6. Bring some blankets and get cozy with your friends/ family Lastly, grab some blankets (preferably cozy ones) and lay on the couch with your friends and/or family! It's nice to get comfortable in the environment where you feel most comfortable so make sure wherever this place is, it is somewhere you want to be. At this time, you can begin playing the movie and enjoy your perfect holiday movie night. |
Whether it be a reunion or just another hang-out, movie nights always call for a good time. Especially around this time of year, being surrounded by family and friends is the best opportunity one can get so make it EXTRA special.
