  1. For my family movie nights, we move our table and make a make-shift bed with lots of pillows and blankets so that we can all snuggle together while watching a movie.

  2. We grab all of the afghans and pillows we can find and each take our favorite “movie watching spot”.There is usually a yummy treat involved. And until recently my two girls would always bust some cool dance moves during the end credits! Miss that!

  3. Our movie nights involve popping popcorn and hanging out on the couch in our pjs. 🙂

  4. Usually, our family movie nights are a pizza picnic on the floor, which is a big treat in our house 🙂 Sometimes kettle corn and/or ice cream follow…

  5. Movie nights are usually more like movie mornings for us with our toddler who is just getting to see Movies. She loves cuddling with us and laughs out loud and we mostly watch her;)

  6. We love to have a popcorn bar! We set up bags of hot popcorn along with all kinds of toppers like parmesan cheese, raisinets, herbed butter, etc. Everyone makes their customized mix mid-movie. So much fun:)

  7. We use family movie night as an excuse to have a picnic on our living room floor. We order pizza or make a meal of finger foods, lay out a blanket and everyone gets to lounge around eating at their own pace, enjoying the movie and each other's company. Popcorn and movie candy for dessert and it's a perfect night for our family of five!

  8. When my family watches movies, we usually turn off all the lights and enjoy it in the dark. Also, my boys love action movies.

  9. movie night = pizza night at my house. frozen, homemade or delivery… doesn’t matter, but there are always slices of pizza being eaten while watching the flicks!

  10. During the summer months, we love to visit the Drive-in for movie nights. During the colder months we cuddle up at home with popcorn and have movie night!

  11. We love to pull all blankets and pillows from the beds and make a huge cozy area on the living room floor for everyone to sit. We always pop popcorn and set the lights to "theatre lights". (Dimmed low). This is our Friday night family time together with our three little kids.

  12. My husband and our two sons (4 & 19 months) all lay on sleeping bags eat popcorn and have family movie night.

  13. We get the popcorn ready along with something to drink. Turn the lights off, pull the blankets and pillows out so the cats can curl up with us. Stick the movie in the DVD player and enjoy the show

  14. We love to get into our PJ’s, pop some popcorn and lay the sleeping bags out on the floor.

  15. While camping we make popcorn over open coals, set the movie up on a
    DVD player and sit around the warm fire and watch the movie.

  16. We, too, get out an air mattress, pile on the pillows and a couple of blankets. Then we choose a COLOR theme for our treats.Choose one – red, green, blue, brown, white… whatever. Then I think hard to gather treats of all that same color, trying to come up with some healthier treats too, and of course a matching beverage. It’s always fun to see what we come up with for the “color of the night”.

  17. we get out the air mattress and every blanket in the house and all lay on the floor with a giant bag of popcorn and the fire in the background. Of course we add gummy bears to our popcorn!

  19. We lay blankets our on the floor so everyone in the family including the pets can hang out together and watch the movie.

  20. We always pop some popcorn, everyone grabs a favorite blanket and stuffed animal, and we cram into the living room. Since we are a bilingual family, we usually decide if we are watching in German or English that movie night. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  21. Popcorn is a must! But it's always great to have some other special treat to match the theme of the movie!

  22. My family and I watch movies together in our home theater. It’s a wonderful luxury to have, and makes our movie nights that much more special together.

  23. Popcorn is a movie must for us so depending on the movie will depend on the type of popcorn – sweet, salty, buttery, etc. We then have themed candy. We all get our blankets and get the room real dark like a real movie and watch! Always so much fun!

  24. For movie nights we eat popcorn and all huddle together on the couch or even our king size bed at times!

  25. We make whirly popcorn topped with butter and truffle salt. Heaven, you will never go back to theater popcorn again.

  26. We always have to have popcorn with hot chocolate in the winter and a box of candy! In the summer we substitute hot chocolate for lemonade or something cool.

  27. My kids love earning tickets all week long by doing chores and nice things for others. Then Friday night they can cash their tickets in at a little concession stand I set up. They love eating their treats while we have family movie night!

  28. movie night ALWAYS involves popcorn. my kiddo loves to sit and watch a movie with popcorn. plus it helps him hold still and focus. lol 😉
