There’s something special about a family movie night — no schedules, no screens (besides the big one!), and all the snuggles. Whether you're looking to start a new weekly tradition or just want a low-key night in, here's how to plan a cozy movie night your kids will actually remember.

1. Choose a Crowd-Pleaser

Finding a movie everyone agrees on can be the biggest challenge. Rotate who gets to choose, or create a short list ahead of time. Family favorites like Moana, The Lego Movie, or Encanto are fun, feel-good options. Bonus: use a themed movie night to match your snacks or PJs!

2. Set the Cozy Scene

Turn your living room into the ultimate chill zone. Think: soft lighting (string lights, anyone?), extra pillows, and every blanket in the house. You can even build a DIY “movie fort” with sheets for extra wow factor.

3. Dress for Dreamy Comfort

The best part? Pajamas are the dress code. Let your kids pick out their favorite PJs — or treat them to a fresh set from our new summer collection. Breathable fabrics, soft organic cotton, and playful prints make lounging feel extra magical. (Bonus: you’ll love how they hold up wash after wash.)

4. Make Snacks a Big Deal

Popcorn is essential, but why stop there? Set up a mini snack bar with fun mix-ins like M&Ms, gummy bears, or cinnamon sugar. For something savory, try popcorn with a sprinkle of cheese powder or ranch seasoning. Want to keep it simple? Frozen grapes or fruit kabobs add a healthy touch.

5. Add a Personal Touch

Before the movie starts, have your kids create “tickets” or help set up the snack stand. It adds a little ritual to the night and makes the experience feel even more special. You could even vote on a short “preview” — a silly home video or last year’s vacation photos.

6. Make It a Weekly Tradition

Routine is magic for kids. Designate one night a week as “Family Movie Night” — and name it something fun like “PJs + Popcorn Night” or “Friday Film Fest.” They'll look forward to it all week (and honestly, so will you).

Wrap It Up With Cuddles

After the credits roll, take a few minutes to chat about the movie or read a bedtime story in your cozy setup. It’s the perfect wind-down before bed — especially when everyone’s already in their PJs.
