Winter and Holiday Movies Ambience Ideas
Once and awhile it’s fun to make a movie night special by adding a few touches. This can be done with lighting, food, or even the pajamas you wear. If you make the mood more cozy, it makes movie night even better! You could also use one or more of these ideas for a date night, a girls night, or a family night. Or there’s nothing better than having a movie night as self care.
- Lighting can make the ambience peaceful and welcoming. Try turning off all of the lights or put up warm white copper string lights to keep the mood relaxed. You could also light candles! Candle scents can make the room smell nice, and if you like pine, try my all time favorite pine candle. It seriously smells like you’re in a pine forest. If you’re not big on fragrance, try lighting an unscented candle or a beeswax candle.
- Make popcorn! Pour it into this adorable popcorn bowl! If you want to make it festive, try holiday crunch popcorn. Pop popcorn on the stove, or microwave butter free popcorn. Add 1/3 cup melted white chocolate, 1/3 cup red and green M&Ms, and sprinkles or 1/3 cup marshmallows. Then mix everything together, spread on a baking sheet to dry, and enjoy!
- Wear some cozy pajamas which will help you get comfortable and feel festive! These holidays pajamas from the GAP are so cute and soft! If you want something really soft and luxurious, try these pajamas from Lake. I gifted myself a pair of these and it makes me bedtime routine so cozy.
- Cuddle up under a soft throw blanket! This trendy bubble blanket is so soft and a great price point! These throws also make a nice gift.
- Wear your favorite pair of holiday slippers. We’re sticking to that cozy theme (could you tell? 😅) These Dearfoams slippers from Target are so comfortable and perfect for all winter long.
- Enjoy a glass of wine or make a mocktail. There’s nothing better than finally sitting down to watch a movie with your favorite snacks and a drink! I love these cute candy cane glasses for a mocktail!
- Make sure to grab your favorite snacks or order take out. Eating snacks is one of the best parts of a cozy movie night!
- Make hot chocolate! Holiday or winter themed movies go hand in hand with hot cocoa! Get the Ghirardelli’s Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa 3 lb tin so you can have hot chocolate all winter long! You can also use this cocoa powder for baking. Last year I found this pearlescent luster snowman mug that makes drinking hot cocoa even more festive!
I hope you enjoy your movie night!
