Tips for a Perfect Easter Movie Night

Want to make your Easter movie night extra special? Here are a few ideas to help you create a cozy, fun, and memorable experience:

• Make a themed snack – Think bunny-shaped cookies, pastel-colored popcorn, or jellybean brownies. It’s a small touch that can make the night feel more festive.
• Get cozy with blankets and pillows – Turn your living room into a mini theater with cushions, blankets, and maybe even a few Easter decorations.
• Do a movie bracket – Let the kids vote on which movie to watch next. It’s a fun way to get everyone involved and keeps the peace when there’s disagreement.
• Pair it with a post-movie activity – Try drawing scenes from the movie, making Easter cards, or even reenacting parts with stuffed animals.

And if the movie doesn’t go quite as planned—maybe someone gets too excited or the snacks run out early—don’t stress. It’s all part of the fun.
