Christmas Movie Night Party Ideas

What’s the Project? This fun Christmas movie night party is filled with ideas for you to enjoy with any movie that you’re watching! Christmas games, treats, decorations and everything you need for a fun holiday movie night party.

It’s that time of year that is full of traditions that kids will remember forever! One of my family’s very favorite things to do during the holiday season is to have a holiday movie night. We usually plan one at the beginning of December and then we have so much fun doing it, that we end up doing several more before the season ends. To make your holiday movie extra fun I have put together a bunch of great Christmas Movie Night Party Ideas!

Honestly, just writing this post is getting me so excited for the holiday season and a movie night party with my family! You could do a small party with just your kids or grandkids, or invite over a bunch of friends and make it extra special. Either way, here are some ideas to get you going!

Red and Green Napkins
Party Favors
Christmas Candy
Reindeer Treat Cups

Kids Christmas Movie Trivia

Let’s break it down.

Christmas Movie Night Food:

Santa Suit Drinks:

Supplies Needed:

Chinet® Cut Crystal® 14oz. Cup
Black tape (I used electrical tape)
Silver glitter paper or foam
Hot glue gun/glue
Red drink

Instructions:

Wrap one piece of black electrical tape around your cup. Cut a square from your silver glitter foam or paper. Cut out the center as well to make it look like a belt buckle. Glue this in place. Fill our cup with red drink and you are all set! Santa suit drinks for everyone.

Reindeer Treat Cups:

Love how these cute little guys add a touch of fun to the party! And they are so easy to make!

Supplies Needed:

Chinet® Cut Crystal® 14oz. Cup
Brown Pipe Cleaner
Red pom poms
Googley Eyes
Hot Glue Gun/Glue
Popcorn to put in them (see recipe below)

Instructions:

Cut a piece of pipe cleaner in half. Twist it around a little to make it look like an antler. Cut two more small pieces and twist them on to make a three-pronged antler horn. Hot glue pipe cleaner to the inside of the cup. Hot glue eyes and pom pop for the nose. Fill with chocolate popcorn!

Chocolate Reese’s Popcorn Recipe:

Ingredients:

Popcorn
1/2 C Karo syrup
1 and 1/3 C sugar
1/4 C cocoa
2 sticks of butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag miniature wrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Instructions:
Pop the popcorn and pour it into a very large bowl. If you need to, split it between 2 bowls.

Combine karo, sugar, cocoa, butter and vanilla in a saucepan and heat until they boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 90 seconds and then remove from the heat.

Now, work fast. Pour the chocolate mixture over your popcorn. Using a wooden spoon, stir it quickly to coat all of the popcorn. Once it has cooled a little bit add your Reese’s to the popcorn.

And then try not to eat the whole bowl.

Elf and Santa Suit Cupcakes:

Ingredients:

Cupcakes
Red/Green Frosting (I just got store bought frosting and food coloring)
Black food coloring gel
Silver glitter foam

Instructions:

Frost your cupcakes in red or green. I like to do this by warming the frosting for about 10 seconds and then dipping the cupcakes in. Allow it to dry. Pipe on a black belt. Cut your glitter foam into squares and then cut out the center to create belt buckles. Stick this on to the frosting and you’ve got a cute and simple holiday cupcake! I served them on a pretty Chinet® Cut Crystal® plate with a red and green napkin under them and it was perfect.

Christmas Movie Night Games:

Christmas Movie Bingo:

Once your boards are printed, watch your movie and watch for the little symbols on the board. When you see one, put a marker on it. When you get 5 in a row you get Bingo!

This is a fun game for before the movie. While you sit at the table and eat treats you can ask the kids to answer these questions!
