Cozy Movie Night Essentials:

Here is what you need to make a cozy movie night at home. These items will give your movie night an extra cozy vibe and make your movie night cute and memorable.

When I think of cozy, I think of anything soft, warm, and comfy. A few plush throws and pillows will make your movie night at home extra comfy. If you are setting up for a movie night at home, set out some pillows and throws to make it cozier. It’s such a simple way to make your movie night special.

Popcorn Bowls

You can’t have a movie night without popcorn. These large bowls are perfect for serving popcorn or snacks. Having your own large popcorn bowl will make you feel like you are at a movie theatre and take your movie night up a notch. You could also use these bowls to serve snacks like chips, pretzels, and so much more.

Flameless Candles

If you want to make your movie night extra cozy, try setting up some candles. Candles add a cozy vibe to any room. Just imagine your living room set up with plush throws, lots of pillows, and delicious snacks, then add a few flameless candles. Doesn’t that sound super relaxing and cozy?!

Cute Pajamas

Cute and comfy pajamas are a must for movie night! I found this super cute pajama set (above) on Amazon, and I think they would be perfect for a movie night at home. It is also a cute idea to have all your movie night guests wear their pajamas so everyone is comfortable and cozy.

Movie Night Food:

Snacks are my favorite part of movie night, and I love a good variety. I also like to keep the snacks simple and similar to what you would find at the movie theatre. Here is a list of my favorite movie night snacks. Use this list for ideas of what to buy for your next movie night at home.

  • popcorn (of course)
  • chips
  • pretzels
  • cookies
  • homemade nachos
  • m & m’s
  • sour patch
  • chocolate covered almonds
  • licorice
  • Reese’s peanut butter cups
  • cut-up fruit
  • veggie tray from the grocery store

You could set the snacks out in large bowls (like the popcorn bowls I mentioned under movie night essentials), or you could put all the snacks together and make a charcuterie board. I think either of these ideas would be super cute and add a nice touch to your movie night setup.
