Over the holidays, families finally have time to fritter away. And since it's appropriate to stay home anyway, you can celebrate a long evening of TV with a clear conscience. Five ideas, including movie inspiration.
Christmas and rainy weather - the conditions for a home movie night (or afternoon, or day) are perfect. With the current pandemic situation, there's every reason to stay indoors anyway. Ideas for a family event in front of the TV abound.
1. get dressed up - in sweatpants
2. whether healthy or unhealthy snacks: the main thing is that they are specially prepared.
If you want to go healthier after the Christmas feast and avoid popcorn crumbs, I recommend veggie or fruit sticks. They don't have to come across as boring, either: Arrange motifs with them and the vegetable plate will look spectacular.
3. cushions and tickets for a cinema feeling
Bring out the sofa cushions, bed pillows, blankets, furs and beanbags. Drape everything you can find into a big, cozy lounging and sitting area in front of the TV. Close the curtains or lower the blinds, turn on the Christmas lights and light a few candles if you like.
Small additional idea: Create fictitious tickets for the entrance to the home cinema. All you need is a piece of paper (or cardboard), a pen and scissors. And about five minutes of craft time. The kids will love it.
4. the agony of choosing a film
Finding a film that suits every member of the family is the hardest part. Many a TV night has failed at this task. That would be a shame - we are celebrating the festival of love, after all. Below are some animated movies that have resonated with my family or friends' families.
And then an extra tip: The new Disney animated film "Encanto" has been streaming on Disney+ since December 24. Our movie expert Luca tells you why you're guaranteed to be right with this suggestion in his review. "Encanto" and its music have really enchanted him.
5. put your gadgets aside and watch the movie
Actually, it goes without saying. But precisely because this step is so important, it deserves its own section: put your smartphone away. Far away. Otherwise you can skip points 1 to 4. Enjoy the film - and watch it with a child's eyes.
