HOLIDAY TRADITIONS | SPREAD THE SPIRIT
MAKE IT MOVIE NIGHT
Many people have turned going to the theater into a Christmas Day tradition.
Hollywood has noticed, holding many major blockbusters for around the holiday season.
I

releases, why not host a holiday movie
night from the comfort of your own home?

Enjoying the classic holiday films of our
time is a great way to spend time together with
friends and family members.

ers and drinks. Just make sure you plan accord-

party into a game of sorts, full of pauses to answer
questions about upcoming scenes or about factual
tidbits on the movie’s star actor.

them battle it out for a prize. Add a scoreboard on
a dry-erase board to keep track of points.
Your friends and family members will admire
your creativity, and your holiday movie party will
become a must-attend for years to come.

guests can’t stay for that long, choose one.
Poll your guests ahead of the party to gauge
their interests in film options. Are they in the mood
for slapstick holiday humor or a sentimental tear-

Keep you guests waiting in anticipation until
you hit play and watch their faces as they start
quoting their favorite parts before the movie even
starts.
