COZY NIGHTS, CLASSIC FILMS, & SNACKS TO MATCH

From snowy adventures to heartwarming holiday tales, these five films bring the perfect mix of fun and feel-good cheer. Add themed snacks, and you’ve got winter nights covered!
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
Enter a snowy world of talking animals, icy villains, and epic courage. As the Pevensie siblings’ step through the wardrobe, families are reminded of the power of bravery and hope, even in the coldest of times.
Pevensie Peppermint Bark: Swirl white chocolate with crushed peppermint and dust it with silver sprinkles for a frosty, fairytale finish.
The Holiday (2006)
A heartwarming tale of two women swapping homes — and finding love and self-discovery along the way. Set against the cozy backdrop of English cottages and California sunshine, it’s equal parts laughter, romance, and fresh-start inspiration.
Snowy Cheese Board: Crispy crackers, white cheddar, brie, almonds, and sugared cranberries for a chic “holiday getaway” vibe.
Jingle All the Way (1996)
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s hilarious quest for the sold-out Turbo Man doll captures the frenzy —and the fun — of holiday shopping. A comedy of chaos and family love, it’s a lighthearted reminder that the best gifts can’t be wrapped.
Turbo Trail Mix: Combine pretzels, red and green M&M’s, caramel bits, and popcorn for a sweet-and-salty, high-energy snack.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)
Step into Hogwarts for a spellbinding start to the series, filled with snowy castle scenes, enchanted feasts, and friendship. Follow Harry, Hermione, and Ron as they uncover the mystery of the Sorcerer’s Stone and discover their place in a world of magic.
Butterbeer Popcorn: Drizzle caramel popcorn with butterscotch sauce mixed with a hint of vanilla for a cozy, wizard-worthy treat.
The Polar Express (2004)
This animated holiday journey captures the wonder of believing. A young boy’s ride to the North Pole aboard the Polar Express reminds us that magic is real when we choose.
Hot Cocoa Bar: Offer mugs of cocoa with toppings like whipped cream, candy canes, chocolate syrup, and mini marshmallows to sip while the train chugs along.
