Family Movie Nights are near and dear to my heart and these evenings do not have to be over the top! I do not often get to gather my family around for Family Movie NIght since my kids are getting a bit older now and really do not want to spend time with my husband and me! LOL! But, when I make Family Movie Night a bit more special, I can get my kiddos to sit and watch a movie with us.

Did you know that THE CROODS: A NEW AGE debuted at the number 1 spot on the watched at home top 20 list this week!? We will be watching The Croods: New Age for our Family Movie Night this weekend!

A Croods Hot Chocolate & Treats Tray

 ♥ A Treats Tray – gather together a few of your family’s favorite treats and snacks and put them on a board or tray. It literally takes about five minutes to create! But, it is the easiest way to make Family Movie Night special!

♥ A Hot Chocolate Station - Heat up some milk in the microwave, drop in a hot chocolate stick, stir in all your add-ins and go grab a seat for a Family Movie Night!

What You Will Need:

HOT CHOCOLATE STATION

Fun cups or mugs: the cheerier the better!
Hot Chocolate Sticks: – I always buy plenty to last the entire year
Marshmallows: I get mini, big, pink, green, yellow - whatever fun marshmallows I can find!
Whipped Cream - if you have kids, you always have whipped cream!

Nutella - My kids love to add a tablespoon of Nutella to their hot chocolate - TRY IT!

Vanilla Extract - just a drop or two - make it so much more delicious!

Cinnamon - Just a shake or two - add just the right amount of YUM!

TREATS TRAY

Snacks & Treats - All your favorites (i try to purchase treats and snacks that we don't normally have. It makes it more special if the family rarely has these snacks and treats).

Waffle Cones - I love to have waffle cones to put the snacks and treats in!

I also added some fun Croods: New Age toys to the little area I created for our Croods Hot Chocolate & Treats Tray is to make Family Movie Night feel very celebratory. Hopefully, if I’m lucky, I can get my kiddos to enjoy some fun and games after the movie!! My kids are ruthless to my husband and I when we play Monopoly!

We will be enjoying countless cups of hot chocolate this weekend at home during this very cold winter weekend!!

What are your plans for this weekend? ❄️🌬️🥶

I created some printables to go along with The Croods: New Age Family Movie Night and Hot Chocolate & Treats Tray

The Croods: A New Age is all about the Crood collective attempting to embrace a newer, easier, and potentially more civilized kind of life, despite their reservations about how all the new technology — and Hope and Phil Betterman's smug attitude about it — could create distance between them.

The Croods: A New Age is the sequel to 2013's The Croods, which centered on a family of Neanderthals trying to survive the elements. This film focuses on Eep's romance with Guy and her dad Grug's worries about losing his daughter. While the clan faces all kinds of perilous moments, most of them are over-the-top and slapstick -- fending off wild beasts is just another day in this family's life.
