Best movie night ever? That’s a tall order, but it can be done. I’m here to tell you that all you need is an awesome movie, some tasty snacks, and a comfy couch for the family to have one of the best movie nights ever. See, the thing about movie nights is that it’s not so much the movie and the snacks as it is about being with family. That being said, an awesome movie and some killer snacks can take movie night to the next level, making it the best movie night ever. So we’re going to talk about an epic movie night with great snacks from Pop Secret, Snyder’s-Lance and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.
How to Have the Best Movie Night Ever
At its core, movie night is all about family, so you’ll obviously need the fam. After that, make sure the couches are in order. We like to make sure our couch is extra soft and cozy with a lot of pillows so we can kick back in style while we watch our movie and stuff our faces. Speaking of stuffing face, you’ll want some tasty snacks while you’re camped out on the couch, and of course, you need a great movie.
A Great Spot for Movie Watching
The best movie night ever requires the best viewing ever. We like to use our couch, but you can also do fun stuff like get out the air mattress for some ultra relaxed viewing. Small, indoor tents make great forts for movie viewing as well. If you’re feeling like throwing in an activity, you can build your own fort out of chairs and blankets. That’s always a fun time.
Snacks
Snacks are an absolute must for the best movie night ever. Snacks can make or break movie night, so be sure you get a ton of delicious treats to munch on while you watch your movie. We like a variety of different snacks, so we’ll bust out pop corn, snack crackers, and other crunchy, salty/sweet options. For our most recent movie night, we headed to Walmart to pick up some Pop Secret popcorn and Lance crackers for our movie viewing snacks.
When it comes to popcorn, Pop Secret is our go-to. It’s an easy, fun snack that’s always delicious because it’s made with the highest quality popcorn. My daughter loves the butter, but I’ll sometimes go for one of their other inventive flavors to mix it up a bit. The best part about it is that we can feel good about eating it because of its excellent ingredients. It’s a win all the way around.
In addition to popcorn, we like to snack on Lance crackers. Their delicious varieties are always a welcome addition to our movie nights. They have classic flavors like peanut butter or cheese sandwiched between two cheddar crackers, or you can go with a little more kick and enjoy some sour cream and onion. They’ve been making their sandwiches with two awesome crackers on the outside and great spreads in the middle for over 100 years. AND they have up to 5 grams of protein and NO high fructose corn syrup.
Here are some fun snack bowls that I came up with!
Family Movie Night Snack Bowls
Ingredients:
- Waffle cone bowls
- Your favorite Lance Crackers
- Your favorite Pop Secret popcorn
- Sour Gummy Worms
- Turtle Pieces Ice Cream Topping
There’s no wrong way to make them! We use different size waffle bowls… my wife likes more gummies that turtle pieces and daughter loves extra Pop Secret popcorn. Just have fun!
A Great Movie
Our latest movie night features Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. That’s all it took to make it the best movie night ever for my daughter. She’s a big fan of the Captain Underpants books, so she was stoked to see the movie. It was perfect for me and her mom, too because it’s a family friendly movie. It has a lot of heart and explores the friendship between Harold and George and their connection through a love of writing and creativity. We love to watch movies like this with our daughter because it helps reinforce the values we’ve been trying to teach her since she was a baby. And you can’t beat the talent in the movie with Kevin Hart as the voice of George and Ed Helms as the voice of Captain Underpants and Krupp. It also got A+ reviews and was Certified Fresh by rotten tomatoes, so it’s just plain good in addition to being family-friendly.
The Best Movie Night Ever is Easy with Walmart
We got everything we needed for our best movie night ever at Walmart. Between Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie and some killer snacks from Pop Secret and Snyder’s-Lance, it really was the best movie night ever. My daughter – and her mom and I, for that matter – laughed pretty much from the beginning of the movie to the end. In fact, I don’t think we’ve ever laughed that hard through a movie. It was a great night, and we couldn’t have had a better time.
If you’re looking to have the best movie night ever, head over to Walmart and snag the Captain Underpants movie and some great snacks from Pop Secret and Snyder’s-Lance. You can’t go wrong.
