Hosting The Best Holiday Movie Party This Season

Premiere Outdoor Movies • November 20, 2019

With the holiday season upon us, nothing is cozier than a great holiday movie, hot cocoa, and time together with family and friends! Taking the time to plan a day doing just that is more simple than it seems. Follow these easy steps to plan a holiday get together to remember.

Hosting The Best Holiday Movie Party This Season

  • Choose The Perfect Movie. Consider the audience and then plan the movie around that. Is your audience a younger crowd or perhaps into classics? Movies such as Elf, The Santa Clause, The Grinch, The Polar Express, Miracle on 34th Street. There are so many options available to suit whatever audience you have attending.
  • Suggest An Attire For Your Party. The holidays are a great time to stay in pajamas or comfy clothes for the day, even if its party day! Ask your guests to choose their favorite loungewear to attend a day of comfort at your party. Even better if the pajamas or outfits are holiday-themed. Another option is the popular "ugly sweater" theme. All the guests in attendance have no choice but to show up wearing their best, or worst, ugly Christmas sweater. An extra fun idea for your party is to offer a prize for the best dressed!
  • Decorations . Decorating for your party doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. String lights can go a long way to make things festive. Wrap candles in festive ribbons, wrap gifts early or wrap empty boxes or leave ornaments placed around food or beverage areas to make areas more cheerful.
  • Food. Again, food options for your holiday movie get-togethers are endless. A popcorn bar is a must for movie night but keep in mind other holiday favorites such as cookies, a cheese ball with crackers or a nut assortment. Easily pair these snacks with other comport food such as crockpot mac-n-cheese or a nice pot of your favorite seasonal soup.
  • Drinks. Water, soft drinks, and juices are always safe options for any age group and don't forget the hot cocoa. There are plenty of seasonal cocktails or holiday punch recipes that you can find online that will pair perfectly with your event.
  • Movie Screen. Premiere Outdoor Movies provides inflatable movie screens for every size event. Each of our exclusive movie packages includes a professional sound system, premiere quality projector system, top quality AV electronics, and a specialized event crew. If you live in a colder northern area, the large indoor screens provide plenty of screen surface that everyone will have a great view. If you live in Florida we can make sure your outdoor movie event is perfect!
