Family Movie Night: How I Survive The Chaos Of The Holidays

December 11, 2018 By Ashley 11 Comments

I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel like I just need to survive the holidays. Between the school programs, extra curricular activities, the shopping, wrapping, decorating, and parties… it can all be very exhausting. 

This time of year is suppose to be all about family and love. But if we aren’t careful we can find ourselves spending less quality time with the ones we love because we are too focused on everything else. So what do we do? 

Family Movie Night: How I Survive The Chaos Of The Holidays

Family Movie Night

This post is sponsored by Movies Anywhere. All opinions are my own.

In our family, once a week, we all get on our pajamas, grab a blanket, and snuggle up in the living room for a movie night. We sing, dance, and laugh along with our favorite movies.

It might not seem like a big deal to some, but it is something everyone looks forward to. Movie nights are how I survive the chaos of the holidays. They are a reminder to us all slow down and be in the moment. 

Family Movie Night

Movies Anywhere is my bestie, my number one, my wing-woman app on family movie night. This bestie doesn’t just hangout at my house though, it goes wherever the wind takes us during the holidays. Whether we are on the road to the grandparents’ house, or to visit friends far away, the kids can each watch a movie on their iPads without any arguing! It is like Christmas magic!  

Family Movie Night

Movies Anywhere is one of my keys to planning the perfect family movie night ever!

How Movies Anywhere Works

Movies Anywhere brings all your movies together in one app. Watch them when and where you want. No service? No problem. Save your movies to your device to watch offline later. 

Family Movie Night

 

When you register with Movies Anywhere, you can connect your iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Amazon, Microsoft, Fandango Now, and Xfinity accounts to have all your movies in one place. The movies are available instantly!

Family Movie Night

One of my favorite features of Movies Anywhere is the ability to start a movie on one device, and finish it on another.

One Account For The Whole Family

Sub-user profiles make it easy for everyone in the family to enjoy the content that is right for them. Under my account, I can create different users and can control what movies in my library they are allowed to view.

    I’d love an app like this that helps me find great movies, and keep them organized in one place. A cold winter night is perfect for snuggling up and watching a good classic!

    I think that is an amazing thing to do! Family movie night seems to me that it allows you all to forget about what might have been a not-so-good day.

    I think we could probably use a movie night or two as well. This should open up a lot of movie options!

    I can see how family movie nights can break up the chaos of the holidays. This is a great idea! Think we need to set aside some time this weekend!

    We haven’t had a family movie night in ages. Movies Anywhere sounds like a great app. I do have multiple subscriptions to different apps and to be able to watch them all through one would be awesome.

    This sounds like the perfect way to unwind. We try to do this a couple times a week, especially during the holidays!

    Movie night! That is a great idea! You don’t need to wait for holidays to organize it. It’s welcome any time. I think I should do it tonight!

    We did a family movie night last night. It was perfect to stop and appreciate a night when we didn’t have anything going on for once.

    I love that this app allows saving to my device to watch later even when offline. This would be really great to keep me entertained while waiting in line at the doctors’ clinic. Yay.
