There’s nothing better than finally being able to watch your favorite holiday movies now that December is upon us; even if you’ve been watching them all year long. With the endless possibilities of Christmas movies, there’s always a new one that can possibly become our new favorite.
However, if you’re into the classics or want to watch different movies this year than base it on your favorite holiday treat. There’s a perfect snack for every movie or you can pull a Buddy the Elf and just eat them all in one sitting.
Hot Chocolate: A Charlie Brown Christmas
A classic holiday drink pairs perfectly with a classic holiday movie. If you love a rich hot chocolate with marshmallows on top then watching A Charlie Brown Christmas is the best match for you. This short and sweet segment that only comes on once a year will have you smiling ear to ear while sipping on your cocoa. Not to mention its short run time will keep your hot chocolate from getting too cold while you watch.
Peppermint Bark: Home Alone
Growing up, everyone wanted to make their own homes a huge trap like Kevin Mcallister. That’s why a rich flavor peppermint bark pairs perfectly with these movies. Not only will you be munching on peppermint bark through the entirety of the movie, but it also gives you an excuse to buy more since there’s a second movie.
Holiday Candy: Elf
If you can’t wait for the holidays because of the candy renditions companies incorporate into their products then Elf is a perfect match for you. Whether it be peppermint and chocolate Hershey Kisses, red, green, and white candy corn, or even the Christmas tree Peeps then you relate to Buddy on a very personal level. Grab all your favorite treats and binge like Buddy, while watching this heartfelt classic.
Candy Canes: The Santa Clause
Whether you can eat through a whole box of them or if you solely eat them when there’s nothing else around the house, candy canes are inevitable to avoid during the holiday season. As inevitable as the minty treat, your Christmas watch list isn’t complete without at least one Santa movie like Tim Allen in The Santa Claus.
Eggnog: Miracle On 34th Street
Eggnog can be a controversial drink. Some can’t get enough while others never want to hear about it again. To those who do enjoy eggnog, try watching Miracle on 34th Street while you’re at it. Not only do you like what most people don’t, but you also aren’t afraid to watch something that isn’t in your Christmas movie lineup.
Gingerbread Cookies: The Polar Express
Despite us going growing up, The Polar Express reminds us all of the magic of Christmas. A beloved holiday treat, gingerbread cookies all remind us of when we were young. Whether it be making the best gingerbread houses with gumdrop ceilings, or decorating our very own gingerbread men, this classic sweet cookie is the perfect to snack on while watching this movie.
Pillsbury Snowman Cookies: Frosty The Snowman 1969
The Pillsbury cookies are a favorite amongst all holidays so there’s no doubt they should be a staple during the holidays. Apart from having a reindeer and tree design, they also have a snowman one. Watch Frosty come to life in the 1969 version of Frosty the Snowman while enjoying a batch, or two, of his cookies.
Trendy Holiday Treats: Dr. Suess’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas
If you prefer to ditch the traditional and try something new each season, then your whimsical attitude and innovative treats match the world of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You might try polar bear cookies, Christmas tree brownies, or go out on a limb and make your own gingerbread house structure which separates you from the rest, just like the Grinch.
No matter what our favorite holiday movie is, it’s never complete without our favorite snack. There’s a treat, and movie, for everyone. If you’re more into traditional movies accompanied by a simple hot chocolate, or if you’re adventurous and make your own treats each year. There’s no reason to be snack-less for the holidays.
