When the holiday season shows up on the calendar, there’s no better way to enjoy the cold weather than by cozying up on the couch to watch some of your favorite Christmas movies. It’s easy to treat yourself, your family, and your close friends to some holiday magic. Simply queue up your favorite movies on Netflix or other streaming service, grab a stack of cozy blankets, and of course, you can’t forget to stock up on snacks. We’ve got some expert tips to make your viewing experience extra festive—and delicious!

Streaming with the Family

There’s no shortage of holiday movies that are perfect for enjoying with your family (even if the kids are all grown up!) When you’re streaming Christmas movies with the family, you’ll want to have some easy snacks everyone can help themselves to.

Watching a classic like A Christmas Story or It’s a Wonderful Life? Match the theme with a classic fireside favorite like nuts. Your family will love digging into our Sweet & Salty Nut Sampler or Savory & Spicy Nut Sampler while they watch, and there are plenty of flavors in each of these gifts to please everyone on the couch.
