Thanks to Tampico for sponsoring this fun movie night post.
Our family loves having movie nights at home. Whether we are re-watching a movie we’ve seen a dozen times, or watching a movie for the first time, it’s the one time of the week that we can all just relax and enjoy time together. Along with watching the movie we will often play a game or two and have popcorn as we cuddle under blankets in our darkened living room.
Since movie nights are my favorite night of the week, I sometimes like to make them a little more special with decorations or fun snacks. This week, I decided to surprise my boys with a fun celebration in honor of the new family film, DreamWorks The Boss Baby. The movie doesn’t come out in theaters until the end of this month, but I was inspired to create a fun family movie night. I thought it would be fun to put a tray of snacks together and let my children be “the bosses” and pick the movie we’d watch.
If you know me, you know that as much as I love celebrations and parties, I love keeping it simple. This movie night can be put together in just 10 minutes once you have everything you need!
I chose to add in some {baby} blue colored elements including a blue bucket for the popcorn, blue and white chevron straws, a blue serving tray and individual cups that were blue with white polka dots.
To drink I served little cups of Tampico juice drink. As I’ve shared many times previously, Tampico is their favorite drink to pair with everything from movie night snacks to their sandwich at lunch.
For snacks we had cookies, popcorn and strawberries. If you watch the trailer for DreamWorks The Boss Baby movie you will see why I chose to add cookies to this movie night. My boys really laughed at the cookie scene in the trailer so I thought it would be fun to recreate it during our movie night :)
Popcorn is our usual go-to movie snack but I fancied it up a bit for this movie night. I mixed plain popcorn with a bit of blue decorating icing and separated them into little cups. I then sprinkled them with crushed blue and white candies.
Everything was put on a tray for easy serving and to keep any spills contained.

This looks like the perfect movie night! My kids love crawling in bed with us for movie nights. We have to take intermissions for snacks and drinks, otherwise they’d make a big mess in our bed.

This looks awesome. That Tampico looks really yummy, what a fun idea for family movie night!
Great idea for movie night! I love what you did to the popcorn and the fruit punch looks delicious! Yum!

That looks like a nice batch of snacks. Snacks are key for movie night.
What a cute idea for a movie night! I have never heard of the drink but it looks good! This whole set up is SO much fun! :)
I love popcorn too. I always crave it when we watch a movie. I love all these snacks for a good movie night.

I don’t know what my kids would be more excited about- the tampico or the popcorn?! I love the cute snack setup you prepared for your movie night- I am going to have to copy it and try it with my kids this weekend!
This is a great set up for watching The Boss Baby. I will have to look for Tampico this week.
I will have to try making this popcorn. It looks delicious and so does the Tampico juice drink.
This is perfect for movie night. Popcorn is always a big hit. The Tampico juice drink is sure to be a favorite.
My kids have been taking about this movie. I will have to pick up what I need for our family movie night.
Oooh, I love fruit punch. This looks like a perfect movie night snack tray. It’s got all of the bases covered. I’ll be right over, heh
Family movie nights are the best. I don’t believe I’ve tried the Tampico beverage before. I’ll have to grab some and try it. I’m sure my girls will love it.
