When the leaves start to turn and the air feels crisp, there’s nothing better than snuggling up at home for a cozy family movie night. Fall naturally lends itself to slowing down, gathering together, and creating simple traditions that make memories. And let’s be honest—few traditions are better than a blanket, a big bowl of popcorn, and your favorite fall film playing on the TV.
If you want to take your family movie nights to the next level this season, we’ve rounded up our 6 Simply Sales finds that will make your evenings extra cozy and unforgettable. From snacks to seating, these essentials will have you wishing every night was movie night.
A family movie night isn’t complete without a mountain of cozy blankets. Fall is the perfect time to add some new throws to your living room—think chunky knits, sherpa-lined fleece, or even heated blankets for extra chilly evenings.
Why They’re a Must-Have:
Movie Spiffs: Amazon has tons of budget-friendly, stylish throws in fall colors like burnt orange, mustard, and deep forest green. Also, here are some cute storage baskets so you can keep DVD’s corralled between movie nights.
Movie night without popcorn? We can’t even imagine it! Sure, microwave bags work in a pinch, but a dedicated popcorn maker makes the experience feel special. Plus, it’s more affordable in the long run, and you can control the toppings (hello, cinnamon sugar popcorn for fall!).
Why They’re a Must-Have:
Movie Spiffs: Adding anything from old-school stovetop poppers to air poppers and even mini theater-style popcorn machines. Add in flavor shaker kits or popcorn seasoning packs!
Every great movie night needs snacks—but you don’t want everyone fighting over one giant bowl. Reusable snack bowls and cups are a lifesaver. They keep serving sizes fair, minimize spills, and make clean-up easy.
Why They’re a Must-Have:
How to Style:
Movie Spiffs: Add snack bowl sets, tumblers, and cute fall-themed silicone molds. Seasonal touches make these family nights unforgettable.
Want to turn an ordinary living room movie into a cinematic experience? The right tech makes all the difference. A good soundbar creates crisp, clear audio while a portable projector lets you take movie night outdoors under the stars.
Why They’re a Must-Have:
Movie Spiffs: Here are some affordable, family-friendly Amazon projectors (some under $100!) and sleek soundbars. Pair with a projector screen or even a plain white sheet for outdoor viewing.
Popcorn might be the star, but fall is the perfect excuse to bring in some themed snacks and drinks. Think caramel apple slices, pumpkin spice trail mix, or hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Snack Ideas to Try:
Movie Spiffs: Spritz up your space with tiered serving trays, insulated mugs, and hot chocolate bomb kits to make snack time extra special.
Let’s be real—movie night feels 10x better when everyone’s in cozy pajamas. Matching family sets are especially fun in the fall, with prints like pumpkins, football, or Halloween themes.
Why They’re a Must-Have:
