The countdown to Halloween is on and it's officially less than one week away! That doesn't give us much time to fit in all of our favorite Halloween activities, but we're going to do our best!
One of our favorite things to do to build excitement for an upcoming holiday is to gather together for Family Movie Night. We round up our favorite holiday episodes and movies and watch them together as a family. It's a great way to take a break from the chaotic hustle and bustle of everyday life and celebrate a holiday. Spending time together is what makes it so special!
We're
currently gearing up for Halloween by making our way through our
favorite Halloween episodes and movies. Yummy snacks (and quite
often...pajamas) are necessary. My free time is limited so whipping up
something really quick is essential! (Bonus points if everybody in my
family likes it!)
Our Sweet & Salty Halloween Munch Mix is quick and easy to make and satisfies the family members who crave salt and the family members who have a sweet tooth all at once!
Ingredients:
- 2 bags of microwave popcorn
- 4-8 small bags of Halloween shaped pretzels
- 1 bag of peanut butter chips
- 1 bag of seasonal M&Ms
When
I said it was easy, I really did mean easy! Pop the popcorn, empty the
popcorn into a bowl then mix in all the pretzels, peanut butter chips
and M&Ms. DONE!
Mom Tip: Divide evenly into individual popcorn containers so there isn't any fighting over the popcorn bowl!
{Popcorn containers are from the Target Dollar Spot}
Grab your popcorn and drinks, sit back and get ready for some Halloween entertainment!

Grant and I drew our costume inspiration from Netflix this year! In honor of one of our most favorite shows returning to Netflix exactly one month from today (YAY!!!!) after years of being off the air, we are paying tribute to one of our favorite TV couples. Here's a sneak peek of our #NetflixHalloween costumes:
Stay tuned for our Halloween recap coming up next week. I will be sharing our Netflix-inspired costumes along with Dylan, Lexie, Lily and Liam's costumes and wrapping up all the Halloween fun!

This looks like the perfect movie watching snack to me. Thanks for sharing the list too. I was just wondering what I could find on Netflix that would be new for the girls.
ReplyDeleteVariations of this are my favorite movie treat. I like to just throw some m&ms or candy corn in there- so I like that this is a little more festive! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy boys just think candy comes with popcorn sometimes. I love the idea of mixing in the pretzels! Yum! We'll be doing lots of movies and snacks once it gets too cold outside!
