Do you ever think about what you will eat while watching a movie? Once a month we get a local flyer in the mail that has short articles about new shops in town, coupons for restaurants, and different ads. Sometimes I find an interesting article, but most of the time the content is boring. This month I came across a spectacular piece which inspired this post: my favorite Christmas movie dinner pairings.

What to Eat while Watching Christmas Movies
Home Alone
“Pizza Pizza!” and “Look what you did you little jerk,” are two iconic quotes from one of my most adored movies of all time:Ā Home Alone. I mean, I watched it during both every one of my labor and deliveries after all.Ā When we lived in Georgia there weren’t any good pizza places nearby, so we started making our own pizzas! Obviously we make homemade pizza while watching Home Alone.
The Santa Clause
Even though poor Scott Calvin destroys their Christmas Eve dinner, I still imagine my family eating mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, and little dinner rolls while watchingĀ The Santa Clause.Ā If you’re not in the mood for a big meal, you can make Judy the Elf’s hot cocoa with a side of sugar cookies.
Christmas Vacation
Whether it’s the cat food in green jello or the fried turkey, if you want to pair something withĀ Christmas VacationĀ I would steer clear of food from the movie. Eggnog canĀ be your go-to instead. Here are The Best Uses for Eggnog, Besides Drinking ItĀ for some ways to eat your Eggnog. Since I don’t like Eggnog, I would prefer to make martinis (like Ellen’s Mom) and whip up a few appetizers or a charcuterie board.
Elf
My two year old is the only one who would actually eat spaghetti with syrup and candy like Buddy. Unless you are an elf like her, why not enjoy meatballs and tomato sauce with your spaghetti while watching Elf? An Italian themed night with your favorite red wine pairs best with Elf. Have a sweet tooth? Enjoy a side of Pop Tarts or an ice cream sundae for dessert!
This is such a fun and creative post! I agree with all of them!
