The Ultimate Hygge Movie Night

Spending time with loved ones is very Hygge. Spending time outdoors is very Hygge. What if you combine them? The result is the ultimate Hygge movie night!

I’m on Day 13 of my 30 days of Hygge Challenge and we are tasked tonight to do a movie night outdoors. There are a few ways you can do this yourself and I’ve listed them below. However, you choose to do your ultimate Hygge movie night, spend that time with your spouse, your family, or a friend. Enjoy the movie. Laugh, cry, cuddle, and take in every moment.

You deserve this time with them!

They deserve this time with you!

Make memories.

I promised you a few different options for the ultimate Hygge movie night. Each one will depend on your budget but anything can work. The basics needs are a movie, outdoors, and your loved ones. Simple.

1. Drive-in Theatre

Do these exist anymore? Some places still have them and are worth trying out for your Hygge movie night. I saw my first Star Wars movie at a drive-in theatre with my family. We drove to the next town over and went to the movies. It was a blast and so different from the normal weekend we had growing up.

2. Pop-Up Drive-in Theatres

In my Canadian city, we have pop-up drive-in theatres in the summer. They are so much fun and can bring back the nostalgia of the traditional drive-in theatre. To find out if there is something like close to you, check out familyfuncanada.com then search for your closest city. If you look for the term “Under the Stars: Outdoor Movies” you should find this year’s summer schedule.

3. Create Your Own Theatre at Home

If you have a projector, speakers, and a sheet you are set for a night of fun! Set up the system in the backyard, using the sheet as your movie screen. Wait until it is dark, cuddle into blankets, and enjoy your ultimate Hygge movie night.

4. The Quick and Easy Hygge Movie Night

Don’t laugh. It is quick and easy. All you need is a tablet, or laptop and a streaming program like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Simple but effective. Just watch prop up the screen of your choice, crank up the sound, and cuddle in your blanket in the comfort of your backyard. Simple and easy to do even during the weekday.

Taking the time to spend these moments with your loved ones is most important for creating this ultimate Hygge movie night. By watching the movie outdoors you are changing up the normal routine and creating memories. These simple movie nights can be stories told by your kids years later as they remember the times we got to stay up late and watch a movie outside. So worth it!
