Summer is in full effect and there’s nothing quite like an outdoor movie night to bring your family together. Scroll through to find all the family movie night gear that we love from a kid-friendly projector that’s already loaded with content, to all our favorite family movies to put on your list. The show is about to begin!
CINEMOOD Movie Projector
CINEMOOD is the way to go when you are looking for a projector for your family movie night. This 3-inch projector is designed for kids and comes with Disney content, games, bedtime stories and even a shadow puppet tutorial all included. Access additional content from Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and more. Not only is it great for your indoor movie nights, but you can bring it camping, set it up in your backyard or even bring it on your next flight.
There are three different CINEMOOD projectors to choose from. The base projector includes everything above, while the CINEMOOD 360 adds on 360-degree capability to turn your walls into an immersive experience of nature scenes. It also has interactive motion games to get kids moving.
The new CINEMOOD TV comes with the features kids and parents love from previous models—plus it is five times faster and brighter so it can stream content in the daylight. It can be used without the need for WiFi and soon will have voice navigation making it even easier for kids to use.
Is it really a movie night without popcorn? We think not. We love the idea of having your own popcorn machine to bring out for family movie night as it makes it feel that more festive. This popcorn and concession cart has a small footprint and all the space you need to stash your popcorn ingredients away for the next movie night. Or, choose this tabletop version with a vintage flair.
Check out this list of fun flavored popcorn recipes to make it that much more special (churro is our favorite!).
Movie Theater Candy Boxes
Walmart
If you want to be the favorite parent on the block, stock your pantry with movie theater boxed candy and let everyone choose their favorite.
Make It Cozy
Amazon
Snuggling up at home is part of the fun of a family movie night. How about getting everyone their own PediPocket blanket that is made out of super-cozy fleece and comes with a foot pocket? Or go all in and get everyone The Comfy—an oversized blanket/hoodie that is sherpa lined. Another great option is to get the whole family decked out in matching holiday PJs if you've got a holiday movie to watch.
Pick Your Flick

Sometimes the hardest decision for movie night is which movie to watch. We love the idea of having each family member contribute a few options and picking one out of a hat. Or choose in order of youngest to oldest and have a different family member be the host each week.
