Movie nights are big in our household year round, but when it cools off enough outside to light the fireplace and grab out all the blankets, we love them just a little bit more. We cozy up on the couch together and debate back and forth about what movies we should queue up for the night. Here’s a list of 38 movies that are perfect to watch together as a family from classics to the newest Disney box office hits. We’re going to try to check them all of our list this season, you should too! (check out our favorite holiday flicks here)
