Cupid's Pulse Article: Date Idea: Christmas Movie MarathonCupid's Pulse Article: Date Idea: Christmas Movie Marathon

By Samantha Mucha

Getting cozy with your mate by the fire while watching ABC Family’s ’25 Days of Christmas’ should be number one on your to-do date list this holiday season. Leave the freezing winter weather outside and kick back for an indoor weekend with your sweetheart.

Watching Christmas movies will not only put you and your lover in the holiday spirit, but the price is right – free. Throughout the month of December, there are a variety of holiday themed broadcasts on all of the national networks. The choice is yours, really. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to own a DVR, you won’t have to choose. You can load up “Miracle on 34th Street,” “8 Crazy Nights,” and “A Christmas Story” and watch them whenever you please.

To make this into a romantic evening, pour some wine or brew up some hot cocoa. You can even go above and beyond by renting your man’s favorite childhood Christmas films. If you are in the mood to get nostalgic, ask your partner’s parents to share old home movies of your boyfriend on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.  Watching videos of him as a child can help spark good feelings and could be a Christmas tradition that you decide to continue in your relationship.

It’s only getting colder. So, get the popcorn popping and throw on your best flannel pajamas. Cozy up with your holiday honey for the most relaxing moments you’ll have for the entire holiday season.
