Our first movie from our movie list to watch together as a family, is Snow Day. If you want to see what other movies are on our list, head over HERE to see the entire list. Everyone was really excited to see this one. I have already seen it, but it was one I thought my daughters would really enjoy. This has been on their own list of movies they wanted to watch, so it was perfect. It was even snowing on the day we watched it, so this was great!
About Snow Day
When an entire town in upstate New York is closed down by an unexpected snowfall, a “snow day” begins when a group of elementary school kids, led by Natalie Brandston, try to ensure that the schools stay closed by stopping a mechanical snowplow driver by trying to hijack his plow truck. Meanwhile, Natalie’s big brother Hal is using this day to try to win the affections of Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in his high school, while Hal and Natalie’s father Tom, a TV meteorologist, faces off against a rival meteorologist for weather coverage of the day’s events.
We have decided we also want to have snacks and drinks with each movie. So far we have decided to make a charcuterie board as long as we can come up with enough snacks to go along with each movie. Since this one had a lot to do with snow, we went with some snow themed snacks and drinks. We had hot cocoa for drinks because many of the times when it’s cold out, we always have hot cocoa to warm up. We then came up with some ideas for snow snacks, which were donuts, marshmallows, snowball cookies and we even made snowflake tortilla chips.
My daughter Tesla even made slideshows for all of these movies. I thought she did a wonderful job with these. For Snow Day, she did a fun short slide of the cover of the movie and did some quotes to go along with it. “Roads are closed” “Schools out” and Rules were meant to be frozen” were some of the ones she chose.
If you have never seen Snow Day, I highly recommend it. If you have kids, it is a great movie to watch together with them. My daughters really enjoyed this movie. They actually came out with a newer one too. We plan to see the new one as well. My daughters enjoyed the older version so much, we want to see the new one too. You can grab this movie off AMAZON if you enjoyed it.
Stay tuned for movie #2!
It’s a great movie! But what catches my eyes is that awesome snack board you have to match the movies
We had so much fun making the snack board.
That treat board looks so good! I will have to watch this movie with the family.
It’s such a great movie. I always love seeing Snow Day.
This sounds like a good movie to watch. My kids like snow days and wish that it would snow here.
It is one of my favorite childhood movies.
I haven’t seen the movie Snow Day, adding this to my list and will check this on the weekend.
I hope you like it. I really loved it as a child, and still do.
I’ve never seen this movie, though it’s been on my list to watch for a very long time. I like the idea of a charcuterie board for movie snacks. Normally we have a handful of different snacks and everyone just gets a bowl to put them in (not very fun lol). Great movie idea!
Thanks! We had so much fun with the charcuterie board. The movie is a must watch. I hope you enjoy it.
I’ve actually never heard of this movie, but I would love to see it! My kids are older now, but have such great memories of listening to the radio every winter morning, hoping for a snow day. Even now, my high schooler still gets excited when her bus is cancelled! I’ll have to check out this movie for sure!
Yes, you certainly should. I always loved this movie growing up.
Snow Day is such a great movie. Where I”m from, we didn’t have many snow days and this movie just mode those days even more special.
I really love this movie as well. One of my favorites.
Snow Day is a fun classic, but let’s talk about that snack board! Those look tasty!
Thanks! It sure was.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never seen it but its definitely up my alley!!
Of course! It’s a great movie. I always loved it.
Reading your post reminded me of the joy and anticipation of a snow day when I was a kid! ‘Snow Day’ is a fantastic choice for a family movie night, and I love that the weather played along to set the perfect atmosphere for you!
Yes, it sure is. Such a great movie too.
I haven’t seen that movie but I think I’m gonna like it. Love your snack board too!
Thanks! Such a great movie. Definitely one I loved as a kid.
