We love our movie nights.
And our favorite movie night beverage is definitely hot chocolate, so our Thanksgiving Movie Night practically planned itself this year. What’s better than a good movie, hot chocolate and hot chocolate muffins to snack on with family? Nothing! 
Pete, the girls and I all cuddled up on the couch and enjoyed the cooler weather that November and December bring. We even had some rain! Since TruMoo is just as delicious hot as it is cold, and is made with real milk and the right amount of chocolate we sipped on our drinks during the first part of the movie. Ashley likes hers really warm, while Emmy likes her just a bit warmed up. TruMoo is a great addition to indoor family time like movie night or board game night. It goes with everything! For those of you with really cold weather, TruMoo hot is a great way to get warm and cozy as the temperature outside drops. 
Halfway through the movie I brought out some Chocolate Milk Muffins!
These were a huge hit and they were even made with TruMoo Chocolate Milk! I have the really easy recipe for you below… 
This past week has definitely been cooler, but Emmy is dreaming of even colder weather and snow! Hence why she is wearing a scarf and hat. Nobody has the heart to tell her it really doesn’t snow here!
As we were sitting on the couch, muffins and chocolate milk in hand, we played the thankful game.
Each person writes something that they are thankful for about each other on a piece of scratch paper. Then the game part starts! We go around in a circle with each piece of paper read out loud. It’s wonderful to hear such kind words said about each other, and we make it even more fun by trying to guess who wrote each compliment. We look forward to this each year. I like to save the papers and put them in a scrap book and read them over the next year. I find that the girls love to do that too!

Tru Moo is an amazing and delicious drink. It is our go to chocolate milk.
The muffins look yummy. I never would have thought to use chocolate milk when making muffins. What a great idea.
I think a Thanksgiving movie night is a great idea. Everything’s better with a movie night, really.
We always do a Christmas movie night, but we have never done a Thanksgiving movie night. Sounds like a lot of fun.
This sounds like the perfect way to enjoy a movie together. Those muffins just sound delicious! I want some!
How did you know I was craving muffins?? And chocolate milk is my #1 most favorite breakfast (um… and snack) beverage!
We love Chocolate milk here in this house! I have to make those muffins, my kids and I would love them!

Movie night is always better with nom noms. Or is it nom noms are always better with movie night? Either way, it’s great!
That is a great idea! I am so going to have to try this, my kids would love this recipe!
We love to hang out together and watch movies when it gets cold outside. A nice cup of chocolate milk sounds so good!
This looks like a fabulous family movie night in and a great way to stay warm. We love movies, games and crafts when the weather is too chilly to get outdoors.
Those muffins sound amazing. I am going to have to make some this season and share them with everyone.
That recipe looks to die for. I can’t wait to spend the holidays with my family.
TruMoo is my daughter’s favorite brand of chocolate milk. Every time we go to the store, she makes it her special request.
That looks like a fun family night. I love Chocolate Milk.. will have to give that brand a try.
I have not tried troo moo yet. It’s neat that you can serve it hot or cold. That’s one less grocery item.
chocolate milk in muffin mix? That sounds amazing! I also had no idea you could even do that.
We love movies too. We usually dig in to a movie series over Thanksgiving. We’ve watched all the Harry Potter movies or Lord of the Rings. I have not seen True Moo in our area. Will be on the lookout!
The muffins look amazing! I can’t wait to make a batch.
We love to cuddle up and watch our favorite movies too. What I like about this muffins is you can enjoy them for breakfast the next day too.
My kids do not like tru moo. I wish they did.
We don’t have TruMoo in Canada which is such a bummer. I see it all the time and know my kids wold LOVE it! This is great!
We love to curl up and watch movies together too. TruMoo sounds really good right now!
I love the idea of playing the thankful game. I was just taling to my husband about the kids needing to do something like this.
What a cozy family night in idea! Those muffins look amazing, will have to try them!
Your photos are so beautiful, feels like fall. Too bad chocolate milk doesn’t come out of the brown cows 😉 Love my chocolate milk!
We like to build a fire and either watch a movie together as a family or play some games. My kids love chocolate milk – I usually warm it up and add some marshmallows or whipped cream!
Yum! Those muffins look like the perfect treat for a fun night with the family. We are ready for cool nights & warm snuggles.
Movie Nights are always so fun & special and Thanksgiving makes it even more special. My kids love TruMoo Chocolate Milk so much & those Chocolate Muffins makes it a perfect combo for a wonderful movie night.
Everything looks good here. We love Trumoo. My son especially loves it.
We do love Tru Moo around here also. That is a great addition for movie night with the family
Chocolate milk muffins?! What a genius idea. These look amazing.
We love True Moo Milk! It’s our kids favorite way to make hot chocolate. We need to plan a family movie night in the near future. It’s been too long since our last one!
I bought a Thanksgiving “game” for my kids a couple years ago that we do while cooking. It’s our way of connecting with words during this holiday season
