12 Creative Recipes Inspired By Movie Theater Staples

Oh movie theater food. It’s so bad… but it’s also oh-so-good. We’ve noticed that whenever we try making it at home, it never tastes as good. Probably because we need to bump up the butter, oil, and fat by 200%. Since we don’t want to know what’s actually in these snacks, we’ve rounded up 12 recipes inspired by movie theater staples. These will be perfect for when you host movie night at home with your February Brit Kit!

1. Furikake Popcorn: Popcorn. The movie theater must-have. The furikake adds an umami flavor, keeping it tasty but cutting a lot of the fat. If you want some sweet popcorn with your savory, check out our party popcorn! (Recipe and photo: Humble Bean)

2. Dairy Free Nacho Cheese: Luckily for most of us, we’re able to explore the deliciously creamy world of nacho cheese without any nasty repercussions. But what about those who have a horrible intolerance to lactose? Enter, dairy free nacho cheese. Still amazingly creamy and tasty! (Recipe and photo: The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen)

3. Soft Beer Pretzels: Soft. Beer. Pretzels. Need we say more? (Recipe and photo: The Novice Housewife)

4. Kimchi Relish Hot Dog: Love a good ‘ol hot dog with a heaping pile of sauerkraut? Maintain the tart flavor of sauerkraut but add a twist using kimchi relish instead! (Recipe and photo: Kimchi Chronicles)

5. Sweet Potato, Beet, Kale, Bacon or Apple Chips: Love chips? So do we. Make a whole arrangement of healthier chips for movie night. (Recipe and photo: Brit + Co)

6. Raspberry Lime Icee: Now that you’re an adult, you have a more sophisticated palate. Meaning, you’ve moved beyond the the single flavor cherry icee to an icee with two flavors, raspberry and lime. A sign of maturity. (Recipe and photo: A Girl Worth Saving)

7. Jack and Coke Cake: Instead of having a huge 32 oz coke, why don’t you bake a coke cake? Cake is more like a meal anyway ;) (Recipe and photo: Brit + Co)

8. Cotton Candy: You can still make cotton candy even without a machine! This is a great DIY project to do before the movie with friends and family. (Recipe and photo: Cooking Books)

9. Junior Mint Hot Chocolate: Rich, piping hot chocolate with a minty twist? Perfect for movie date night. Serve with a side of cuddling. (Recipe and photo: Picky Palate)

Sunday Best

Sunday Best Peggy Sweater

Consider this white cable knit sweaterthe Rory Gilmore sweater for the season. I cannot stop wearing mine. It's super soft and the perfect medium weight (meaning you won't be cold but you also won't feel weighed down). It's also not itchy at all. I love wearing it with jeans, or tucked into trousers or a skirt.

Amazon

Cotton Baseball Hat

For a more subtle nod to the fashion on the show, a blue baseball cap gives major Luke Danes vibes without having to walk around wearing Gilmore Girls merchandise. Wear it with a crewneck and oversized coat now (hello '90s "It" girl!) and a tee shirt come spring.

Book of the Month

Book of the Month

Channel your inner Rory with the Book of the Month subscription service. The cool part about someone else picking out the books is that you'll find titles — and authors — you didn't even know to look for.

Gina White Poodle

Getting your little into the Gilmore Girls spirit? They definitely need a lovable stuffed dog. Again I say, "Oy with the poodles already!"

Handker Bandanas

Colorful Bandana

For another low-key nod to the ultimate BFF's, grab a bandana in your favorite color (like this one that uses untreated, non-GMO cotton!). In true Y2K fashion, Sookie and Lorelai wear bandanas throughout the show, so this is a super fun way to incorporate their style into your own closet this winter.

Etsy

Dragonfly Necklace

A delicate dragonfly necklace is a beautiful layering piece that will add summer cheer to the dreariest of winter days and remind you of Dragonfly Inn at the same time. The fact that dragonflies represent new beginnings is just the cherry on top.

TBH, I think kids books are great for book lovers of any age. The art and simple storytelling really get my creative juices flowing. At Home In Stars Hollow will make you (or a family member or friend) love Gilmore Girls in a whole new way!

Cande Craft Company

Stars Hollow Scented Candle

This all-natural soy candle has every scent a Gilmore Girls fan will love: coffee, sweet cream, and vanilla. It's cozy and balances sweet and bitter in a really intoxicating way.

Amazon

Lorelai and Rory Gilmore Plush

Okay, I'll be honest. I want these plushes for myself! The design is a hilarious nod to the season one episode "The Lorelais' First Day At Chilton" and even features a tiny coffee mug and tiny book!

Now that we're in knee-high boot season (which I FINALLY bought), I like to wear super fun, colorful, and chaotic socks. Grab a pack of Gilmore Girls socks to take some Stars Hollow magic with you no matter where you go.

Angelina Jolie has always been mother — but she's also a literal mother to six kids whom she clearly cares about fiercely. Since she first adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax to giving birth to Vivienne and Knox, it's always been evident that her children are her entire world. While she rarely talks about her children (especially given her highly contested divorce at the moment), Angelina shared a little slice of her feelings on motherhood, insights on her children, and more with Good Morning America.

Here's what Angelina Jolie had to say about her kids — including which one of them is the most private!

www.youtube.com

- YouTube

Angelina opened up about her feelings for her family while chatting about her new movie Maria with Good Morning Americaon November 21, 2024. Host Michael Strahan asked Angie about if there's anything she loves as much as her character loves singing, and she replied that it's her "motherhood."

"It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me," she said. "I could — nothing else matters."

When asked about her sons' involvement in Maria, Angelina explained that despite their involvement behind the scenes, they're very uninterested in a life in the spotlight. She said, "None of my children want to be in front of the camera. They're quite private."

Angelina elaborated, "Shiloh's extremely private. They weren't born with privacy, so I hope they can have that."

This interview comes after Angelina and Knox attended the Governor's Awards with her on November 18, 2024. His rare appearance shocked so many — including Brad. Daily Mail reported that Pitt found the timing "suspicious."

The source said, "'She is trying to get under his skin after his recent win and using Knox to do so is odd. Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad."

Despite the weirdness, the source also said, "He [Brad] believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life."

How many kids does Angelina Jolie have?

Angelina Jolie has six children. She adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax, and later gave birth to Vivienne and Shiloh. She shares her children with Brad Pitt, most of whom aren't on good terms with him at the moment.
