Transform your living room into a home theater and create a movie marathon featuring your favorite winter-themed films. Whether it’s classic holiday movies, heartwarming dramas, or adventurous tales set in snowy landscapes, there’s no shortage of films to choose from.

We recommend Disney’s Frozen or Disney Olaf Presents on Disney+.

Alternatively, immerse yourself in a good book – preferably one with a winter setting that allows you to escape into a snow-covered world. Indulging in entertainment from the comfort of your couch can turn a snow day into a memorable and enjoyable experience. The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a great one to share with kids.
