    Need fun gifts for teens this Christmas? Wrap up one of these playful gifts with a note that promises something even better--your time. Find the best shows to stream with your teen and a fun gift to go with each one. Then plan a relaxing tv night together to enjoy!

    A Central Perk "Friends" tumbler in front of a Christmas tree.

    We love to gift experiences at Christmastime but this year presents a more difficult challenge in that department. 

    One thing is for certain: winter break is going to be a much-needed two week hiatus from virtual learning and I can't wait to relax with my kids. For us, that will likely mean lots of movie nights together.

    I've rounded up 7 fun shows you can stream with your teens over the holiday break at the end of the year. Pick one that you love and pair it up with the matching gift idea. 

    Tuck one or two of the following inside the cup and you'll have an instant easy gift:

    • A "movie night" certificate for yummy snacks & popcorn
    • A hot cocoa packet or two
    • Their favorite movie candies

    And then slip it inside their stocking, the tumblers are the perfect shape!

    7 Shows to Stream with Teens

    This winter, grab a blanket, some popcorn, and binge watch these shows with your teens.

    Give them the gift of time together and wrap up a fun themed tumbler with a "Movie Night" coupon for special treats tucked inside.

    The Simpsons

    You can find all 30+ seasons of The Simpsons streaming on Disney+. We started watching this classic cartoon with the kids this fall and we had forgotten just how funny it can be.

    Common Sense Media rates it for ages 10+.

    The kids will love spotting the cast members sprinkled all over this fun themed tumbler.

    Friends

    You can find Friends streaming on HBO Max.

    Like many of you, this was one of my very favorite shows. I can't wait to share Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Phoebe with the kids.

    Common Sense Media rates it for ages 14+.

    This Central Perk mug makes me giggle every time I see it.

    Parks and Recreation

    You can find Parks and Recreation streaming on Peacock.

    This show leaving Hulu was one of the bigger tragedies for the Peanut during quarantine! It quickly became one of her all-time favorite shows.

    Common Sense Media rates it for 13+.

    The Little Sebastian tumbler and the Pawnee badges design are hysterical nods to the inside jokes of the show.

    The Office

    You can stream The Office on Netflix through the end of 2020. Next year it will be moving to NBC's individual streaming service. Get it while you can!

    Common Sense Media rates it for ages 14+.

    This Schrute Farms tumbler is a hysterical nod to the quirkiest character on the show.

    The Mandalorian

    You can stream The Mandalorian on Disney+.

    This is an excellent show for the whole family, both kids and adults will enjoy watching together. The runaway scene stealer award goes to Baby Yoda a.k.a. "The Child." Cuteness for days.

    Common Sense Media rates it for ages 10+.

    The Peanuts Movie

    You can stream The Peanuts Movie on Disney+.

    I realize this is a "little kids" show but I have a confession--I really didn't like it when we saw it in the movie theater. Our 13-year-old requested it for movie night the other week and the second viewing completely changed my mind. She said this is one of her very favorites, which just goes to show that even teens can connect with a sweet story.

    Common Sense Media rates it for ages 4+.

    The Charlie Brown themed insulated mug is the cutest Peanuts-themed one I've found.

    Back to the Future

    You can stream Back to the Future on Netflix.

    This classic time travel movie is a hoot to watch with your kids, even better if you can get grandma or grandpa in on the fun. Watch your kids' eyes bulge at how life was in the 50s and 80s.

    Common Sense Media rates this for ages 10+.

    This cute patchwork mug is filled with bits of nostalgia from the movie that any fan will love.
