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!
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!

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

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.

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

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.
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.
