Celebrate FriendsGiving Netflix Style With These Bingeworthy Series is a sponsored post
“A friend is a connection to life; A tie to the past, a road to the future; a key to sanity in a totally insane world.” ~unknown
I know it sounds all kinds of cliche and even slightly vomit-inducing, and even as I’m about to type it up I think I might have just vomited a bit in my mouth but the truth of the matter is my husband is my best friend. And the crazy part is that our relationship, was not initially predicated on friendship. To be perfectly honest, our friendship is very odd.
We don’t really enjoy any of the same hobbies. I like to binge watch NETFLIX till my eyes bleed and he likes to listen to sports radio. He goes running every day- the one time I went running with him I developed these very unsightly purple veins on my legs and never ran again. I like SUGAR with everything- he likes it all plain.
And truly the list goes on. But when it comes to the stuff that REALLY matters, needing someone to listen to me talk, holding my hand during the really tough parts of this life’s journey- he is the one who is there by my side- and someone I can always rely on to make a really off-colored comment or joke that makes me smile. Our friendship is based on little things- little details that when strung together are what gives me strength and a sense of security and hope in the face of any kind of odds.
So when Thanksgiving with Family which I now refer to as Friendsgiving (a popular take on Thanksgiving when friends come together to celebrate good food and great company) rolls around I could not imagine writing about anyone but my husband and HOW EXCITED I am to get under the covers on the couch with him (as he is my family and my BFF) and DIVE DEEP INTO BINGE WATCHING!
Whether you and your loved ones embody the spirit of the fast-talking Gilmores or is more like the group-hugging Fullers or slightly strange Byers, when it comes to dynamics and traditions, how does your family compare? So if you too are ready to celebrate the friends in your life- keep reading for some fantastic Netflix pics that celebrate the best parts of friendship and a yummy snack!
Whether you’re planning a Friendsgiving feast or sticking to your traditional Thanksgiving routine, Find out what to watch next on Netflix based on your favorite family units, and try to share the remote this holiday season.
1. If you’re the family that appreciates a cozy night in like the Gilmores…
Reserve the couch and grab the comfy blanket for: The Little Prince, New Girl, The Little Rascals.
If you’re the family that is known for being just a little eclectic like the Byers….
Embrace the weird with: The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, Practical Magic.
If you’re the family that respects a good dance party like the Kiplings…
Get down with: Beat Bugs, Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids, Glee.
And once you’ve settled in with your Netflix -Friendsgiving series enjoy this snack – cucumber roll-ups stuffed with veggie cream cheese. Anything can go into cucumber rolls, but for this version we’re sticking to sun-dried tomatoes , a celery stalk and baby carrots.
Will you be celebrating Friendsgiving?
Can’t ever go wrong bing watching the Gilmore Girls. Totally classic shows. Always make you laugh and cry. Wonderful to find someone you totally connect with in all the right ways.
I love a lot of these shows! Right now we are binging on Making A Murderer part 2. After that it’ll be House of Cards! Netflix has so many great things to watch.
I think it’s awesome that your husband is your best friend. Mine is my best friend too. We are total opposites in some areas but they say opposites attract so I guess there’s some truth to that one.
My daughter always has a huge friendsgiving at her house. She invites all of her friends and they play games and everyone brings a covered dish.
We celebrate Friendsgiving with a ton of appetizers and chili usually the weekend before or after Thanksgiving. It’s something we started doing a few years ago and we’ve kept the tradition.
I can’t think of a better show to binge for a holiday surrounding family than The Gilmore Girls. These are all great picks, though.
oh my gosh yes i loveeeee all of this my friend ha. i def cant wait to share with some friends of mine!
I haven’t heard of some of these. I definitely need to check them out
Those are some fun lists. I like Gilmore Girls, and I’m going to have to check out some of your other recommendations.
What a fun idea! We have so much family around we don’t do any friendsgivings, but, I think we should have one and just have a laid back time!
I, for the first time in 12 years will be a guest in someone else’s house for Thanksgiving. I always host. I think now that we live far away from family, we’ll probably start planning some Friendsgivings. We just need friends! LOL!
I think more and more of us celebrate Friendsgiving. This is a way to stay together with our families that are small and with our friends together!
Great list of Netflix original series plus a great snack. It looks very yummy and cheesy. Loved it.
I love these Netflix series too! There’s nothing better than having a whole half-day to binge watch. Your cucumber rolls look delicious too.
I am all about celebrating Friendsgiving. To me, it’s part of Thanksgiving…being thankful for my friends that are just like family!
I wanted to do a Friendsgiving this year but my kitchen is torn out. I might do something for New Years though. Love those little roll ups for appetizer idea though!
I usually host a Friendsgiving every year but I sold my house this summer and my apartment is pretty small! Someone else may have to host this year!
I love binge wathching Netflix! These look like some great shows that I’ll have to add to my list.
