The Grinch also has a pretty salty exterior but is sweet on the inside.




Grinch hot chocolate is the perfect drink for this movie.

White chocolate cocoa is tinted green and can be prepared in the slow cooker.




We know the Grinch is already pulling the popcorn garlands from every Who’s house in Whoville. 

Maybe he just likes popcorn.

If so, he’d be sure to love this Grinch popcorn recipe!




This Grinch fruit tray is going to wow everyone who sees it.

Recreate the original Grinch’s face in fruits, veggies, and just a little candy.



Grinch Movie Night Crafts


Why let the festivities extend only to the movie itself?

Have some movie night crafts ready for more Grinchy fun, such as this handprint paper plate Grinch craft.





While the Grinch saves the day at the end, everybody knows the true hero of the cartoon is his dog, Max.

Celebrate this adorable, good-hearted pup with a printable Max headband to color.




Make sure to print enough copies of this Grinch line art coloring page.

The unique art style will definitely capture children’s attention.




Make sure to also have extras of this fun Grinch card printable available for anyone who wants to make more than one.

Turn a favorite Christmas photo into a keepsake card featuring a picture of a little one from around Christmastime.

A movie night like this one needs quality decorations as well.

Start things off with this collection of mini Christmas gift boxes.

These handmade boxes are perfect for little treats, such as movie night candy, and are too pretty not to make.

Print these Grinch quotes on cardstock with some appropriate decorations, and drive home the whole movie's point.
