Either way, you're going to need some ideas to keep the little darlings busy, entertained and happy. Read on to learn how easy it is to plan and host a kids movie viewing party in your home.

A great place to start is to hold a Jingle All the Way 2 viewing party for your children and their friends, complete with a screening of the newly released video on your home big screen, hot chocolate, cookies and some fun games and other activities.

Planning and throwing a viewing party is simple. Here's the to-do list along with some creative ideas for holding your own DIY kid-friendly movie event.

1. Pick a date and time

2. Work with your child to compile an invitation list being careful not to invite more kids than you can comfortably accomodate

4. Plan the entertainment -- in addition to showing the movie, you might have crafts, a build your own hot chocolate table, a cookie decorating station, games, etc.

5. Buy your copy of Jingle All the Way 2 either online or in-store and get your free downloadable movie printables (no purchase required)

7.  Purchase either ready-made food, such as festive cupcakes and cookies from the bakery or bake and decorate some cookies to serve your little guests like I did

8.  Get creative decorating your home, setting the table with movie theme accessories and a easy DIY Christmas Tree napkin fold and making sure everything is ready, including packaging the party favors, a day ahead if possible
