Talk to Cadbury’s about your family nights in and you could win a £200 Love2Shop voucher NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

Cadbury’s Marvellous Smashables have asked us to find out how you get the whole family together for a cosy night in.

Here’s what they say, "New Cadbury’s Marvellous Smashables are a fun way for all the family to get involved, so we’d love to hear from Mumsnetters about how they encourage the whole family to enjoy a family night in."

So, what do you do to ensure your busy family spends time together? Do you make sure everyone's favourite meal - or dessert - is on the menu? Perhaps there's a TV show that's guaranteed to gather you all in one place? Or do you use more direct tactics like bribery?! Maybe you cut off supply to the wifi or have made the lounge or kitchen an irresistably cosy place to congregate?

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 Love2Shop voucher!

Thanks

For us, we pick a family film, get lots of snacks and sweets ready and then all snuggle up on the sofa with the lights dimmed. Perfect :)

When it's cold outside we love to all get together in the living room with a big blanket over us & watch a film

My DC are still a bit young for this, (6 and 4). However I am really looking forward to the future years when hopefully we will have nights in with some nice food and then watching a family film together. I would love them to stay up and watch Strictly with me as well (DH not interested!!).

i just tell them to stay and they do

Our family night in consists of PJ's, films and snuggles, although we really do need a bigger sofa considering we have 3 children and two dogs that insist on sitting next to me and the OH lol.

We like to snuggle up on the sofa and sit under a throw with popcorn watching our favourite DVDs

Home made pizzas for tea, followed by a board game. Then all snuggle up in pyjamas, under blankets, to watch a movie together. With bowls of crisps and chocolate to nibble on!

We love watching I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here as a family, whilst all squashed on the sofa, snacking on popcorn & snacks etc... Love it so much.

We always eat at the table with the radio instead of the television to keep everyone paying attention to each other.

Well at the moment, our family nights in, are mainly over the weekend. We all snuggle on the sofa, and watch Xfactor. All giving our opinions, and booing Simon Cowell. All go fun.

We love our family nights. We all go and stay at my parents-in-law once a month and get a takeaway and play board games and cards and eat loads! Its always such a laugh and plenty of drinking and eating but we all love it and will carry on the tradition with our own children when they are older!

They're only allowed to eat at the table, it's all they've ever known, so we always have family time together.

We love to have nights in snuggled all together under a blanket, watching family movies and enjoying a few treats; chocolate, popcorn, nachos depending on how we feel!

We have some great evenings in it usually starts with a few family games, kids love memory card, top trumps and frustration. We than usually have a little concert the younger ones like to put on then we choose a film and have popcorn and hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Our special nights in as a family a board game like monopoly game of life or connect 4 then we would a family movie with popcorn and cadburys chocolate me and my partner share a bar of chocolate and my son aged 10 has a bar of his own have never tried the cadburys smashables yet have seen it in the shops better buy it now though try it out

We love a good film and chocolate and ice cream

Our children are still quite young so its difficult to find something we all find fun - usually chocolate, sweets and a family movie in the evening :)

We love a boardgame night

roast dinner and board game afterwards - traditional and fun

movie nights with a box of choccies kids have chosen and blankets and hot water bottles, bliss!

My little girl is only 18 months so we spend a lot of nights in!!

It's nice to spend a bit of time before she goes to bed either playing with her toys or watching a bit of Peppa Pig - which she is obsessed with at the moment!

we love to grab a duvet and snuggle up on the sofa watching a film with some treats

Takeaway pizza and lager and lime.

Snuggling on the sofa under a blanket watching a great movie with lots of snacks

Always try to have dinner together on the table, TV and media devices off.
