Family Movie Night Giveaway!
Do you and your family go to the movies? What about around the holidays? Do you have a tradition like some families of going to see a holiday movie, or actually going on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day?
Disney's "A Christmas Carol" opens November 6th
Around here we LOVE movies! Our son (14 months) isn’t old enough to participate in a family movie night out but we can’t wait until he is. My husband is a huge movie fanatic (ie – we have to see EVERY movie trailer on iTunes when they are released) so we see lots of movies.
This holiday season, you can save some money at the grocery store AND see a movie courtesy of General Mills cereals. Starting today (November 1st), you can receive a free movie ticket when you purchase two specially marked packages of General Mills’ Cereals (see participating brands below). After purchasing two cereals, visit generalmills.com/moviecash to enter the code found inside each box of cereal and print your free movie certificate good for admission to any movie.
Participating brands include select sizes of: Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix and Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs. Here are some coupons found around the internet and in the Sunday paper for these products too:
- $.55 on 1 Honey Nut Cheerios
- $1.00 on 2 listed cereals only – Honey Nut Cheerios/Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Lucky Charms

question 1: we can’t wait to take the kids to see the new disney princess movie! we’re very excited she is an african american princess!
question 2: sadly i will not. i’d love to! we have the tiniest freezer ever though. :(
We can’t wait to see the Christmas Carol movie. It looks like it will be really good.
Q1:we are most looking forward to ghosts of Christmas past!
Q2:no we won’t because we’ll be visiting family for the holidays!!
Comment 1: I’m most looking forward to the classics like Rudolph. my little one is 2 1/2 so he’s finally at an age where he enjoys movies.
Comment 2: I won’t be doing the full menus of either but I’m doing both breakfasts from October (as part of Tuesday’s #BakingDay). Got a baby due this month so it’s last minute pack the freezer time!
And with a baby on the way soon I don’t want you going into labor! Good call on the just making breakfasts

#1 – We are looking forward to A Christmas Carol
#2 – I just discovered this site today and am very excited to start doing this again. I am planning on the Nov. menu. There are more things that my family will eat on that menu.
I also just became a fan on Facebook.
Fantastic website!!!
The only movie I saw that looks interesting is “Amelia” but I believe it’s already out in theaters. We aren’t big movie-goers (mainly b/c of cost and having little ones). It would be a fun date night for sure!
I don’t plan on making the Oct menu b/c I just had a OAMC day and my freezer is stocked. We also are having some fave TNTs for the holidays. I haven’t looked at the Nov menu yet but plan to once the kids are in bed! :)
What holiday movie are you most looking forward to this season?
Totally A Christmas Carol. Technology looks awesome instead of the crazy haunted eyes in The Polar Express!
I am cooking the November menu on Tuesday! Already blogged about it too

Looking forward to seeing the holiday film, “A Christmas Carol”.
A Christmas Carol! Kids are so excited, so do we!
I might be cooking Nov. OAMM menus if my families decide to come over instead of getting together at my parents.

I will not be cooking either of them because my children have food allergies.

Have you seen the gluten/dairy free adaptions? Does that not cover all the allergies?

And,
Comment #1 Would love to see The Blind Side, and the Christmas Carol movie.
Comment #2 : YES! I need to go shopping, but I’m hoping to cook both so I just need to bake cookies in December!
What holiday movie are you most looking forward to this season? I haven’t seen many advertisements lately. That Christmas Carol one looks interesting. But we’re wanting to all go on Christmas Day to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks. We’ve never did that before and I think it would be fun.
God bless,
Amanda
Will you be cooking the October (Thanksgiving) or November (Christmas) OAMM menu(s)? Why or why not? Hmm, not sure yet. I’ve never did a big cooking day. Just little bits here and there. I may have to try it though. If I do, it would probably be the Christmas one.
God bless,
Amanda

I can’t wait to see New Moon. I have a 2 year old so we haven’t taken him out to see a movie just yet. :-) I just discovered this site today and I’m so excited. I’m planning on cooking the Nov. menu!
I became a fan of your facebook page. Thanks!
I’d like to see the Frog Prince movie. :)
I will surely make at least one of your recipes for this month or next month. They are a staple in my home!!

I’m looking forward to seeing Disney’s Christmas Carol.
I just heard about a Jim Carrey Christmas movie. . . can’t wait to check it out!
I can’t wait to take my daughter to see The Princess and the Frog!
I already made several things from past months including the pumpkin items from the October menu. I will make several things from the November menu, but not all at once. I’m 6.5 months pregnant and don’t have the energy to do a FULL day.
I am 8 months pregnant and am with you on the not having enough energy for a FULL day. I have done bits and pieces for the last few months myself. Congratulations!
I became a fan on Facebook and I might do the November meal planning. It sounds great!
I actually have no clue what holiday movies are coming to the theaters this year. But I will be indulging myself in White Christmas, as always :)
And yes, we will be cooking the Christmas menu!!
I subscribe to your lovely emails.

Q1:Classic:White Christmas Newer:Four Christmases
Q2: I’ve never done the once a month cooking, but I’m really interested. Especially, because I’m a teacher and we only get paid once a month.
I’m looking forward to seeing A Christmas Carol with Jim Carey. I really love him!!
I would love to try the OAMM holiday menus but since I’m a newbie I’m scared!! Maybe next year.
I joined the “Once A Month Mom” Facebook Fan page! Thank you for all the wisdom and ideas ~
Q 1: I can’t wait to take the kids to see Where the Wild Things Are. They are going to love it!
Q 2: I will be cooking some items but not all. My freezer is so small and pretty full right now.

We can’t wait to go see the new animated Christmas Carol. Our plans are to go see it over Thanksgiving Break.
We always look forward to watching Elf.
I can’t wait to take the family to the Christmas Carol movie
Taking my girl scout troop to see the Christmas Carol movie over the holiday break and definitely using the october menu…Looking forward to it :)
I love the oldies like Miracle on 34th street and I also LOVE Elf!
I have never tried a whole cooking day. We have just a fridge/freezer and I am nervous about getting it all done and having room. i have been trying to double what I make and freeze half though. I am hoping to try a OAMC day soon!
Ghosts of Christmas past
Question 1: My husband and I watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase endlessly during the holidays. Not quite one for the kids though!
Question 2: I haven’t started the OAMC thing yet though I’m interested to try. We’re probably moving soon so I don’t think this will be the month I start.
We can’t wait to see the new Disney Christmas Carol! Looks awesome.

Ok – I’m a bit slow. I watch Elf for the first time last year. What a hoot! I’m definitely looking forward to watching that one again.
I wished that I could do more “monthly cooking”, but I only have the small freezer above my fridge. I do try to make extras and freeze that however.

i will do the october menu because i want to try the pumpkin cheese balls.
I want to see the Christmas Carol… but its the only one ive seen previews for, so perhaps there is something else i would like to see too..
I’m looking forward to Sherlock Holmes… without the kids, of course.
I’m new here, but I am going to try at least part of the menu.
Q1: The Blind Side isn’t a holiday movie, but my husband and I are really excited for it to come out!
I’m not going to be cooking once a month, but I’m interested to see everyone else’s resutls!
I can’t wait for New Moon! I’m such a nerd mom.
#1 I just discovered “A Christmas Story” last year and look forward to watching it again!
#2 I just discovered this site today through the giveaway and I am very excited to start using the menus! Always looking for new recipes, so I am a maybe for parts of both!
