Jingle All The Way 2 Screening Party! #JingleInsiders



 This weekend, my family and I celebrated the release of Jingle All The Way 2  DVD/Blu-ray combo with a fun pre-release party! My children invited over some of their friends and we had a day to remember. Before I tell you about the party, here is a little info on the movie:

 Fill your stocking with a new holiday classic that will have the whole family laughing when Jingle All The Way 2 arrives on Blu-ray Combo, DVD and Digital HD December 2 from WWE Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Comedy superstar Larry the Cable Guy and WWE Superstar Santino Marella bring laughs and holiday spirit to this second installment of the successful film franchise.

Two desperate dads compete in a no-holds-barred battle to be the best father and make this the best Christmas ever! Fun-loving, laid-back dad Larry (Larry the Cable Guy; Cars, Tooth Fairy 2) is having a bear of a time finding the perfect Christmas gift for his eight-year-old daughter, Noel. The season’s hottest toy, The Harrison Bear, is all sold out, and Noel’s new stepfather wants to keep it that way — so he can be the one to make her holiday wish come true. When Larry learns all Noel wants for Christmas is the bear, he’ll stop at nothing to make his little girl happy and get her the toy of her dreams…Co-starring WWE Superstar Santino Marella, Jingle All The Way 2 is heartwarming and hilarious fun for the whole family!

The holiday cheer continues in the Blu-ray Combo and DVD bonus features including deleted scenes, making-of featurettes, a mock Public Service Announcement from Larry and Santino advising how you can stay safe while shopping this holiday plus a special Harrison the Bear TV commercial and an exclusive interview with the hottest toy of the season.





 Now, let me tell you about the awesome party and all the fun we had. First off, we received tons of cool party favors including ornaments, mugs, cookie cutters  markers, Santa hats, peppermint hot chocolate and more! As soon as our guests arrived we got things started  by handing out the gift packs.


We made sugar  cookies to go along with the mint flavored cocoa that came with our gift packs. As soon as that was ready, we settled in to watch the film.



During the course of the movie, the kids also enjoyed coloring in their ornaments and doing some of the fun Jingle All the way themed activity sheets.  You can print out a few for yourself and join in the fun!






 All through the movie they sipped the peppermint hot chocolate, and everyone loved the cool mugs that came with cute little matching spoons.





 The movie was cute. Though we've never seen the original Jingle all the Way, we had no trouble following along. I have always loved Larry the Cable Guy and his unique brand of humor. He was perfect for this role and my kids recognized him from some other movies they enjoyed. The movie follows Larry, a laid back dad who is trying to impress his eight-year-old daughter.  But he has  a little competition. WWF star Santino Marella, her daughter's well-to-do (at least compared to Larry) stepfather.  When he finds out his daughter wants Harrison Bear for Christmas, he does whatever it takes to get it. There is a lot of slapstick humor, but the story still has the underlying message that the holidays are all about family.  All the kids definitely had a great time watching it and it's a great movie for the holiday season.
