Today I’ve teamed up with King of Christmas to share a little Christmas in July inspiration (and a giveaway of a King of Christmas Tree, valued at $500). If you’re coming over from my YouTube Channel, I’d like to extend you a warm “hello,” and thanks for stopping by! My name is Melonie, and I’m a design enthusiast who LOVES Christmas!

While many of you are just starting to enjoy your Summer, I am already thinking about ways to inspire you in the coming 2019 holiday season. In today’s video over on YouTube, I shared a family vlog on how we tried to surprise our twins with a Christmas in July family movie night. I featured the King of Christmas tree that one of you is going to win in today’s giveaway. It’s the 7’ King Noble Fir with 500 Warm LED Lights, and it is GORGEOUS!

7’ King Noble Fir with 500 Warm LED Lights

My oldest daughter and I decorated this tree with reds, golds and rustic touches to give it a very warm and cozy feel.

I love the hot cocoa mug ornaments!

And of course, I added a few of our favorite movie night snacks!

Have you ever tried mixing peanut M & M’s with popcorn?
MMMM…perfection!

I also added just a couple of Christmas decorations that would be easy to put away once movie night was over.

I found this “JOY” stocking holders at Pottery Barn a few years ago.

Many of you have seen some of our fall outdoor movie nights in our backyard. But this time of year, it’s just too hot. I like this projector because it’s easy to move from place to place, and we are all movie fans in this house!

Have you seen the latest Grinch movie? I laughed out loud at least 10 times! 🙂
Click here for this exact projector.

At the end of the video, I asked that you come here to answer this one question: What is your favorite Christmas movie line of all time?” Answer in the comments below to be entered into the giveaway. And don’t forget to read all of the giveaway details below.

  27. Not so much one line but the story that Henry tells in the Bishops Wife…..
    Tonight I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking. Once upon a midnight clear, there was a child’s cry. A blazing star hung over a stable and wise men came with birthday gifts. We haven’t forgotten that night down the centuries; we celebrate it with stars on Christmas trees, the sound of bells and with gifts. But especially with gifts. You give me a book; I give you a tie. Aunt Martha has always wanted an orange squeezer and Uncle Henry could do with a new pipe. We forget nobody, adult or child. All the stockings are filled… all that is, except one. And we have even forgotten to hang it up. The stocking for the child born in a manger. It’s his birthday we are celebrating. Don’t ever let us forget that. Let us ask ourselves what he would wish for most… and then let each put in his share. Loving kindness, warm hearts and the stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shining gifts that make peace on earth.
