1. First, make your living room into a proper cinema.

If you're projecting your movie onto a screen or wall, you can pin or tape Christmas lights around the movie screen and turn off the big light for a warm glow. Ooh, cosy.

2. OR just change the bulb!

Switch all your bulbs for coloured ones to match the mood: a red or green bulb for a horror movie, a blue tint for anything wintery, and an orange bulb for a snuggly romance. Easy.

3. Plan when you pee. Seriously.

This app tells you which bit of the movie is filled with useless time-wasting filler so that you can plan breaks.

4. Bring back blanket forts.

Make a blanket fort or an indoor wigwam out of fabric and wood scraps, and watch your movie in there.

5. Turn your phone into a projector.

6. Serve up some steamed corn on the cob.

Snacky but healthier than a hot dog. Microwave or steam for 3 minutes, and serve smothered with either salt, chilli flakes, butter, herbs, or sauce.

Now you're getting there...

7. Search eBay for vintage cinema seats.

The flip-up kind. Because they fold after use and are easier to store when you're not using them, but are great emergency seating when you have guests over.

8. Turn your laptop in to a faux fireplace.

If you're watching a romantic or Christmas movie, pile on the blankets and search YouTube for a free "open fire" video to put on in the background.

9. Play "movie cliché bingo".

Just like regular bingo, but instead of numbers, you fill your board with movie clichés.

10. Settle arguments instantly!

11. And if you're brave, screen it outside.

All you need is a sheet for a projection screen (and a projector, obviously) – and lots of snacks, hot drinks, blankets, and woolly hats. Ooh, cosy.

Then just sit back and let the high fives roll in.
