Cozy mermaid pj's and lounge wear
When you'll be sitting down in one place for a couple hours focusing on a movie, it is important to be in comfortable attire. Who doesn't love cozying up in some pj's for a movie night? Especially if it is for a slumber party. Here are some lounge wear pieces and pj's that have a mermaid aesthetic.
Halloween-time is the best season for watching movies, especially enchanting mermaid movies. Better yet, mermaid horror movies! I've shared a few of those later in this article.
This is a great t shirt to wear for a mermaid horror movie marathon. It is comfortable and has a cute and spooky mermaid design.
For a summer mermaid movie night, a tank top is a great choice for comfort and style.
With this mermaid tank top, you can look like you have Ariel's seashell bra on.
Get some mermaid comfy pants.
To get into the mermaid movie mood, some mermaid scale yoga pants will do the trick!

Mermaid blankets
There's nothing quite like getting snuggled up in a warm blanket and putting on a good movie. Especially as the days get colder. Here are a few blankets that are perfect for a mermaid movie night.
This mermaid blanket is just the right size for sharing with friends. The pretty mermaid art will bring excellent vibes for your mermaid movie night, and it's made with the softest material.
Equally soft and cozy, this blanket also adds some magic to your movie night. The "salty air and mermaid vibes" text may resonate with you more than the former blanket. It also has brighter colors and sparkle effects.
Mermaid snacks
Every movie night needs some good snacks! Let me share some tasty mermaid snack ideas with you.
Enjoy some popcorn in one of these mermaid popcorn buckets. Make a large batch of popcorn and distribute it evenly into these adorable popcorn buckets, so everyone gets their own popcorn, instead of sharing.
Mermaids are all about saltiness, but some may have a sweet tooth. You can't go wrong with some candy and cookies! In this article I've shared the best mermaid candy for Halloween, but you can have candy whenever you want!
You can add some extra fun to a mermaid movie night by decorating your own cookies. Get yourself some mermaid cookie cutters and some pre-made sugar cookie dough, and let your friends have a deliciously good time.
Mermaid drinks and mocktails
-Mermaid Margarita (pineapple juice, tequila, blue curacau, lime juice)
Here’s a delicious mermaid drink idea I found on Pinterest:
-Ship Bottom Mermaid Blonde Ale
-"Mermaid water" mocktail (sprite, blue hawaiian punch, pineapple juice)
Whether it's apple cider, champagne, juice, or beer, the right cup makes a cold beverage all the more enjoyable.
These mermaid cups will add to your drinking experience during a mermaid movie night.
Add extra pizzazz to mermaid drinks with edible glitter, colored sugar rims, and mermaid stirrers.
