The third week of November officially marks the beginning of Christmas season that includes cosy quilts, hot chocolate, warm socks, and tons of winter movie bingeing. Not all of us love stepping out of the house and are quite happy staying in bed all day with tons of snacks, watching and re-watching our favourite movies. For that, here are the top essentials you need for a successful movie marathon.

Pro Tip: Here's a list of iconic Christmas movies that might come in handy for your movie marathon.

You know those cosy night suits you love to cuddle up in an Emirates flight? Well, to get that level of cosiness on a chilly winter night, I've picked an oh-so-warm throw blanket from Saasha World. Tuck yourself into this heavenly piece of fabric and make your sofa/bed the comfiest zone in your home. Apart from the functionality, this throw also serves as a rustic decor piece for your living room if adorned well on your sofa with a couple of cushions. 

LBB Tip: while washing it, it's recommended to use fabric softer to retain its softness.

This is one of the easiest ways to infuse holiday vibes into your marathon day. While you can pick any pair (or five) from this collection, I've picked these royal green patterned socks, as they also give a Christmasy vibe. I prefer Dynamocks's socks as they are basically warm hugs for your feet.

Everyone's favourite winter beverage—hot chocolate is a hug in a cup. Make cafe-style hot chocolate using Sarah's Cocoa's hot chocolate blends that range from dark chocolate to classic cinnamon. I've picked the marshmallow one, as marshmallow + hot chocolate is arguably the best combo. 

LBB Tip: Add a pinch of salt to your hot chocolate to enhance the flavours.

Winters and monsoons are the perfect time to get cosy and enjoy a bowl of instant noodles. Of course, Maggi is our saviour, but we've come across a super cool instant noodle brand that does a healthy version of instant noodles. Well, it takes a little more than 2 minutes to whip up these noodles—7 minutes to be precise. The noodles are made from healthy millet flour, against maida.
