This year’s merriest season has officially begun! The holidays are a time to recharge and reconnect to share precious moments with your loved ones — but it’s easy to get wrapped up in the flurry of holiday parties, office get-togethers, drinks with friends and Secret Santas.

At Miller Lite, we’re keeping holiday gatherings memorable and laid-back by spending quality Miller Time with those who celebrate us for being our true, authentic selves — no filters needed. We’re ditching the glitz and glam of holiday galas in favour of cozy, warm moments with our close-knit gang — and the beverages we love most! If you’re looking for low-key ways to show your crew some love this holiday season, scroll through for three Miller Time Moments that you can easily create to make this joyful time count.

Throw it back with some retro board games

Rekindle your childhood joys with board game sessions with your closest crew! Rather than spending your holiday eve at a glitzy work function, indulge in some sweet nostalgia by picking up a selection of retro table and board games guaranteed to cause a fun ruckus. Whether you’re playing with two, four or 20 of your closest pals, keeping Miller Lite on deck is a must-have for your cozy game night in. Up for a classic murder mystery? Clue is your friend! If part of your crew wants to join virtually, try the Hygge game for some bonding at a distance — or spice it up with some competitive Miller-Lite-fuelled trivia!

Spend an evening at a low-key bar that feels like home

Think of your crew’s favourite bar — one you have fond memories of together. It’s the best festive spot for a holiday evening out with the ones you love most! Take some time to connect and reminisce on your shared experiences; it’s the perfect time to enjoy some low-key brews, crack some jokes around a table or play some good, old-fashioned darts — and maybe a little dancing like no one’s watching, too. If you’re up for some exploration, bring the bartender in on your friend group’s fun — the more, the merrier!

Don’t sleep on holiday movie nights

If you just want to kick back and relax this holiday season, there’s no better way to spend quality time with your nearest and dearest than with an enchanting holiday movie night. With so many holiday movies, there’s no shortage of screenings you can have in your living room! Pro tip: create a movie marathon itinerary with your crew’s selections for a movie night they won’t forget. If you need some ideas, check out our must-have holiday film picks: A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, A Bad Moms Christmas, Bad Santa and The Holiday.

Consider scrapping your busy holiday schedule for precious moments shared between your chosen family, like game nights, movie marathons and neighbourhood bar hangouts. No matter your plans, cherish your holiday time by gathering around a case of Miller Lite with your favourite people and your favourite snacks — they’re all you need to create joyful holiday moments you won’t forget.
