Your guide to celebrating December 7
Skip to all 7 daysA cloud of spun sugar beside the remote can turn an ordinary couch into the best seat in the house. On December 7, National Cotton Candy Day supplies the snack and the excuse to make movie night a little more playful.
Pick up a favorite flavor to share, then use some of it to dress up cupcakes or a sundae. Cotton candy is already delightfully over the top, so this is not the occasion for neat, restrained decorating. Pile it high, snap a photo before the wispy topping starts to disappear, and carry your creation carefully to the couch.
For Walt Disney Day, rewatch the Disney movie you loved as a kid. Choose the one whose songs you still know, even if you insist you have forgotten them. Some handmade decorations can turn the room into a cheerful little premiere without requiring a red carpet. Cut out shapes inspired by the movie, set them around the screen, and dim the lights when the opening title appears.

Then settle in with your towering dessert and see which parts of the movie stayed tucked in your memory. You may recall every lyric but completely forget the plot, or discover that a once-scary villain now seems wonderfully theatrical. Either result deserves another tuft of cotton candy.
When the credits roll, leave the decorations up for one more song. A living room audience is unlikely to complain about an encore, especially when the concession stand still has spun sugar.
