Aladdin Dinner & A Movie 🍿🧞♂️💜
Family movie nights are a weekly occurrence in our household and everyone loved Aladdin. Check out what we had ⬇️
🍢 Kebabs 🍢
Use whatever proteins and veggies your family will eat. Kebabs are 100% customizable. We used meatballs, steak, cheese, broccoli, onion and pepper. The boys skipped out on the peppers and onions so they had extra broccoli. With food allergies and picky eaters, having easily customizable foods is a must!!
🍚 Jasmine Rice 🍚
This was an easy win for this theme & Jasmine rice is debatably the best rice. Plus how could you have a meal for Aladdin without including ✨Jasmine✨
🧀 Iago’s Cheese & Crackers 🧀
I genuinely thought this bird’s name was Polly for the longest time 🙈 He’s one of the best characters in the movie imo. This is just simple cheese and crackers. If you’re feeling fancy, use nice cheeses and crackers and serve it as an appetizer. In my house, this is a guaranteed hit with the kids and that is a WIN for me 🏆
🧞♂️Magic Carpets🧞♂️
Take graham crackers and your favorite sweet spreads to make your own magic carpets! We used cream cheese frosting, but you can use Nutella, fluff, peanut butter, yogurt… the list goes on. This is another customizable option to fit your family’s dietary needs. Top with sprinkles or make it a fun activity by letting the kids decorate their own! We used a fun mix of star and rainbow sprinkles.
🩵 Blue Beverage 🩵
We went with simple blue raspberry koolaid for a drink. It was pretty close in color to Jasmine’s outfit. Other great options would be cool blue Gatorade, or making your own blue lemonade with food dyes or spirulina powder!

Movie nights can be a fantastic way to bond with family while indulging in fun, themed meals. For your Aladdin dinner, consider incorporating simple yet creative elements like kebabs that cater to every family member's taste preferences. Not only are kebabs delicious, but they also allow for customization, making them perfect for picky eaters. You can use a variety of proteins, vegetables, or even cheese for a delightful twist. Jasmine rice can be a staple side for this meal, connecting the culinary aspect directly to the film. This aromatic rice pairs wonderfully with kebabs and adds a cultural touch. If you're feeling adventurous, explore adding Middle Eastern spices to elevate the flavor profiles. For snacks, keep it simple yet engaging by offering cheese and crackers crafted in unique shapes or themed presentations inspired by the film. This playful touch can excite children while keeping them engaged throughout the movie. Dessert can also carry the theme! Create 'Magic Carpets' using graham crackers adorned with sweet spreads like Nutella or frosting, topped with colorful sprinkles. This not only delights the taste buds but can also serve as a fun, interactive kitchen activity. Completing the meal with a vibrant blue beverage, reminiscent of Jasmine’s dress, could be the cherry on top! Blue raspberry drinks or creative lemonade versions will surely impress guests. Remember, the goal is to make the evening enjoyable while keeping the food easy and approachable for everyone. With these ideas in hand, your Aladdin movie night is bound to be a hit!
