I just had the most amazing 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' family night with my kiddos, and it got me thinking about all the fun ways to celebrate our favorite show! If you're planning your own TSITP Season 3 watch party or just a casual family movie night, putting together a themed snack box or charcuterie board is an absolute must. For our board, I tried to include some beachy blue and white elements, think blueberries, white chocolate pretzels, and even some gummy sharks for fun! You could also add mini crab crackers, seashell-shaped pasta salad, or even some "Cousins Beach" themed cupcakes. It makes the whole experience so much more immersive and delicious, perfect for any pretty 'season 3 night' gathering. This 'summer i turned pretty food' theme really brings the show to life! Of course, no 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' gathering is complete without diving into the ultimate debate: Are you Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? It's such a central part of the series, and everyone has their strong opinions! Conrad, with his brooding charm and "struggles to express his feelings," often captures hearts, especially for those who love a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, Jeremiah's sunshine personality and unwavering devotion make him truly lovable. The "competition" between the brothers for Belly's affection is what drives so much of the drama and makes us all pick a side. Personally, I find myself switching between the two depending on the episode! What about you? I’d love to hear your reasons for being Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah in the comments. The anticipation for the next 'season' only makes this debate more intense! If you've already binged 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' and are looking for more 'couple friendly movie' or 'girls series' options, especially 'new romance movies on Prime' or other 'prime video ott' gems, there are some fantastic choices out there. If you loved the charming coming-of-age romance and friendship, you might enjoy 'Red, White & Royal Blue' for a fun, heartfelt story on Prime Video, or even 'XO, Kitty' on Netflix if you're open to another platform for a similar teen romance vibe. Another great 'movie like with love' that captures youthful romance is 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' series (also on Netflix but worth mentioning for fans of the genre). These shows capture that 'transformative summer' feeling, where characters grow and relationships deepen, much like Belly's journey. They often feature similar themes of first loves, navigating complex emotions, and the excitement of young adulthood, making them perfect for a cozy 'family night'. So next time you gather for a 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' marathon, whether it’s a 'season 3 night' or just rewatching your favorite episodes, remember to make it special with themed snacks and a lively debate. It's all about embracing the fun and the magic of Cousins Beach and sharing the 'pretty' moments!
