There’s something magical about settling in for a movie night as the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp. November is the perfect time to cozy up with loved ones (or just yourself!) under a warm blanket, queue up some feel-good films, and let the outside world melt away. We’ve rounded up our top movie marathon picks for the season and paired them with our favorite Seek & Swoon throws for the ultimate cozy experience.
So, get the popcorn ready, dim the lights, and prepare for a night of comfort and cinematic escape. Here’s your go-to guide for a perfect November movie night!

Playful and vibrant, the Rainbow Ombré adds a pop of color and warmth that everyone will love. It’s a family-friendly throw that brings a bit of fun to the couch.
5. Documentary Darlings: Curiosity & Inspiration
For a cozier night in with a side of curiosity, explore beautiful documentaries that inspire and enlighten. We recommend Our Planet, Chef’s Table, or Won’t You Be My Neighbor? These captivating documentaries will stir your sense of wonder, connecting you with nature, food, and the kindness of humanity.
Cozy Pairing: Manzanita Ombré Throw
With serene blues and greens inspired by the Pacific Northwest's Oregon Coast, the Manzanita Ombré Throw perfectly complements the calm, introspective vibes of documentary night.
Setting the Scene for Maximum Comfort
To make your movie night extra special, here are a few tips to set the scene and get maximum coziness out of your evening:
Popcorn & Treats: Go beyond butter! Try fun flavors like caramel drizzle, cinnamon sugar, or a sprinkle of sea salt and dark chocolate.
Soft Lighting: Dim the lights, light a candle, or add a string of fairy lights for a warm glow.
Layer Up: For those really chilly nights, pile on a few pillows and layer with another blanket. Our Seek & Swoon throws are perfect for adding warmth and texture to any setup.
