Hawaii Movie Night Activities

If you’re looking for something to do before or after your movie, there are plenty of options to choose from! You could also get more ideas in our Moana movie night guide!

  • Play a Board Game like Ohana Mana or Latice Hawaii (both are up to 4 players 8+ years old)
  • Learn the Hula for free on YouTube!
  • Listen to a Hawaiian music playlist and start a dance party!
  • Create a lei necklace

We love to decorate with coconuts, hula skirts, and tropical themed paper plates and colorful napkins!

Now that you know what you’ll do, it’s time to plan your Hawaiian movie night menu!

Hawaiian Movie Night Menu

Hawaiian Themed Movie Night Menu

We created our own Hawaiian Themed Movie Night menu after visiting Maui and falling in love with their unique banana bread and cream horns! Below, you’ll find all of the best Hawaii themed snacks and dishes to serve!

Hawaiian banana bread

Maui’s Aunt Sandy’s Banana Bread

This Hawaiian Banana Bread recipe is inspired by our trip to Maui. We discovered Aunt Sandy’s Banana Bread, and I knew I had to try to recreate it for our Hawaii movie night! It’s delicious and a must-have snack!

Hawaiian Fruit Salad in a bowl

Hawaiian Fruit Salad

This fruit salad is a must-have for movie night, and you can even make it the day before if you want! It’s even better the next day!

Grilled Pineapple

This grilled pineapple also has brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon on it! It’s absolutely delicious and the perfect side or starter for a Hawaiian movie night!

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Pineapple Teriyaki Recipe with rice

Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki

Poi

Poi isn’t something you’ll necessarily like if you’re not used to it, but we had to include it on the menu for fun! It’s a made from pounded bananas and pineapples mixed with coconut cream. It’s a local stable in Hawaii, but it doesn’t taste too great if you’re not used to it.

Hawaiian Cream Horns

Copycat Stillwell’s Cream Horns

These Hawaiian cream horns are light, fluffy and delicious! Plus, they’re pretty easy to make and can be made the day before if you’d like as well!

Now you have everything to host an epic Hawaiian Movie Night at home! Tag us on Instagram @movienightsathome to show us how your party went!

Thinking of visiting Hawaii in real life? We have a great 5 Day Maui Itinerary we used when we went!
