This post is sponsored by General Mills but my love for their cereal and family fun are all my own.
The Big G Cereal Movies campaign going on right now is one that I absolutely love. I have been a fan of Big G cereals ever since I was a kid. My favorite cereal is Golden Grahams. I have just always loved that cereal. It tastes so yummy. Another reason why I am a fan of the Big G cereal brand is because of all the work that this brand does for schools. Their Boxtops program has helped a lot of schools get the resources that they need. Now I have another reason to love Big G even more. Now you can have a family movie night for free and it is all thanks to Big G cereals.
One of my family’s favorite things to do together is to get together and watch a movie. Whenever we have a movie night, we always pick something fun to watch, like a sci-fi or horror film (like those listed on HellHorror.com). When we do this we always make sure we have a great stack of movies and some awesome snacks. This is so we can sit down for hours and not have to move. Now Big G Cereal has given us the opportunity to combine our love for their cereal and movies. Big G cereal now has a great list of family-friendly movies for free. This promotion is known as Big G Cereal Movies. It is super easy to do.
- You buy two boxes of specially marked Big G cereal. In order to get the movies it requires two codes.
-
Look inside your boxes and retrieve your codes.
-
Head over to the Big G Cereal Website
-
Enter the two codes you retrieved from the two Big G cereal boxes.
-
Choose from 10 movies. We chose Diary of a Wimpy Kid. :
- Then you choose where you would like to watch your movie. You can watch the movies on your TV, laptop, phone, or tablet. And if you prefer a more immersive movie experience, then investing in a quality soundbar (https://www.vizio.com/en/sound-bar/elevate) would also be a smart choice.
Another thing that will take movie night for your family up a notch is by making the tasty snacks offered on the side of each Big G cereal box. The brand my family and I chose was Frosted Cheerios. We made the snack offered on the side. Check it out below:
Unfortunately by the time I remembered to take pictures it was all gone. My kids enjoyed making and eating this yummy snack and want to make it again soon. But thanks to Big G cereal movie night in our home was an absolute success we all enjoyed the movie. We plan on going to purchase more cereal so we can watch another Big G Cereal movie.

I have heard of this program and I still need to look in my pantry to see if my Big G cereals have the code.. Awesome promotions.

Heard about this just recently and plan on getting my free movie as soon as my kids can finish their Trix.

This sounds like a fantastic program. Whenever I am hungry, but too lazy to cook, I grab a bowl and pour some cereal. It is satisfying, yet not too fulling. I love that, especially at night. 🙂

At first I was like what is big G? We would enjoy it more without GMO but we still buy it 🙂
MommaDJane says
My family are big cereal fans. We eat it for breakfast with milk and dry as a snack. Buying two boxes during one trip to the store is a norm for us. It would be easy to secure two codes for a free movie. Which we also love family movie night. What a great deal!

An excellent snack choice. We eat golden Grahams and honey nut Cheerios.
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
I love that having a free movie helps to promote family time. We dont buy cereal often but I do enjoy a nice snack of Honey Nut Cheerios every now and then. Might be worth picking up a box to get a movie, too.
