The holidays are upon us, and for Latino families, it’s a time to reconnect, laugh until our sides hurt, and enjoy all the delicious food Abuelita puts on the table. But let’s be real: Keeping everyone entertained from morning cafecito to late-night sobremesas is no easy task.
Luckily, we’ve got your back with some fun (and drama-free) ideas to keep the whole family busy — from telenovela marathons to epic gaming nights, and everything in between. So grab your comfiest cobija and get ready for a holiday season packed with entertainment, thanks to fast & reliable Fios Home Internet!
Binge-Watch Telenovelas All Day With Abuelita
There’s no escaping it: If there’s a telenovela on, Abuelita’s got dibs on the remote. So why not turn it into a bonding moment? Set her up with a comfy spot and get ready for a non-stop rollercoaster of love triangles, betrayals, and secret twins (because what’s a telenovela without them?).
With Fios Home Internet, you can get Netflix & Max for your first 12 months–on Verizon. So Abuelita can stream all her favorite shows without worrying about catching the 10 PM rerun. Need a list of must-watch telenovelas? Start with classics like La Reina del Sur and Pasión de Gavilanes, then dive into modern hits like Rebelde, La Patrona, and Dueños del Paraíso. Now Abuelita can enjoy her novelas, worry-free, while the rest of the family gets in on the drama too!
Host a Family Movie Night with Latinx Favorites
Family movie nights are a holiday staple. Gather everyone and make it an event by setting up a cozy area with popcorn, blankets, and a lineup of Latinx flicks that everyone can enjoy. Whether it’s a Disney favorite dubbed in Spanish or a classic like “Y Tu Mamá También,” your movie night is sure to be a hit.
Get the Gamers in Your Family to Finally Agree on Something
Telenovelas may rule the day, but once the sun sets, it’s time for the gamers in your familia to take over! Gather the cousins for a little healthy competition (read: trash talk) and get your game on.
