4 Ways You Can Take TGIF's Family Night From the '90s to Right Now

We've partnered with Netflix's Fuller House to help you reinvent those TGIF family nights of the '90s we all loved and remember so well.

In the fast-paced, always connected world we live in today, family time has become about as rare as sending a fax. But there's hope! Check out four simple tips you can use this week that are guaranteed to bring back those feel-good Friday nights of the '90s faster than you can say "Uncle Jessie." And just in time for the seriously epic launch of Fuller House on Netflix.

1 Go big when it comes to snacks.

Cherry Coke and Ring Pops need not apply. Take things to the next level with cereal milk doughnuts or one of our all-time favorites, cherry-chocolate popcorn. Mix it up a bit with a seriously updated snack spread. Keep it healthy or indulge. Whatever you do, have options!

Take a cue from the '90s and make TGIF a phone-free environment. Make sure all phones are on silent, or even better, get them out of the living room for the duration of the shows. Life is better without the distractions.

Remember sundae bars? Why did we ever stop making those into a "thing," right? Take a break and have everyone create their own sweet treats before starting back up. Make sure your ice cream spread has plenty of flavor and topping options so everyone in the family can get crafty with their scoops.
