Valentine’s Day Movies for Kids (to Watch as a Family)
One of our favorite family traditions is Family Movie Night.
Every Friday, we gather on the couch to settle in and watch a movie together.
It’s the perfect bookend to a long week – that signals the weekend is here.
Over the years, it’s gotten a little cozier on the couch since our children have grown. However, as the room on my lap continues to shrink I cherish the time we have spent together.
Squished together with blankets and snacks in a darkened living room gives us a chance to bond, laugh, and enjoy an activity as a family.
My hope as a mom is that this tradition lasts long after we have to get a larger sofa to accommodate their ever-growing bodies 😉
Whenever there is a holiday coming up, you can bet your bottom dollar we will plan a movie night that goes along with the theme of the holiday.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we always choose a variety of movies that focus on the topics of family, friendship, kindness, and love.
Below you’ll find a carefully-curated list of family-friendly movies that your kids are sure to enjoy this Valentine’s Day.

The Best Valentine’s Day Movies for Kids
As you scroll through the suggestions on the list you will notice some new films, animated movies, and classic films that we all grew up watching.
My goal was to provide a varied list that covers themes such as family, friendship, and love – but are also appropriate for kids.
Just a heads up – These are movies that I have deemed appropriate for my own family. Before viewing, please read the ratings and watch the trailers to determine if you would like the show them in your own home.

"For parents looking for a clean and fun movie, without compromising your moral values- this one is great! It is so refreshing to be able to watch something with my young kids and not have to cover their eyes, sensor, or have to explain a borderline joke or line in the movie."

Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown
Category: Friendship and love
It's the day of love, yet again. Unfortunately for Charlie Brown, he still has no one to celebrate with. The rest of the Peanuts Gang are each figuring out their own way through Valentine’s Day - Linus looking high and low for that perfect card to send his beloved teacher; Lucy trying her hardest to get some recognition from Schroeder; Snoopy and Woodstock having a jolly time placing cards on one another’s noses. Will Charlie find a Valentine in time?

This tale of a grumpy widower and stranded boy scout who set off on an adventure (that wasn't exactly planned) is a funny and heart-warming tale. Kids will love the silly antics and adults will get teary-eyed at the sentimental moments and the love that lasts even after someone is gone.
