Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th each year with your favorite gal pals by your side! First introduced by the TV show Parks and Recreation, this feel-good holiday has quickly become a beloved tradition for friends everywhere. It’s the perfect excuse to pause the busy schedules, gather your besties, and celebrate the friendships that support, empower, and uplift you all year long.
Whether you’ve known each other since childhood or met more recently, Galentine’s Day is all about connection (i.e., sharing stories, laughing until your cheeks hurt, and creating new memories together). From cozy nights in to glam nights out, there’s no wrong way to celebrate as long as it’s filled with fun, friendship, and of course, delicious food.
At Mundo Catering, we believe every great gathering deserves equally great bites. Thoughtfully curated snacks and shareable treats can turn a simple get-together into an unforgettable experience. For inspiration, here are three ways to celebrate (plus snack pairings to make the night even more delicious!).
romcom movie night
Nothing beats a classic movie night with your best friends! Host a romcom movie marathon with classics like Legally Blonde, When Harry Met Sally, or even How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Bonus points if everyone shows up in themed pajamas or brings a movie-inspired snack!
Snack Pairing: Create a popcorn bar with a variety of toppings like cheese seasoning, nutritional yeast, nuts, chocolate chips, plus a selection of fruit!
book exchange
If you have a literary-loving friend group, a book exchange is a great way to bond over your favorite reads! Start the night off with some fun games, like literary trivia. Then, have everyone bring a book they love, wrap it up, and exchange it Secret Santa style.
Snack Pairing: Add a charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, and crackers. Go for a cozy drink like spiced chai to pair with it!
afternoon tea party
Channel your inner royal, and host an afternoon tea party! Set the table with teacups, fresh flowers, and a tiered tray with classic finger foods. Offer an array of teas – from Earl Gray to Chamomile – and invite your girl squad.
Snack Pairing: Scones with clotted cream and jam, cucumber sandwiches, and lemon bars are perfect for a tea party!
