When it’s really cold outside, you don’t fancy going out. You prefer staying home, snuggling in bed, watching a DVD whilst drinking a hot choco. But what about if you could snuggle in bed, have a waiter bring you drinks and pop corn, and watch a movie premiere on a super huge screen to the sound of Dolby? Well, it’s now possible thanks to bed cinema’s new trend. Although this trend hasn’t caught on in the U.S., you might have the chance to check one out when traveling.

Don’t forget to take a selfie to make your friends jealous!
