This spring, Pizza Hut is making it easier for mom and dad to put a fun and delicious meal on the table with the new Pizza Hut Dinner Box. Available now until June 3, 2012, the Dinner Box packs an entire family friendly meal — appetizer, main course and dessert — into one convenient box!
Priced at just $19.99 the Pizza Hut Dinner Box includes: 10 signature WingStreet boneless chicken bites, ½ a PANormous Pizza and Chocolate Dunkers, a dessert kids will crave all the way from Saturday to Thursday.
“Friday is typically the night when families want to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Mom and Dad are tired from the busy week, and the kids are excited about maybe getting to stay up late and enjoy fun time with the family,” says David Vivenes, Yum! Restaurants Canada Chief Marketing Officer. “At Pizza Hut one of our main priorities is providing easy meal solutions for mom and dad so that more time can be spent enjoying special moments together. And Pizza Hut’s new Dinner Box does just that.”
Make Friday Family Fun Night!
Here are a few ideas from the family fun experts at Pizza Hut to make your Friday nights extra special:
Theme nights
Add a little “extra cheese” to family night by setting a theme!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:Fancy Friday – everyone dresses up in their fanciest clothes
PJ Party
Lights Out Friday – see how long you can last using nothing but candlelight
Favourite movie or book theme
Phone a friend night!
Double your family for a night and let everyone invite a friend.
Family Story Telling
Try telling a group story at the dinner table. Have one person start a story, and then go around the table taking turns finishing it. A good story can produce countless family laughs and will be retold for years to come.
Family Movie Review
After watching a movie together, take turns pretending to be movie critics and reviewing what you thought of it. Who were your favourite characters? What was your favourite part?, etc.
Fun with Food – Custom Design Your Dessert
Making dessert as a family is a fun way to share a moment – cupcakes that need to be decorated or fruit kabobs are fun options.
Order-in Fridays
Designate one or two Fridays a month as order-in nights. Mark these on the calendar, so that everyone can look forward to them.
1 of my Canadian readers is going to win a $50 Pizza Hut Gift Card to enjoy a TGIF Family Night with a Pizza Hut Dinner Box or any of their tasty menu items. At $19.99 for the Pizza Hut Dinner Box the winner can have 2 TGIF Family Nights!

We do the occasional breakfast dinner with pancakes, bacon and eggs.
We choose a family movie in the weekend & had a realx evening eating around the sofa.
We all prepare it together, watching the food cook in the oven seems to be their favourite part

Dinner and a movie 🙂
Use the good china.
Sometimes we answer questions about what would you do if……. (each person makes up a question)
Everyone helps decide what the meals should be, and once a week we have a fend for yourself night eating up the leftovers.
Once a week, I will let my hubby to prepare family dinner. And that’s the most happy time for the kids cause usually my hubby will grant the kids’ request – “have happy meals as dinner tonight” – so that daddy does not need to cook and kids can eat what they want and it has become a family fun night!
Eating in family room while watching a movie makes family dinners fun!
Eating out is a special treat for us, so it doesn’t happen very often. So I like to make it a date with my boys, to spend some time just with them.
I commented in your other post that I did the quiz and “found out” I’m a Trendy Mom! 🙂
I’m a NATURAL MOM!
we have mini food nights where we make miniature versions of food (mini tacos, mini burgers, mini pizza). everyone loves it !
Get the kids to help prepare so its a group activity….it’s more fun to eat what you helped to make too.

We all contribute something to the meal whether it be helping to make the main dinner or dessert or setting the table.
Well there are only hubby and I and we are so old we are just happy to have teeth to eat pizza, haha but seriously when all my nieces and nephews come over and we eat and play games and the house is full of noise, I love it!

We all help putting dinner together. The little ones can help by setting the table.
We will turn the tv on and watch a movie(can see the tv from the kitchen). Helps keep everyone at the table thats for sure.
Actually, I’m trying to make dinner more formal (think quiet conversation and good manners) and leave the fun for after dinner. But we still love pizza 🙂
Dinner seems to be the time we talk about our day and have a great time enjoying the food.
I love having a Pizza night! That’s always fun!
We share what we call “silly suppers” (‘mosquito eyebrows on toast”, etc…) which always gets a lot of giggles.
Let everyone chose a meal one night a week
DESSERT!!

We clean up together – and always have yummy dessert!

We sometimes eat in the living room…at our coffee table on the floor!
How I make Family Dinners Fun….I cook a different comfort food that everyone LOVES every Friday!
we try and get everyone involved in the process of cooking and making the food.
I bake sugar-free now, so I’m always coming up with fun ways to make food sweeter with whole fruits and veggies. My experiments good and bad are always fun.

In the soccer season, we eat all our meals picnic style outside and we each choose a different item to bring.
I try to make things the kids enjoy eating…That is enough to make it fun… if it works out that they actually like it.
We make something that we can all participate in making. Making personal pizza’s is a fun one cause we can all make our own type of pizza and share it with others and try other family members pizza’s. Makes for a fun night that gets some creativity flowing!
We have candle light dinners (in candle holders that the kids have made) Or sometimes everyone-make-their-own-salad nights where all the ingredients are on the table and people add the veggies they want. My kids are salad fans so this works out great for us.
We love making pizza together with the pillsbury crescent rolls, it’s so easy, kid friendly and the kids absolutely love it!
I have my daughter help in the kitchen; she’s always so proud and chatty while we eating.
we like to sit around the big table and only use candles as lighting at dinner. They think its cool!!
We try differnt foods a lot if that is counted as fun. Otherwise we don’t really regard dinner as fun time, but rather as learning manners, talking about our days time.
New recipes and input for meals
We like to talk about how our days were, sitting at the table all together.
We have Taco Tuesdays – the kids love the assemble possibilities, it’s quick easy and fun
Try to make dinner fun by making their favourites
Oh geez, dinner’s are not fun in our house. Every time I put something in front of my 5 yr old he tells me it makes him gag. Unless it’s McDonalds, Pizza or Hot dogs. LOL But we do like to all talk and share at the table every night.
talk about our day together
We have picnics on the kitchen floor.
My mom and I are both “Natural Mom’s”.
we do a Taco night or Taco Salad night where each makes their own creation.

Cook together 🙂
The kids like to have ‘picnics’ on the living room floor on a blanket – this is something that I used to do with my siblings when I was a kid…it’s the simple things!
One will make the salad, another will make homemade dressing, I will do the potatoes and hubby the meat. We all contribute in our own way.
We allow the kids to take turns choosing the Friday night meal for the family – they enjoy their week.
I make a fun dessert for everyone.
Having theme nights, ie mexican, order in, picnic, horror night, etc.
dinner and a movie theme nights
We eat outside when there is nice weather!
Kid assembled pizza
Natural mom

To make family dinners fun how about pack it up and eat outside! Picnic anyone?!?! 🙂
There are nights when I do put in effort (themes, ambience, etc.) but to make it the special always is to make sure that we’re all seated sans tv so we can talk about our day.
I let my boy help make dinner….it makes it fun for him, and hes more likely to eat it!!
Make your own pizza night
We play board games and watch movies while we eat diner
My grandson like to play music to match certain dinner themes we have, like if its mexican food then he turns on the music to match it on the satilite for the sirrus channel, and we make paper waiter hats for fun

Family dinners are fun when we try new recipes.

We have game night on Fridays and usually have pizza and wings.
my son loves to help with dinner prep and set the utensils on the table. At 3 he is a mean guacamole maker!
Sometimes we eat outside… my daughter thinks that is great! I also learned a tip from Kate Gosslin on Jon and Kate +8 and one night we had ice cream for dinner just any flavor of ice cream, and any toppings we wanted- that was fun 🙂
When the weather is good, we have an outdoor picnic. My son loves that.
friday is theme night
Yummmm! And no cooking! Perhaps it’s a pizza night for us tonight!
Between bites, we share our day’s events and moments that touched our hearts. Then pretend to look out the window playing I SPY, while a piece of my pizza goes missing – Hmmmm hungry boy to my left …..

we put our baby in his bumbo up on our dinner table so we can all be together. We all get a kick out of it
Sitting around the dinner table and talking about how every one’s day was is something fun that we do at dinner.

The best dinners are eatting outdoors on the deck or a picnic!
We always go around the table and tell about what our favorite parts of the day are.
we have theme nights!
Once a week every person in my family gets to choose a meal that they’d like to have. It gives everyone an evening a week to look forward to.
The kids get one night a week where they get to decide what is for dinner and make it (with our help, of course). They love it!
We make home made pizza, so everyone can help choose toppings.
Buffet style. We prepare a lot of food in advance for busy weeks, so sometimes we just set up a buffet where everyone can have a bit of everything!
We go for picnics when the weather is good.
Love love love Pizza Hut so much! Pizza is sooo addicting~Just tweeted to enter 🙂
BBQ-ing is always fun for dinners 🙂
we love to laugh at dinner whether it is doing something funny like showing us his food (20 months old) or a little tickle we love just having the time together
