"There are so many memories I have from growing up with two incredible grannies - baking pies, gardening, going on long walks - but nothing gives me those ultra-cozy vibes like rewatching the movies and shows I watched with my grannies. From big technicolor musicals to old black-and-white comedies and a whole lot of super cheesy, wholesome television shows, this brand of entertainment is peak Granny-core."
"And trust me when I tell you, a lot of these options would not just be on any old comfort-watching entertainment list. There's something very specific about these choices that reminds us of our grannies, our grandmothers, our memaws, our nanas. Maybe it was a movie she watched as a kid, or one she remembers showing your parents when they were little, but no matter what, you know it's going to hit in the best possible way."
Growing up with grandmothers creates vivid memories like baking pies, gardening, and long walks that pair with rewatched films and shows to produce ultra-cozy feelings. Granny-core entertainment spans big technicolor musicals, black-and-white comedies, cheesy wholesome television, adventures, true crime, romances, and occasional splashy musical numbers. These selections often come from titles grandmothers watched in their youth or recommended to parents, creating intergenerational nostalgia. Cozy viewing rituals—heavy quilts, snacks, and familiar programs—function as comforting time capsules that transport viewers back to family moments. Recommended titles include The Absent-Minded Professor, Little House on the Prairie, and Benji, with streaming availability noted for some.
