Reba McEntire and Rex Linn have embraced a unique and heartfelt tradition this Thanksgiving, opting to spend the holiday at the movies instead of dining at a lavish restaurant or traveling to an exotic destination. The couple, who are in the midst of their first holiday season as engaged partners, took to social media to share their experience, complete with amusing snippets from their outing, including a mishap involving spilled popcorn.
In her post, McEntire provided a glimpse of their classic movie snacks, capturing the essence of a playful holiday. She enjoyed Reese’s Pieces and soda, paired with the ever-popular popcorn, while humorously recounting, “Thanksgiving at the movies. Saw Hamnet! Somebody spilled popcorn…and he wasn’t bald.”
Earlier in November, McEntire spoke to People about her and Linn’s plans to establish new traditions together as a couple, highlighting their unique movie outing as a key component. She expressed excitement about this new approach, mentioning, “We’re gonna go see a double-header at the movies and go out to eat.”
The couple’s Thanksgiving celebration was particularly special as it marked the first holiday season they would celebrate as fiancées. Linn popped the question to McEntire on Christmas Eve in 2024, but they kept their engagement under wraps until the following September, a delay influenced by the tragic California wildfires that unfolded shortly after they had planned to announce their joyful news.
Looking ahead, McEntire and Linn are also preparing for the Christmas cheer, recently sharing snippets of their tree-decorating activities. In a delightful video, Linn helped McEntire by handing her an angel for the top of their Christmas tree, showcasing their joyful partnership during the festive season.
This new chapter is not only about creating memorable traditions for themselves but also celebrating the love they share, making this holiday season all the more significant.
