Friends That Are Family Storybox Playlist

Who says family only shows up at the dinner table on turkey day? Sometimes the people who feel most like home to us are the ones we choose — our soul family.

This Storybox Playlist celebrates those magical bonds that go beyond those family ties: the neighborhood kid who becomes like a sibling, the fairy prince who’s really a friend to all, the unlikely duo who can’t imagine life without each other. These eight stories are love letters to our chosen family and all the quirky, wonderful ways friendship becomes something even deeper.

These stories are perfect for cozying up together for a friends-giving feast (with your favorite people, naturally) and remembering that family isn’t just about who you’re related to — it’s who makes your heart feel like you belong.
