Celebrate Halloween With Family, A Camera, & Candy
Celebrating Halloween this year might be a little challenging with all those social distancing and party restrictions prompted by the pandemic. But worry no more, all we need is a little extra dose of creativity to bring that spooky vibe. With this, here are some Halloween traditions and family-friendly alternatives that you can enjoy this year despite the presence of the COVID-19.
Pumpkin Carving
One of the best things to do with your family during the Halloween season is carving a pumpkin. First, go to your local farm for pumpkin picking. Once you've chosen the best pumpkin to carve, you can now let your little ones turn it into a masterpiece. However, make sure that you're on their side while carving the pumpkin to guarantee their safety.
Don't forget to pick up your smartphone and catch some cute pictures of the process!
Virtual Halloween Party
If you can't be with your loved ones physically this Halloween, then throwing a virtual fright night is such a great idea! First, choose your video conferencing platform. Many video-conferencing sites have amazing features now, like Zoom, House Party, Google Meet, and more.
After choosing your platform, decorate your house with some spooky props as you would do at a real-life party. Most importantly, prepare your Halloween costume for your virtual spooky night!
Binge-watch Scary Movies
Enjoy Halloween night with your family by going for random horror movies on Netflix. First, sign up for an account and proceed to payment. Once you've got your account, it's now time for some creepy movie marathon.
You can also check local listings of places hosting a drive-in Halloween movie event. Nothing beats horror movies on the big screen!
Halloween Snack Board
Trick or Treating might be canceled for this year but fret not! Your kids could still enjoy some Halloween treats for this year with your own made Halloween-themed charcuterie board. Fill in your board with your kid's favorite meats, cheese, crackers, and more; or add some sugary candy board to enjoy while binge-watching horror films.
Read Spooky Stories
