Next month is Halloween! Things are a little different this year due to COVID-19 but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have a good time. Below are some ideas for celebrating Halloween in a safe and socially distant way!

Host a Halloween Dinner

Who doesn’t love food? What about themed dinners? A great way to get in the Halloween spirit is to host a Halloween Dinner! You can decorate, dress up, bake orange and black goodies, and have a few friends over. Asking friends or family to bring their own food or Halloween items could be a good way to get everyone involved as well!

Rent an Airbnb in your Area and watch Halloween Movies

For a fun way to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve, consider renting a local Airbnb for the night and watching Halloween movies! Airbnb offers the benefits of a hotel without the hassle of worrying about germs that come from a populated hotel. Some Airbnbs are even Halloween-themed, so keep a watchful eye for a spooky-themed house! If you would like to book an Airbnb for a Halloween movie night or fun get-away, visit their website at airbnb.com!

Below you will find some Halloween-themed Airbnbs around the world:

House of Magic (Harry Potter Themed) (Antwerpen Vlaanderen, Belgium)

Bake spooky goodies

When in doubt, bake something you love to eat! Baking is great because it can reduce stress and almost all recipes are able to be modified for various dietary restrictions. You can find super cute Halloween-themed baked good recipes online from places like Pinterest. Below are a few recipes!

Fun DIY Costumes

As fun as getting a Halloween costume can be, it can also be great to create your own. Not only will you get your creative juices flowing but you will likely save some money and maybe learn to sew. You can pull inspiration from online sources and create an outfit from clothes and items you already have!

Dress up your pets

Have some fun and dress up your furry friend for Halloween! You can find cute dog and cat Halloween costumes at most pet stores or you can find them on Etsy. There are even costumes for rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and more.
