Fun Things to Do on Halloween at Home

Paint (or carve) pumpkins

Even on Halloween night, it’s never too late to decorate pumpkins. Try out some no-carve pumpkin ideas on the spookiest night of the year if you’re trapped indoors (or just want to stay home). It’s much less messy than carving pumpkins and kids adore it.

Host a Game Night

It’s always a good idea to have a game night, whether you’re with the kids or adult pals, but especially around Halloween. Playing your favorite card, board, or word game could suffice, but you could even join the Fright Night craze by organizing your own murder mystery game night or putting together a macabre scavenger hunt around the house, backyard, or neighborhood.

Hand Out Candy to Trick-Or-Treaters

You can still participate in trick-or-treating even if you aren’t going door-to-door. Make sure you have enough Halloween sweets on hand and give out treats to any neighborhood children dressed as ghosts and goblins that knock on your door.

Throw a Costume Fashion Show

If you and the kids cannot trick-or-treat this year, allow them to wear their Halloween shirts and continue the Halloween celebrations. So that your kids can still show off their costumes, take pictures, and get in the Halloween spirit, set up a fashion show in your living room or backyard.

Halloween Treats You Can Make

Halloween is all about the goodies, just like the majority of the main festivals. (And we’re talking candy specifically.) To celebrate the Halloween season, you can also bake some additional enjoyable goodies at home.

Decorate Halloween-themed cookies and cupcakes

Without lots of goodies, Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween, right? For a night of decorating cookies or cupcakes (or both!) with icing spiderwebs, candy corn graveyards, and marshmallow ghosts, gather your children, invite the neighbors, or host a group of friends.

Make s’mores

On a chilly October night, there’s nothing better than toasting marshmallows over an open fire (s’mores aren’t just for summer campfires!). This traditional autumn activity is the ideal thing to do on Halloween if you and your family aren’t completely sugared out by the end of the evening. (And a great way to finish off some candy from Halloween.)

Is no campfire available? S’mores are simple to prepare in an oven or air fryer.

Mix Up Some Halloween Cocktails

Who says Halloween has to be a kid’s holiday? Make a batch of spooky Halloween-themed cocktails that everyone will enjoy and invite your friends over (or organize a virtual happy hour). They are ideal for drinking as children decorate cookies and pumpkins.

Host a wine and candy-tasting party

Oh, you did read that right. Learn which wines to pair with which traditional Halloween candies, then invite some friends over for a sommelier-worthy wine and candy tasting (well, maybe).

Fun Things to do on Halloween on the Town

There will undoubtedly be some other spooky entertainment you can take in while out and about or something else you can do in its place, even if you decide not to go trick-or-treating. Advice: While you’re out on the town, you might want to leave a bowl of candy out for any trick-or-treaters who come by.

Go to the movies

If you’re not interested, there’s no need to see a scary or holiday movie. Consider watching a romantic comedy at the cinema if you simply want to escape the Halloween chaos. Additionally, even if you’re not a huge fan of Halloween, you can still use the occasion to indulge in copious amounts of candy while watching a movie.
