Keep reading to learn 5 Halloween celebration ideas for 2021.
1. Throw a Costume Party
If you want to have a wild Halloween night, invite some friends over for a costume party.
To prepare, put up some Halloween party decorations, put out party food and drinks, and get the spooky music blasting. And if you’re over 21, make some fun Halloween cocktails or get pumpkin beer!
Pro tip: if you want to have the perfect costume, get it dry cleaned or altered before the party.
2. Make Spooky Treats
If you’re over eating Halloween candy, make some spooky treats instead! Here are some desserts you can make:
Caramel apples
Rice Krispie treat mummies
Pumpkin bread
S’mores dip
Ghost shaped sugar cookies
“Bloody” red velvet cake
Candy corn cupcakes
Pro tip: need to lay off the sugar because of overall health or medications? Make savory food like bandaged wrapped severed toes! Don’t worry, they’re just pigs in a blanket.
3. Watch Scary Movies

IT
