Halloween is just around the corner and we’ve rounded up our favorite easy ways to make it festive without the stress. Whether you’re hosting a neighborhood party, handing out candy at the door, or just want your home to feel a little spooky and cozy, there’s something here for you. PLUS keep reading for your chance to win a $50 Visa gift card.

3 Easy Decor Ideas

  1. Apothecary jars. Fill mason jars with cinnamon sticks or gummy worms and add labels like “Eye of Newt” for an instant witchy display.
  2. Moody pumpkins. Swap classic orange for white, sage, and plum pumpkins, or give grocery-store pumpkins a coat of matte spray paint.
  3. Mummy lanterns. Wrap glass jars in cheesecloth, add googly eyes, and drop in a battery tea light. They’re safe around kids and pets.

3 Spooky-Simple Recipes


Mummy Hot Dogs

Wrap hot dogs in thin strips of crescent dough, leaving a gap for the face. Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, then dot on mustard eyes.

Witches’ Brew Punch

Mix 64 oz limeade, 1 liter lemon-lime soda, and 2 cups pineapple juice. Float scoops of lime sherbet on top and hang gummy worms over the bowl’s edge.

Pumpkin Spice Dip

Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup canned pumpkin, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping, chill for 30 minutes, and serve with apple slices or gingersnaps.

My favorite thing about Halloween is seeing all the cute costumes and how much fun the kids have. No costume just a grandma and grandpa passing out candy.
