Halloween will be different this year. Depending on where you live<\/a>, kids may still be able to trick-or-treat, but there are some regions where they won\u2019t be able to. You also may not feel comfortable taking your children out even if trick-or-treating is allowed. Check out your province’s website to find out what is happening in your region.<\/p>\n

Large gatherings are discouraged so teens and adults of all ages will be missing out on Halloween parties. That doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t still make the holiday feel special and maybe even create some new traditions. Here are our easy tips and tricks to make this Halloween 2020 fun:<\/p>\n

Dress Up<\/h2>\n

    Similar to an Easter egg hunt, the Halloween treat hunt will bring fun and excitement to the holiday. Do it outdoors in the daylight if you have a backyard and decorate to make it more festive for the kids. Buy each child a Halloween pumpkin candy holder. If having the Halloween treat hunt outdoors isn\u2019t an option, do it indoors and give each child an area to have their \u201chunt\u201d in.<\/p>\n

    Host a Movie Marathon for Your Family<\/h2>\n
    \"Movies\"

    Halloween is all about ghouls and goblins and things that go bump in the night. Start out the evening (or afternoon) with more age appropriate movies. As it gets later, and younger children go to bed, it\u2019s time for classic horror movies that will keep you up into All Saint\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

    Classics for kids like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Casper and Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie will keep younger children happy and nightmare free. Older kids will like Hocus Pocus, Goosebumps or even The Addams Family. Binge watch all of the Halloween movies (there are 11 in total) over the weekend if you love horror movies. If you don\u2019t like horror movies, try Ghostbusters, Practical Magic or Edward Scissorhands to still get in on the theme.<\/p>\n

    Get Your Snacks Ready<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Nothing goes with a movie quite like popcorn. Enjoy classic popcorn or make a Halloween themed treat like this Frankenstein Popcorn \u2018Brain\u2019 \u2013 click here for the recipe. If princesses are more your child\u2019s thing, there is also a recipe for Princess Balls. There is even a recipe for Gigantic Turtle Candies for your animal lovers all courtesy of Orville Redenbacher<\/a>. We already know that you\u2019ve stocked up on candy \u2013 so make sure to have some available in fun, horror themed mugs.<\/p>\n

    To Wrap it Up (Like a Mummy)<\/h2>\n

    Make your own magic. If you are just indoors with your bubble or loved one, cook a fabulous dinner or try a spook-tacular cocktail<\/a>. Keep Halloween alive this year, whatever the holiday looks like.<\/p>\n
