How to Celebrate Halloween during Quarantine
This year Halloween is going to be different. Many people I found are bummed out and even very depressed that trick or treating and Halloween parties are discouraged to stay safe. Just because Halloween isn’t going to be the usual outdoor activities doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy and celebrate Halloween.
So what can you do? Try these suggestions:
Halloween movie zoom parties
Wear costumes on video and voice call with friends
Celebrate Halloween online virtually if you play an MMO
Make your own Halloween candy
Make Halloween-inspired supper
Decorate your living space for the holidays
Pick up a chocolate Halloween cookie house at Trader Joes
Halloween inspired online DnD campaign
Online multiplayer Halloween games such as Among Us, JackBox’s Murder Mystery Trivia party, phantasmaphobia
Pick up any spooky tv shows and binge-watch
If you are artsy create a Halloween inspired piece
These are a handful of things I’ve come up with to hopefully come with to combat the Halloween COVID blues. Feel free to brainstorm and come up with more ideas. Remember self (s)care is important and enjoying a holiday you love during these times can be helpful for your mental health.
