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.
