Fall is here and who can resist candy corn? I put together this fun harvest fall trail mix recipe that tastes amazing. It has just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. This would be fun to eat at home or as a snack at a Halloween or Fall Harvest party. It is very easy to make as well. You just add the ingredients and mix it up in bowl. So so simple.. right?!? It is a great Halloween Chex Mix.

The only trouble you will have is that you may need to double or triple the recipe because your friends and family will love it so much! The full recipe is below with all the easy ingredients and a button to print the recipe.

Some people have told me they had difficulty finding this fall candy assortment. It is available with Amazon Prime so you can have it delivered right to you! This recipe is so easy that is that you can put it together so quickly but it looks and tastes great.  This is a nut free trail mix so perfect for parties when you might be worried about nut allergies.

halloween cranberry cider

 

Looking for a fun kid-friendly easy drink for Halloween? This Halloween Apple Cider Punch recipe or Cranberry cider is perfect. There are just three ingredients – cranberry juice,  sparkling apple cider and grenadine. You can make these up very quickly in individual portions. Having the cranberry apple cider is individual portion is great for kids. You could also use a punch bowl if desired and have cranberry apple cider punch.

 

We made these drinks in mason jars with black lids with straw holes. I love that you can change the look of the mason jars with different lids, straws and vinyl decorations. (Lots of vinyl info here) The mason jars make this a fun Halloween drink but you could change the colored top and straws and vinyl decorations and this sparkling apple cider punch could be made for many holidays or celebrations.

With kids (or even adults) it is nice to have a lid so there are no spills during your Halloween party or event. In no time at all, you can mix up this punch and have a fancy and fun Halloween beverage.

If you want to make this Halloween drink for adults, you could spike the recipe with your favorite alcohol. Both vodka and rum would pair nicely with this recipe depending on your taste preference.

Sparking Cranberry Apple Cider Punch Ingredients

4 Cups Cranberry Juice
4 cups Sparkling apple cider
4 Tbsp Grenadine
Ice

How To Make Cranberry Cider for a Halloween Drink

  • Fill the 4 8oz glasses with ice 3/4 of the way full
  • Pour 1 cup of Sparkling apple cider in each glass
  • Pour 1 cup of Cranberry Juice on top of the cider
  • Add 1 Tbsp. Grenadine to each glass
  • Lightly stir

Family Halloween Costume Theme Ideas and More!

September 18, 2014 By Melissa Leave a Comment

I love Halloween and it is so fun to get the whole family involved including your pets! I am a HUGE fan of family themed costumes. If I could convince everyone, we would always have a Halloween theme. When my youngest was just a baby, my older daughter was in her Disney Princess phase. She dressed as Ariel and my baby girl was Sebastian.

What was great about the Ariel costume is that we used it for dress up for many years after that and even brought it with us to Disney World. Most Halloween costumes work great all year round for pretend play and dress up. This is a great time to check out costumes for your dress up bin too. BuyCostumes has Orange Tag Specials for only $10! New items are added each week. There is a super cute witch costume on sale this week for just $10! [Read more…]

Spookley The Square Pumpkin Movie and #Giveaway

October 24, 2011 By Melissa
This post may contain affiliate links that help support this site at no additional cost to you. Please read my disclosure page for more info.

spookley the square pumpkin movie giveaway toy

Looking for a fun frugal Halloween activity? Why not go see a matinee of Spookley the Square Pumpkin. Spookley is my favorite pumpkin and I’m so happy he’s back with Kidtoons this month! October is National Bullying Prevention Month and Spookley the Square Pumpkin has been named the official Spokes-Pumpkin through a partnership with PACER Center. PACER, a national organization based in Minneapolis,  Minn., works to expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life of all  children and young adults, including those with any disability,  and their  families, based on the concept of parents helping  parents . “The  culture of bullying won’t end until people across the country take action and  show children and teens that they care,” says Julie Hertzog, director of  PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, which sponsors the month. “We love the way Spookley touches the heart  and the mind with his message of tolerance and acceptance.” For my local readers, Spookley is showing  at Emagine Theaters.

Here’s the synopsis for Spookley the Square Pumpkin:  In a world where “the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins,” Spookley the Square Pumpkin is often teased by the other pumpkins because of his square shape. Soon, Spookley is befriended by Edgar, Allan and Poe, three hilarious spiders, who convince Spookley that, square or not, he has a right to be the “Pick of the Patch” on Halloween. A square pumpkin the “Pick of the Patch”? Not if mean round pumpkins Big Tom and Little Tom can help it. These two bullies tease and taunt Spookley because of his square roots. Although he is encouraged to continue to become the “Pick of the Patch” by kindly Jack Scarecrow and his bat sidekicks, Boris and Bella, Spookley isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens to destroy the entire patch. As the storm rolls the round pumpkins across  the patch towards a raging river below, Spookley’s square shape helps him save the day. Spookley realizes “it’s fine to be round while the weather is fair, but there are times it’s better to be a square!”

You can check out the Kidtoons website to find the participating theater nearest you. When I did that, I found that the cost to see the movie at the theater nearest me is just $3 a person. If you have checked on the prices before, you might want to again because Kidtoons ticket pricing has been reduced in some locations.

If you have never heard of Kidtoons, here is a bit more about them. They are dedicated to helping parents connect with their kids by bringing family friendly animated movies to the big screen every weekend at participating theatres across the country. Participating Kidtoons theatres showcase a fun, affordable family friendly matinee movie and provide a family experience filled with entertaining, kid-friendly characters, as well as cartoon shorts, music videos and sing-alongs before each movie. They even have fun giveaways for the kids, such as stickers, temporary tattoos, activity books or toys after every film.
