Halloween isn’t just one night anymore. Between pumpkin patches, costume test runs, trick-or-treat trails, zoo adventures, and colorful seasonal events, spooky season gives families plenty of reasons to get out and make memories all month long.
This year, That’s it. is getting in on the fun. We’ll be popping up at family-friendly Halloween events across the country with real fruit snacks in tow, including celebrations at Sesame Place, Crayola Experience, and Lincoln Park Zoo.
Whether you’re planning a full day out or creating Halloween traditions at home, here are a few easy ways to make the season extra fun, festive, and snack-ready.
How Can Families Make the Most of Halloween Season?
You definitely don’t have to wait until October 31 to celebrate. A little planning can turn the whole season into one long Halloween adventure.
-
Pick a Halloween destination. Plan a trip to a pumpkin patch, zoo, theme park, fall festival, or trick-or-treat event. Plenty of family attractions transform for spooky season, which means those costumes can get more than one night out.
-
Have a pumpkin decorating night. Carve them, paint them, add stickers, or let everyone come up with their own creative design.
-
Give costumes a test run. A pre-Halloween outing is the perfect excuse to test-drive costumes before the big night. Bonus: you can get the family photos before everyone is three treats deep.
-
Pack snacks for the adventure. Long days of Halloween fun can work up an appetite. Bring along easy, convenient options like Mini Fruit Bars, Fiber Fruit Bars Fun Size, and Fruit Crunchables to enjoy so you have something simple and made with real fruit on hand between activities.
-
Plan for food allergies. Before heading out, check ingredient labels and pack trusted snacks for anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions. A little preparation means less worry and more time for Halloween fun!
