Halloween 2020 is going to be a little different this year. But even if you’re not trick-or-treating in a traditional sense, there are lots of ways you can still enjoy this fun holiday activity.
For many kids, Halloween is the best event of the year! Being able to dress up in a costume and go door-to-door to get candy is something that they look forward too. Unfortunately, social distancing restrictions due to COVID-19 put a damper in Halloween 2020 plans. That’s why it’s important to know what your little ones should do if they’re going to trick-or-treat. It’s also a great idea to find other ways to celebrate this year.

Many of us may be getting tired of social distancing. But with flu season upon us, it’s more important than ever to practice distancing to slow the spread of coronavirus. Activities like trick-or-treating are easy ways to spread the disease.
If you’re experiencing symptoms pointing to the COVID-19 coronavirus or feeling sick, it’s important to sit this year out so you don’t negatively impact others. For those who do want to celebrate the season, be sure you’re aware of the social distancing guidelines.
The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) doesn’t recommend traditional trick-or-treating. Instead, they suggest that goodie bags be left on yards or driveways for families to grab as they go by. Things like crowded costume parties and haunted houses are also a no-no.
However, Halloween 2020 alternatives can include backyard gatherings or virtual costume contests where people can show off their duds. It’s just important to follow social distancing rules, so make sure to avoid crowd formation while spending the night rambling.
Even though traditional trick-or-treating might not be your best Halloween option, there are plenty of ways you can still enjoy Halloween 2020 activities. Share your own health and safety tips on FamilyApp with other users!
Even with the restrictions, the situation offers a lot of options for creativity and new traditions. Yes, there are many things you can do to enjoy your time this Halloween!
Maybe this is your year for some spectacular pumpkin carving or an epic costume dance party with just your family. If you still need candy, why not try a Halloween candy hunt, similar to an Easter egg hunt around your backyard.
