5 Cosy Ways to Celebrate Halloween (No Gore, Just Magic)

If you're more into candlelight than cobwebs, and pumpkins over jump-scares — this one's for you. Halloween can be a soft, magical, and soul-soothing celebration. Here’s how to do it the Hello Autumn way.

1. Host a Candlelit Pumpkin Carving Night
Use soft lighting, playlists, and autumnal snacks. Bonus: sprinkle cinnamon inside your carved pumpkin for a subtle scent.

2. Watch Cosy (Not Creepy) Films
Think Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, Harry Potter, or Coraline. Blanket + popcorn = perfection.

3. Make a Witchy Autumn Board
Charcuterie, hot cider, and treats shaped like moons and stars. Pinterest-worthy and delicious.

4. Go on a Twilight Walk
Lantern in hand. Look out for fairy lights, neighbours' pumpkins, or the full moon.

5. Set Up an Autumn Altar
Use leaves, candles, crystals, dried oranges. It’s a beautiful way to connect with the season’s energy.

Halloween doesn’t have to be spooky to be special. Let it be soulful, sweet, and softly lit.
