About this

This guide offers ideas for enjoying Halloween while keeping your distance, from contactless candy delivery to outdoor decorations.

Have everyone wear a fabric or medical mask when trick-or-treating; choose a costume that incorporates a mask.
Make individual goodie bags instead of a shared bowl of candy; attach them to garage/fence or use chutes/candy cannons for contact-free delivery.
If not accepting visitors, turn off your porch light and remove outdoor decorations to avoid confusion.
Consider alternative activities like visiting a pumpkin patch, drive-through haunted house, or outdoor movie.
Set up virtual parties for kids to show off costumes and play games like trivia or charades.
For small family parties, plan activities such as making treats, crafts, face paint, spider hunts, ghost stories, and indoor decorations with spooky music.
