Pumpkins at Morning Glory. —Lillie Claussen

The air is getting colder, and the spooky season has officially come and gone. With just a sprinkle of creativity, and a pinch of leftover Halloween spirit, you’ll be brewing up the perfect recipe for a festive fall. So grab your cauldron, gather your ingredients, and let’s get cooking!

Step 1: Set the Scene 

Make some candied apples and put them on the counter for all to enjoy. 

Step 2: Add a Dash of Adventure 

Get lost in the beauty of a pumpkin patch, or corn maze. Fall into the breathtaking views of the changing leaves and the crisp weather. 

Step 3: Keep Up That Halloween Spirit

It’s not too late to gather friends for a Halloween movie marathon — we recommend Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown! 

Step 4: Create the Perfect Costume 

Teenagers who celebrate Halloween still love dressing up. Flex your imagination to create the perfect Halloween costume for next year. Something spooky, funny, or original, make sure to add your own personal magic.

Step 5: Finish With a Sprinkle of Fun

The secret ingredient to a truly magical autumn isn’t in a spell book, music helps!
