Kids love anything spooky-sweet! Create a snack table full of themed treats:

“Oogie Boogie” popcorn bags
Mickey-shaped Rice Krispie treats
Pumpkin spice dog biscuits for your furry friends

🧁 Mom Tip: Use orange and purple silicone baking cups for easy cleanup!

🕯️ 4. Disney Villain Dance-Off

Turn on a Disney Halloween playlist. “Grim Grinning Ghosts,” “This Is Halloween,” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” are excellent spooky music!
Have a family dance-off and let each person channel their favorite villain.

💃 Bonus Tip: Add glow sticks and dim the lights for extra drama.

📚 5. Spooky Storytime Corner

Set up a cozy nook with blankets, pillows, and fairy lights. Read aloud from The Nightmare Before Christmas or Hocus Pocus: The Illustrated Novelization.

🐶 For pups: Give them a quiet chew toy while the kids enjoy storytime magic.

👻 6. DIY Trick-or-Treat Trail

If you’d rather skip the crowded streets, create a trick-or-treat trail in your backyard or living room.
Hide candy, dog treats, and small surprises inside Disney-themed bags.
