Can\u2019t go Trick or Treat this year? Not to worry!
We\u2019ve got lots of fun way to help celebrate Halloween with your family at home! <\/center><\/p><\/div>\n

What Are Family-Friendly Alternatives to Trick or Treating?<\/h2>\n

Ghouls, ghosts, goblins and more, if you\u2019re excited about the upcoming holiday, you\u2019re not alone. An estimated 175 million Americans<\/a> will celebrate Halloween this year. But not everyone who loves Halloween enjoys trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s simply not your thing, the weather\u2019s bad, the kids have colds, or you want to kick back and relax this year, then you need some fun alternatives to trick-or-treating with your family. Here are five ways you can celebrate Halloween with your family in the comfort of your own Dallas home.<\/p>\n

Halloween Hunt<\/h3>\n

Take miniature pumpkins and have the family decorate them with either watercolors or paints before the holiday. Once they\u2019ve had time to dry, you can hide the pumpkins<\/a> around the house and then have the kids dress up in their costumes and hunt for them. Plastic pumpkins stuffed with the best treats make for a great alternative as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Halloween Party<\/h3>\n

Halloween parties are a great way to keep the fun at home and still have a great time. You can keep it in the family or invite neighbors over to join. Decorate the house with colored lights and creepy items, grab costumes, and bring out the games. A Halloween pi\u00f1ata packed full of candy or a few rounds of bobbing for apples always make for a great time (try bobbing for donuts<\/a> if you want to sweeten things up).<\/p>\n

Haunted House<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t want to have a party? Why not visit a haunted house instead? Depending on the age of those in your family, you can either create one at home for the younger ones or find one in your neighborhood or city. Check out these haunted houses in the Dallas area<\/a>. You can take the family out for a night full of fright.<\/p>\n

Scary Movie Festival<\/h3>\n

One of the best experiences of Halloween is that you have a long list of fun fright movies<\/a> to choose from. So, why choose only one? Grab the family and settle in for back to back classics such as Harry Potter, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and many others. Want to make the night more festive? Put on costumes and bring out some tasty Halloween snacks too!<\/p>\n

Hand Out Candy at Home<\/h3>\n

Giving out candy can be just as fun as getting it. Have the family dress up and hang out at home, waiting for trick-or-treaters to stop by. You can get to see all the great costumes and make other children smile as you hand out candy through the night. To make it more festive, try throwing in some games, a movie, or even pumpkin decorating to occupy time between visitors.<\/p>\n

Happy Halloween from TER<\/h3>\n

However you choose to celebrate the holiday with your family, remember that you can find more savings for more great times by choosing the cheapest energy rates<\/a> for your home. While it can be confusing, comparing Dallas electric rates<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be. Take advantage of power to choose<\/a> and visit our website for more information.
