Things To Do In Fall Alone:
1. Decorate your home
Give your home a fall makeover! I love decorating my home with spooky decor in October, and then I like to transition to more of a cozy look for November.
I love these bat decorations! They are super cute and inexpensive. I use them every year!
These candles will make your home feel extra cozy in the fall!
2. Bake a pie
Pumpkin pie, apple pie, sweet potato pie…who doesn’t enjoy a warm pie straight from the oven? Fall is the perfect time to practice your pie-baking skills.
3. Buy a fall drink from your favorite coffee shop
I love going to coffee shops in the fall and trying different pumpkin-flavored coffees and teas. It’s a fun little tradition you can do alone.
4. Make a soup
I make homemade chicken noodle soup, pretty much, every week in the fall. There is something about eating soup on a cold day that feels cozy and comforting.
5. Binge-watch a cozy show
There’s nothing cozier than watching your favorite show in the comfort of your home on a cozy fall night.
Cozy shows to watch during fall:
- Gilmore Girls
- Sabrina The Teenage Witch
- Charmed
- Gossip Girl
- Pretty Little Liars
- One Tree Hill
- Good Witch
- The Vampire Diaries
Things To Do In Fall With Kids:
6. Visit a pumpkin patch
Pack the kids up and visit your local pumpkin patch. There’s always fun to be had at a pumpkin patch. From hayrides to corn mazes, it will be fun for the whole family!
7. Decorate or carve pumpkins
Carve or decorate pumpkins with your little ones for a little fall fun at home.
My kids love using stickers to decorate their pumpkins!
You could even host a pumpkin carving party at your home and start a new fall tradition with your kids!
I found this pumpkin carving kit on Amazon with a 4.7-star rating.
8. Watch kid-friendly Halloween movies

9. Buy or DIY Halloween costumes
Dressing up has to be one of the most fun things to do with kids (besides trick or treating, of course, ha). Take the kids to pick out a Halloween costume, or get creative and DIY a costume!
10. Make s’mores
All you need are graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to create this cozy and delicious treat!
I’ve been eyeing this indoor s’mores maker! I think it would be fun to do with kids.
11. Roast pumpkin seeds
Don’t throw away the seeds when you carve your pumpkins! You can clean the pumpkin seeds, add a seasoning of your choice (I add sea salt and toss them in olive oil), and roast them in the oven. I did this with my kids last year, and they loved them.
Things To Do In Fall With Friends:
12. Visit a haunted house or corn maze
If you want a fun fall activity to do with friends, this is it! Look for haunted houses and corn mazes near you for a scary, fun time with friends!

Make a boo basket for a friend filled with cozy treats like fall-themed snacks and drinks, socks, a pumpkin-scented candle, and a Halloween-themed coffee mug or book!
16. Visit an apple orchard
Enjoy a day outdoors with friends! Pick apples, try fresh apple cider, apple donuts, and more! Oh, and don’t forget to take cute pics!
