Like last year, if you celebrate Easter, you'll probably be doing so a bit differently than you're used to. While spending Easter at home might seem like a bummer, if you're willing to get creative, there are so many amazing and fun ways to spend the Easter season safely. Whether it's virtual celebrations or just putting on a pair of bunny ears and eating ALL the chocolate bunnies, we've rounded up some fun ways to make your at-home Easter more fun.
Oh, and we've linked tons of our favorite resources throughout, but if you're looking for some other festive recipes, we also have plenty of ideas for Easter dinners, homemade candy, and cupcakes for ya too!
Decorate your space.
You'll be spending more time at home this Easter season, so why not fill it with lots of festive decor? Even if you're the only one who will enjoy them, that's more than enough reason!
Plan a brunch.
Not sure what about Easter just screams brunch to us, but we think you should plan one! Whip up an egg casserole, some breakfast potatoes, and some pancakes to munch on before you rip the ear off a chocolate bunny.
Plan a video call.
Yeah, we know, duh!!! But make sure you get a virtual Easter brunch on the calendar ASAP as this day is bound to fill up with virtual activities for many people.
Bring the fun outside!
Now that your home is fully bunny-fied, make sure you add some Easter decor outside too, especially if you'll be spending some time in the yard.
Send a care package.
If you can't be with the people you love this year, consider sending them an Easter cookie care package with everything they need to make some treats! Bonus points if you bake together over Zoom.
Plan a socially distant activity.
Whether it's handing over some Easter baskets with masks on or, yes, driving by with the Easter bunny, if you're local to family or friends and the weather permits, there are still plenty of safe ways to celebrate IRL.
Stock up on candy.
Whether you have some Easter eggs to fill up or not, having festive candy around the house is never a bad idea!
Paint eggs.
Maybe in years past you've been too busy for panting eggs (or, GASP, thought you were too old!) but this is the perfect time to lean back into old traditions with your family.
Get baking.
You've probably gotten out of your cookie-related slump post-holidays and are ready to get baking again, right? Good! Because we have a ton of amazing Easter recipes for you to try.
Plan an Easter egg hunt!
Easter egg hunts are naturally socially distant as long as they're spaced out outside, so you can keep this in the fam or even invite a neighbor or two to get in on the fun, with some precautions like masks and hand sanitizer in place, of course.
Whip up a fun cocktail.
Plan a virtual toast with friends or make an adorable something to sip on while you're stuffing Easter eggs full of candy. Every holiday deserves a fun cocktail!
Make a charcuterie board.
A surefire way to make any day feel like a holiday!
Make a craft.
If you're not into egg-dyeing or you're just seeking out something a little different, there are a TON of Easter crafts you can try out while spending more time at home.
Throw on the bunny ears.
What's Easter without doing all of these activities with bunny ears on??? Seriously!! Get the whole fam into it!
