Fall is the season for cozy nights and pumpkin spice. This season is perfect for spending a calming night in bringing your favorite shows and movies. Let’s embrace sweater weather and be festive this autumn season. With fall right around the corner, here are some ways to celebrate the season with friends!

1. Paint and Sip

This event would be so fun this season! Grab some paint and canvases, roll up your sleeves, and get creative. If fall reminds you of getting artistic and creating new things, use that feeling to paint with your best friends. You could put on some festive shows, movies or music to enhance the autumn vibe. Paint and Sips are fun to do with your girls, and they allow you to explore your creative side while you get to catch up with your best friends.

2. Baking

There are so many good recipes surrounding all of the favorite fall staples like pumpkin and apple. Cozy baking is the perfect way to rewind with your girls after a long day. Spend some time copying recipes while chatting about your lives. You can always play a comfort fall show or movie in the background if you guys are socially exhausted from how much goes on in a day of our lives. 

3. Pottery

Pottery is another crafty way to get together with your friends. All you need is some air-dry clay and a vision. Make a trinket tray or a piece of motivation to get you through the year. This is a great way to disconnect from social media for a while and be truly present with your friends. 

4. Kahoot/Quiz time

This is such a fun and interactive way to spend time with friends in the comfort of your own home. Each person creates a quiz or a Kahoot about themselves and has all the others play, so you can see who-knows-who best. This is also a great way to learn more about your friends and gain some good laughs and memories along the way. 

5. PowerPoint Night

PowerPoint night is the perfect way to share your passions with the people who matter most, and it allows them to do the same. The PowerPoints can be about anything from red flags to favorite movies to childhood crushes. The possibilities are endless and allows you to become closer to your friends. 

6. Carving Pumpkins

I know this seems obvious, but it’s fun to have an organized mess with your friends. It’s the perfect way to celebrate pumpkin season. You could have a contest and see who is the best carver. Even though it’s really messy and you are probably going to get pumpkin guts everywhere, it’s all about the memories and the experience. 

7. Spa Night

This is a perfect way to kick back with the semester coming into full swing. You can make it specific to the fall season with a fall scented candle and scented face masks. This time allows you to relax and take some time to think about nothing while watching a show or movie that doesn’t require much attention. This is also a great time to watch childhood favorites to reminisce about the good old days.

These are just some ways to spend time with your best friends and celebrate the season of changing leaves and cozy nights.
