These favors and carnival ideas are great for a kid’s birthday party, a school carnival, a church carnival, a block party, and more. Happy party planning!
Happy Thanksgiving (or Halloween or fall)! This is my favorite fall sangria recipe! It’s a spiked cider meets sangria recipe that is great with or without alcohol. This easy fall punch recipe is a crowd-pleaser! It’s also a super easy apple cider cocktail recipe. With apple cider, whiskey, white wine, maple syrup, apples, and cinnamon, you can whip this up in less than 5 minutes. To make it for kids or as a mocktail, use only the apple cider and substitute the alcohol for lemonade. This is such a pretty and fun Thanksgiving sangria to serve in the fall! Also great for a Halloween party, tailgate, fall fest, or warmed up for a Halloween walk! Recipe below! Subscribe for more fun for kids (and adults) coming up for the holidays!
