How to Netflix and Chillax with the perfect #recipe for Halloween #StreamTeam
Full disclosure, my kids don’t go trick or treating. Growing up, I always went with my siblings and later with friends, until well into my late teens. Our kids however dress up at school and get some of their favourite candy the day after Halloween when I go and load up on the 50-90% off sales. We have many friends and family members who do go out and I love to see pictures of dressed up witches, goblins and superheroes on social media. The following however are some tips for those of you who do have kids that go out; especially if you happen to be the parent who stays home.
If you’re the parent who stays home for front-door duty on Halloween, it’s the best time of year to curl up and catch up on all the freaky films and scary series on Netflix. But there’s just one problem: for every jump, scare and bump in the night, there’s a leaden ding-dong at your door that reverberates through the house. After gathering yourself, you realize it’s just the doorbell, hit pause on Stranger Things, and greet the little trick or treaters that await.
To minimize the effect of your doorbell disruptions, you can consult the following “Pause and Effect” guide with suggestions for titles to watch at different points on your local trick-or-treating timeline (image below). Fast and fun shows like Friends and Fuller House are best to watch between 7 – 8 pm during peak trick or treating time, saving Stranger Things for when all your little neighbours are nestled in bed.
What’s Netflix without some great snacks right? Check out this recipe for Stranger Things French Onion Barb, perfect for a chilly Halloween night.
