Trunk or Treat Decorating Ideas

Trunk or Treating is new to Halloween traditions, but it’s becoming more and more well-known as the years pass. Trunk or Treat events have a handful of benefits that include a safer environment, less walking, extra candy and so much more!

Here at Spirit, we love EVERYTHING Halloween, so we’re going to give you some really cool trunk or treat decorating ideas that will make trunk or treating 2019 the best year yet!

Friendly Trunk or Treat Décor

Trunk or treat events are all about inviting others to celebrate Halloween with you, so decorating your trunk in a friendly way is the most popular option. Decorating with friendly pumpkins is one of our favorite themes for trunk or treat activities. Pumpkins and other fall decorations are very inviting, making it easy for trunk-or-treaters to connect with you. If you want to spook it up just a little bit, you can always mix in some jack-o-lanterns, too! You can even add some hay and turn your theme into a hayride!
