The holiday season is full of excitement, but it can also bring stress, chaos, and clutter, both at home and in the mind.

In a world obsessed with flawless table settings and picture-perfect spreads, it’s easy to forget what hosting is really about: connection.

Honestly, Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Costumes, candy, spooky decorations and, of course, drinks that are almost too cool to sip, what is not to love? This year, I wanted to take things up a notch with some seriously fun and eerie cocktails and mocktails that will wow everyone.

Instead of following the typical selections, I have compiled a list of films that may not immediately spring to mind but nonetheless manage to evoke the spirit of autumn in their own unique ways.
