Y’all, Halloween is less than two weeks away, and I AM SO EXCITED. Have I told you that Halloween is my favorite holiday? Well, besides Christmas, of course. 😉 But really, there is just something about all of the spooky fun surrounding Halloween that I just can’t get enough of. One of my favorite dates that my husband and I ever went on was to a haunted house when we were still in college. The best moment of the night (and one that I will NEVER forget) happened when my husband, who is not afraid of anything, darn near jumped out of his skin and screamed like a four year old when one of the “actors” popped out of the wall beside him. I’m laughing out loud just thinking back on that moment! Just one more reason why I love Halloween so much.

Now that we are married and have two little ones, there are even more things I love about Halloween. Seeing all the kids dressed up in their cute costumes, going trick-or-treating, and enjoying lots of the fun, and #SpookySnacks are at the top of my list. This year, I became inspired to create a fun drink after receiving a Halloween package from my mom. Along with all of the goodies she sent, there was a packet of Jack O’Lantern beverage glass clings. I decided they would be fun to use in conjunction with Fanta for a special Halloween version of a float! These would be so fun to drink with dinner before heading out to do some trick-or-treating, or for serving along with other yummy snacks at a Halloween party!

 

To Make Your own Fanta Jack O’Lantern Floats:

  • First you’ll need to gather up a few easy ingredients. I found everything I needed at our local Walmart store, including vanilla ice cream, 2 liters of Fanta Orange soda, and also some 12 oz. bottles of Dasani water to keep us hydrated on our upcoming visit to the pumpkin patch. These smaller bottles of Dasani would also be great for serving at a Halloween party or carrying along with you while out trick-or-treating!

  • Once you have everything ready, start by decorating your plastic cups. If you don’t have any Jack O’Lantern beverage clings, not to worry! All you need is a permanent marker and you can draw on your own design. This would be a fun activity to let your little ones get involved and unleash their creativity!

  • Once your spooktacular cups are ready, pour a small amount of Fanta into the bottom of each cup.

  • Next add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Mmm…. lookin’ good!

  • Pour some more Fanta over the ice cream, and watch as some bubbly magic starts happening.

  • Insert a straw and start slurping that creamy, orangey goodness! It’s a handheld, drinkable, Jack O’Lantern that tastes just like a creamsicle!

    Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress
    or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed
    .. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Love this fun drink! Have you tried making a large batch in a punch bowl? Would love to make a bigger batch for an upcoming Halloween party. Thank you!

      Hi Noel! I have not tried making it as a large batch before, only in individual cups. I’m not positive how it would turn out with the ice cream involved, but I know it would still taste good. Let me know if you give it a try!
