Hey Besties!
Fall is finally here, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🍁✨ The crisp air, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice everything, and of course — the chance to soak in all the little seasonal traditions that make this time of year feel so magical.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably already started dreaming up your own fall bucket list — a cozy collection of all the fall activities you don’t want to miss this year. Whether it’s sipping a homemade pumpkin spice latte, decorating your home with warm fall decor, or having a Gilmore Girls marathon, these are the little things that make the season special.
I put together this Fall To-Do List (with the cutest aesthetic design you can save + print 📌) so you can follow along and check off each activity. Let’s dive in!
Cozy At-Home Fall Activities
- Make a homemade pumpkin spice latte – Skip the Starbucks line and DIY your own PSL at home. Bonus: your kitchen will smell amazing!
- Create a fall reading list – Grab a stack of cozy books (thrillers, romance, or even Harry Potter rereads).
- Bake cookies – Because nothing screams fall like warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.
- Make a crockpot soup – The ultimate comfort food on chilly evenings.
- Drink apple cider – Hot, cold, or spiced… it’s a must.
- Have a pajama party with the girls – Movies, snacks, and fuzzy blankets required.
- Movie marathon – Gilmore Girls, Casper, and all the cozy classics.
🍁 Fall Decor + Seasonal Vibes
- Decorate with fall home decor – Pumpkins, candles, cozy throw blankets, and maybe even some fall farmhouse decor touches.
- Buy fall Bath & Body Works scents – Think apple spice, sweater weather, and pumpkin pecan waffles LOL.
- Make a fall playlist – Acoustic, cozy coffeehouse vibes + a little Taylor Swift.
- Make a fall-inspired charcuterie board – Add apple slices, brie, nuts, and pumpkin-shaped treats. ( I’m going to revisit coming up with some inspo for this and update. I linked my “Fall bucket list board to this post, I will add some there as well! )
🌙 Fun Outdoor Fall Activities
- Go to a fall festival – Rides, apple picking, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes.
- Roast s’mores by the fire – Nothing cozier than gooey marshmallows under the stars.
- Build a bonfire – Invite friends and make it a full fall night.
- Go sweater thrifting – Find the perfect oversized vintage sweater for chilly walks.
- Take fall Polaroid photos – Capture the leaves changing and all your autumn adventures.
👻 Spooky Season Must-Dos
- Make a Boo Basket – Surprise your bestie, boyfriend, or roommate with a basket full of Halloween treats and cozy goodies. (I wrote a full boo basket ideas blog post you can check out here!).
- Halloween activities – Pumpkin carving, movie nights, local Trunk or Treats (My church usually host one), or even a small festive party with themed snacks.
