Easter Sunday is just 5 days away, taking place on April 12th this year. Your Easter plans might have changed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spend your time with loved ones. Read on for some inventive ways to bring your Easter celebrations indoors.

Easter
1. Why not organize a virtual Easter lunch, or dinner, with your family and friends to keep the tradition going? Work out a time that works for everyone. Enjoy your homemade meals together (more on that below), or support a local restaurant and get your Easter meal delivered.

 

2. Shake things up and create Easter-inspired cocktails. Nothing says Easter like the spiced goodness of a Hot Cross Bun, so why not turn it into a cocktail? If those were never your go-to, check out these other recipes recreating Easter favorites: Creme Egg, Mini Egg Martini, Golden Goose and Easter Bunny.

3. Is it even Easter without some good ol’ egg decorating? For some decorative inspiration, use this list, or switch things by sketching and drawing out your own designs.

4. With a new, but temporary normal in place, attending Easter church service in person isn’t possible this year. Luckily, many New York City churches are offering live streaming of services for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Tune into St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Grace Church, Times Square Church, Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church or online community Vous Church for a few alternate options. Andrea Boccelli will also be live streaming an Easter concert. 

5. Bring out your inner Buddy Valastro by baking up and decorating a batch of sugar cookies. Turn it into a fun game, with a little creative competition. If you don’t have any cookie cutters at hand, take a look at these easy substitutions.

6. Get the whole family together to cook a meal. With restaurant reservations not being an option at the moment, it doesn’t mean you can have a nice dinner at home. Create a menu inspired by everyone’s favorite dish and spend quality time whipping it up in the kitchen.  Here are some tasty ideas for
Easter desserts to pair with your home-cooked meal.

 

7. Bring back childhood memories and organize an Easter egg hunt inside or in your backyard. Being indoors doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this fun tradition. If you live alone, you can still do it virtually with loved ones, and see if they can find them while you move around your home. If hiding candies and chocolates aren’t for you, have a look at these fun alternatives
 
8. A great movie day never hurt. Get into the spirit and watch Easter inspired movies. Not sure which ones would fall under that category? Check off this list for some ideas. Watch them with a free month of trials from Hulu or Amazon Video.
Here’s to keeping traditions going, and creating new memories!
