Ah, fall. Who doesn’t love fall? The crisp air, crunchy leaves on the ground and a holiday every month!? With school having just started for many, it can be tough to find time to really embrace the holiday spirit, but no worries. We got you covered! Here are seven different ways to get into the holiday spirit: 

1. Watching holiday movies

Growing up, my favorite part of the holidays was watching every single “Charlie Brown” movie. Watching festive movies like “Elf”, “Frosty the Snowman” and many others can be sure to put you in the holiday mood.

2. Window stickies

A subtle but very underrated part of getting in the holiday spirit.

3. Pumpkin spice lattes

We all love to hate the pumpkin spice latte, but hey, it does only come around for a few months every year. We’ve been waiting the entire year for this! We may as well make the most of it and enjoy a pumpkin spice latte while we can, before it’s too lat(t)e.

4. Seasonal Chapstick

It’s the little things, right? 

5. Sweater weather

The only time of year you can wear crazy and outrageous sweaters and get away with it.

6. Decor

Time to pull out your seasonal Yankee candles.

7. Festive activities

There’s never been a better excuse to go pumpkin or apple picking then now!
