How to Decorate for a Halloween Fiesta
If you’ve got it, haunt it! When it comes to setting the table for a Halloween Fiesta, think classic hues of black, white, and orange for a fa-boo-lous look.

With a setup this wickedly stylish, your guests will feel like they’ve stepped into a true haunted house!
What to Serve for Drinks for a Halloween Fiesta
Drink in Peace. To kick off our hauntingly good Halloween Fiesta, pop open a bottle of Nicolas Feuillatte champagne. Dress the bottle with a witch’s hat wine topper to give your bubbly a wickedly fun twist. As you pour the golden elixir into skeleton hand champagne flutes, the eerie decor and chillingly sophisticated ambiance will bewitch your guests. With every sip, they’ll feel like they’ve been invited to a glamorous ghostly gathering. Here’s to a hauntingly beautiful Halloween night!
Vampire’s Vintage. After a bubbly start, it’s time to transition to a ‘grave’-ly good red with a touch of Halloween flair! Pour a rich, Red Burgundy into skeleton wine glasses to give your Halloween gathering a spine-tingling twist. This elegant wine, served in its eerie glassware, offers a perfect contrast to the earlier champagne, providing a depth of flavor that complements your spooky spread. The skeleton glasses add a playful yet sophisticated touch, making each sip a ghostly delight. With this transition from bubbly to bold, your guests will be enchanted by the seamless blend of festive fun and refined taste throughout the evening.
What to Serve for Food for a Halloween Fiesta
‘Nacho’-average Halloween fiesta. Create a spook-tacular spread where guests can build their own nacho masterpieces. Start with a crisp base of tortilla chips and layer on a bubbling cauldron of melted cheese. Add a dollop of creamy guacamole, a swirl of tangy sour cream, and a sprinkle of spicy jalapeños for a frightful kick. Top it off with zesty salsa, fresh olives, and onions. Don’t forget to squeeze fresh lime over the top for a zesty finish that will leave everyone howling for more. This DIY nacho bar will be the highlight of your Halloween gathering, perfect for both the little goblins and grown-up ghouls alike!
‘Mummy’-fied quesadillas are sure to be a scream! Create these spooky snacks by starting with a crispy cheese filled tortilla. Cut the top tortilla into strips to resemble mummy bandages. Arrange the strips artfully over the filling to give your quesadilla an eerie, wrapped-up look. Add a pair of googly eyes with dollops of sour cream and sliced olives to give your mummies a playful, yet slightly spooky, appearance. These fun and frightful quesadillas will be the star of your Halloween spread, bringing a mix of tasty treats and festive flair to your ghoulish Halloween fiesta!
Taco ‘Bout a Monster Feast. Unleash your appetite with some ‘monstrously’ delicious tacos that are sure to scare up a good time at your Halloween fiesta! Create your own monstrous creations with a taco bar featuring savory turkey, creamy sour cream, and gooey cheese. Add a touch of spookiness with guacamole and use olives as eerie eyes, while a wedge of lime can serve as a spooky mouth. These make-your-own monster tacos are a fun and interactive way to enjoy your Halloween feast, allowing guests to craft their own frightfully tasty creations. With each bite, they’ll be delighted by the ghoulishly good flavors and festive presentation!
Make your taste buds scream with delight! Serve up pumpkin ice cream paired with chocolate sandwich cookies for a chillingly delicious dessert.
