There’s one movie we kick off Halloween with every single year: It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Honestly, Charlie Brown never gets old. There’s a Peanuts special for just about every season, and they’re the perfect length for both little and big attention spans. Plus, there’s just something about Charlie Brown that brings out all the nostalgia. It takes you right back to childhood and somehow makes a simple movie night feel a little more special. So naturally, we needed a drink to go along with it!

This Drunk Pumpkin is the perfect addition to a Charlie Brown movie night. It’s festive, cozy, and just a little boozy. But the best part is that it can easily be made without the alcohol, so the kiddos can sip along too!
