\u2018D\u00eda de los Muertos\u2019, or Day of the Dead is celebrated in towns and cities throughout Mexico and is a happy holiday focused on keeping the memories of lost loved ones alive and celebrating the continuation of life beyond the realms of this world. The holiday sees locals\u00a0<\/span>dress up in colourful costumes and the impressive sugar skull make-up creations are mesmerising as parades with impressive skull art and characters on floats accompany the crowds of people singing and dancing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re bored to death of traditional Halloween events, pay homage to the heart warming traditions of Mexico instead with your own version of the Day of the Dead holiday. Read on for our go<\/span>–<\/span>to list to create your own FIESTA of spooky fun this <\/span>Autumn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Light it up!\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

To set the ambiance, every Dia de los Muertos party needs candles to inject <\/span>twilight<\/span> bursts of<\/span> luminosity<\/span> around the venue. <\/span>To ensure you stick with the colourful theme,<\/span> check out these \u2018Day of the Dead\u2019 candles from Rancho La Puerta\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>Wellness Spa in Mexico<\/span> which are individually hand painted so that no two candles are the same!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ok so this isn\u2019t strictly Day of the Dead in theme<\/span> but this flaming fuchsia cactus from Audenza <\/a><\/span><\/span>is so on POINT with its Mexican vibes.<\/span>. The colour pops against any wall and also provides that banging Insta photo background we all need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditionally during the day of the dead festivities people create an altar containing the favourite foods and drinks of their loved ones who have passed to the other side.<\/span> We love this skeleton serving board from \u2018I Saw It First\u2019<\/a><\/span> as a prop to showcase your favourite foods, simply add croquettes to the collar bones, Iberian ham to the hips and tacos to the torso! <\/span>If you need inspo for your taco fillings, check out our previous blog here<\/a><\/span>.

If you\u2019re like us, every holiday comes hand in hand with a cocktail and for this holiday we <\/span>recommend the awakening \u2018Red Punch\u2019 by Ciroc. Simply fill a highball glass with ice, add 50ml of C\u00eeroc Red Berry<\/a><\/span>, 75ml cranberry juice and 75ml tonic water and gently stir to combine. As you stir, BEWARE of the shocking scarlett hue that will appear as the bloody red liquid rises to the surface!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
