As someone who watches Hocus Pocus every single year and has hosted multiple Hocus Pocus parties and movie nights over the years, I’m here to tell you this is he best collection of Hocus Pocus party ideas you will find. This list has everything from great food ideas to the best Hocus Pocus games to the perfect decorations.
It’s everything you need to throw the perfect Hocus Pocus-themed party in one convenient location to make hosting much easier. I’ve done it before so let me help you make your Hocus Pocus party the best it can be!
I feel like Hocus Pocus is a very polarizing movie – people either love it or they hate it. I’m on the Hocus Pocus lover side of the coin.
It’s a cult classic Halloween movie for a reason – three sisters trying to eat children before the sun comes up. There’s a reason our Hocus Pocus movie bucket went viral on Tiktok last year, people are obsessed.
It’s even the focus of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party at Disney world! And since the release of Hocus Pocus 2, the original film and the sequel have been everywhere!
Hocus Pocus is one of the most popular Halloween party ideas I’ve seen out there so if that’s you and you want to host your own Hocus Pocus party, we have everything you need to make even the Sanderson sisters want to come.
Hocus Pocus Party Food
Food is a necessity whether you are throwing a Hocus Pocus watch party or a big Halloween bash!
These clever food ideas capture everything you love about Hocus Pocus in food form, plus other spooky treats. You and your guests will love biting into these themed snacks almost as much as the Sanderson sisters love children.
You could even make a Halloween snack board with just Hocus Pocus food!
Hocus Pocus Cookies
The iconic Sanderson sisters are well known for their distinctive looks. These cookies perfectly capture the individual hairstyles that make them so memorable, while still being delicious. I went with a lighter color scheme but you could go bold as well if it better matches your Halloween decor!
Hocus Pocus Brownies
You can’t have a Hocus Pocus party without including the spell book. These tasty spell book brownies are a great way to incorporate Book in food form. I was so happy to see the book back in the new Hocus Pocus movie last year!
