For those of you freaking out about having to cancel your annual Easter party, don't fret - Easter is still on! Many people look forward to holding competitive Easter egg hunts, making elaborate brunches, and seeing family at church. Even though you can't go out to your favorite Easter party this year, you can still celebrate at home! Here's how:

Church Services

Many people attend mass on Easter Sunday, but because we can't congregate in large gatherings, you'll have to get creative:

Many churches are holding services on Facebook, so go on your local church's website to see what they're offering.
Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church will stream services Saturday night and Sunday morning on the website, Facebook and other streaming services. Oh, and did we mention Kanye West, Tyler Perry, and Mariah Carey will be performing?
Opera singer Andrea Bocelli will perform at the closed-off Duomo cathedral in Milan to bring people together on Easter, at a social distance of course. This will be streamed on Youtube.
Live from Vatican City, Pope Francis will also hold Easter mass via Youtube.

Easter Baskets

It's not that easy to go shopping right now for Easter basket stuffers. If you usually like to spend more on gifts you can create coupons for your loved ones of what they'll get at a later time. For example, a coupon for a manicure, a new toy, dinner at their favorite restaurant. And of course you can still get chocolate bunnies.

Brunch and Dinner

The best part at an Easter party is the brunch spread. Crispy bacon, fluffy biscuits, and bright eggs fill the beautifully decorated table in the morning. And for dinner, the feast continues with roasted ham or lamb, glazed carrots, and thick meat pies. However, this year you might not be able to get all of the ingredients or eat your favorite dishes.

If you cannot cook all of your favorites, call your local butcher, restaurant, and bakery. Ask if they have any prepared hams, desserts, and ready made Easter dishes.
Most grocery stores should still have a supply of eggs if you go early. Egg dishes are easy and essential on Easter. So if all else fails, at least you have hard boiled eggs.
Now is the time to test out new recipes you've been dying to try. Take the time to finally make that carrot cake or veggie quiche you saw on a blog.
Share recipes with family and friends so you can all cook and enjoy the same foods. You can also cook enough food to drop off at people's door.

Egg Hunt

Do your kids get super competitive during your annual Easter egg hunt? Even though they can't play with all of their cousins, they can still collect eggs!

Have an egg hunt in your house! If you need to entertain young kids this Sunday (and every day in quarantine), hide homemade Easter eggs in different rooms of the house or yard.
Coordinate with family and friends a virtual egg hunt! Each house should have the same amount of eggs and designated rooms to hide them in; then over FaceTime or Zoom kids can compete and whichever family finds the most gets a prize!
Window Easter egg hunt - it's kind of like a game of 'I Spy'. Plan with your neighbors and nearby family/friends to draw Easter eggs and put them in the front windows of your home. Then drive around with your kids and see who can spot the most eggs!

If You're Sheltering Alone

Some people cannot be with their families on Easter due to social distancing. To feel like you're with family, FaceTime them during your meal and to watch your little cousins or grandkids do their egg hunt. Even decorating your space with bright streamers or pictures can set the holiday mood.
