If we’re planning to give our kids a taste of traditional treat or treat this 2023, here are some cute family Halloween costume ideas.

Halloween isn’t just for kids; some parents would like to go with the family and receive candy, too! Sometimes, the subdivisions we stay in even hold Halloween parties where there are costume contests with some prizes to be won. While there’s the solo category, there’s also the family one. It all boils down to how seamlessly the costumes fall together and so, to bag those Halloween costume competitions — here’s a cheat sheet for family Halloween costume ideas for 2023!

1. Addams Family

Everyone’s favorite gothic and eccentric family is the perfect family-based Halloween costume. The best part is that some of the family members are easy to copy already. Morticia wears a black v-neck mermaid dress with trumpet sleeves. Gomez sports a pinstripe suit with a white button-up. Then, Wednesday Addams, depending on whether we’re following the Netflix series or the Cartoon Network version, wears either a black dress with white polka dots or a dark blue dress that has a white collar. Pugsley wears a black and white striped shirt with black shorts. And for 2023, this family Halloween costume idea may bag us the gold.

2. The Bat Family

If Dad and Mom are big fans of the DC comics then, the crime-fighting Bat Family might be an interesting family Halloween costume idea this 2023. Dad can dress up as Batman while Mom can dress up as Bat Girl. And since Batman adopted various Robins, the kids can dress up as Robin (Tim Drake/Damien Wayne), Nightwing (Dick Grayson) or the Red Hood (Jason Todd). Or if Dad has a nice suit, he can dress up as Alfred, too, who often served as Bruce Wayne’s father figure!

3. The Flinstones

Compared to the first two, The Flinstones is one of the more wholesome family Halloween costume ideas for 2023. Fred Flinstone has an orange one-piece with a blue necktie, and Wilma has a white dress. Then, Pebbles is in a green top with blue shorts. That works if you’re a family with a baby girl. But if we have a baby boy in the family, there’s Barney, Betty, and Bam-Bam.

4. Madrigal Family from Encanto

The family-oriented Disney movie, Encanto, has a lot of characters for all the family members to copy. Our daughters can choose to look like Mirabel, Isabella, Dolores, or Luisa while our sons can look like Camillo or Antonio. Mom and Dad can choose between Julieta, Bruno, Pepa, and Felix. And for extra authenticity, the family can go around asking for candy in Spanish.

5. Spy x Family

Although it’s an anime that became more popular this 2023, Loid Forger, Yor Briar, and Anya are fan favorites among anime-loving families for Halloween costume ideas or cosplay. Loid, as a super spy, has various looks but his trademark is an olive green suit with a red tie. Yor Briar, if her black dress is a little uncomfortable to wear, she also has a red sweater dress that she pairs with black leggings. Anya is the only one who has a particular outfit that is easy to find in most costume shops.

6. Pokémon (Ash, Misty, and Pikachu)

Pokémon is a favorite among the kids and a lot of us grew up with the series. Their costumes are also pretty comfortable! Dad can wear jeans, a black shirt, rubber shoes, and a blue and white jacket while topping it off with the trademark red cap which most character shops sell for Ash’s look. Mom just needs green shorts, a yellow sleeveless crop top, red suspenders, and rubber shoes for Misty. And for the baby, they can wear a Pikachu onesie! Some celebrities have even sported the look.

7. The Maximoff Family: Vision, Pietro, Wanda, Billy, and Tommy

Because Elizabeth Olsen played Marvel’s Wanda Maximoff spectacularly, Scarlet Witch costumes are easy to find on Shoppee or Lazada along with Vision’s and Quicksilver’s. But WandaVision also brought to life Wanda’s kids: Tommy (superhero Speed) and Billy (superhero Wiccan). Although those who are hardcore fans of the comics know the truth about Tommy and Billy, it’s a unique family Halloween costume idea since most people go for villains like Joker and Harlequin.

For 2023, Halloween is the time when families can bust out their fun costume ideas!

Because of the pandemic, many of the pandemic babies or kids couldn’t enjoy a traditional trick or treat. Some of the subdivisions’ homeowner associations will even plan grand Halloween costume parties for everyone to meet. There are games, candy, and most importantly, costume contests for those who are the best dressed. Get ready Halloween 2023, it’s the year that families are going to bust out their most fun costume ideas to celebrate the kid-oriented holiday the way it should be!
