How to Make a Jack-O-Lantern Orange Soda Float (Kid-Friendly Halloween Treat)

Halloween treats don’t have to be complicated. 👻 This Jack-O-Lantern orange soda float is a simple, spooky-fun drink that kids (and adults) will love. We made these on a whim, and they were such a hit that I knew I had to share!

Ingredients:

  • Orange soda (any brand you like — we used Fanta)
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Clear plastic cups + black Sharpie (to draw jack-o-lantern faces)

Directions:

  1. Draw jack-o-lantern faces on the outside of clear cups.
  2. Add a scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream to each cup.
  3. Pour orange soda over the top.
  4. Add whipped cream if you want to get extra festive!
  5. Serve with a straw or spoon and enjoy!

This is such an easy way to make Halloween feel special without a lot of effort. My kids were so excited to drink their “jack-o-lanterns,” and I think this might become a yearly tradition for us.
