Can you believe that Halloween is just around the corner?! I sure can’t! It’s time to get serious about picking out costumes for you and your little ones.

If you haven’t picked them out yet, I found 43 cute family Halloween costume ideas that I LOVED! From Disney and movie characters to superheroes, sports, and silly themes, there’s plenty of inspiration for getting the whole family in on the fun.

43 Family Halloween Costume Ideas

Are you a Disney family? Sports lovers? Superhero fanatics? Or are you looking for something silly to dress up as, like s’mores? There are so many fun ideas below, no matter what look you’re going for:

1. Peter Pan and Friends!

Well, isn’t this the most magical idea?! We love how a big family got involved in this Halloween costume dress-up. It really brings the whole thing to life!

2. 101 Dalmatians

This mama nailed Cruella and made the look so cute! “Jasper” and her Dalmatian pups are pretty adorable, too. This could also be a great costume for a big family with lots of little “pups.”

3. The Greatest Showman

As moms, we often feel like we are organizing a circus. This “The Greatest Showman” costume is a great idea to bring your little circus together for some Halloween fun!

4. Mary Poppins

I mean, how adorable is this?! We’re obsessed with these Mary Poppins Halloween-themed costumes!

5. Toy Story

To infinity and beyond! You can wrangle up all the candy in the neighborhood dressed as Woody, Jessie, and Buzz this Halloween. You for sure have a friend in these costumes.

6. The Sandlot

Such a great movie and such great Halloween costumes! Even your pup can join in the fun!

7. Wizard of Oz

A true classic. “The Wizard of Oz” has a perfect costume for everyone in the family!

8. Snow White

This would be such a great Halloween costume idea for parents of multiples! Your little ones could dress up as all the dwarves—too cute!

9. Up

Well, this mama is a genius for dressing up as Kevin, the Snipe bird. It’ll be pretty easy for Dad to pull together his Carl Fredricksen costume with a suit, cane, bowtie, and glasses. And we can’t get over the little Boy Scout Russell with all the patches!

10. Wreck-It Ralph

Fix it, Felix is an excellent costume for a little boy, and Vanellope is another genius idea for your little sweetie. Dad can dress up as Ralph to match, and your family will be wreckin’ it this Halloween with these costumes!

11. The Flintstones

This family killed it with their Flintstones costumes. All you need is another family to bring Barney, Betty, and Bamm-Bamm!

12. Grease

Grease lightning! I always wanted to be Sandra Dee, and this is the perfect idea for a family with a dad who’s reluctant to dress up. He probably has everything he needs in his closet for this look. Just slick back the hair, and he’s ready to go!

13. Winnie the Pooh and Friends

Well, can you say ADORABLE! This Pooh Bear and Friends costume is genius for all the pregnant mamas out there! If you’re expecting, we also have more Halloween costume ideas for pregnant moms.

14. Superheroes

Your family is already pretty super. Why not dress up as the superheroes you are?! Whether you rep Marvel or DC (or both), this will be a great look!

15. Harry Potter

As Harry Potter fans, we thought this was great! Your kiddos will love dressing up as wizards and casting spells all night.

16. Super Mario

Super Mario Bros. is another fun idea. We thought this Princess Peach was too precious! And if you have two boys, they’d make a perfect pair of Mario and Luigi.

17. Willy Wonka

NPH and his partner, David Burtka, always come up with the best Halloween costume ideas for themselves and their kids! Be sure to check them out in years past. (They’ve done Hollywood stars, “The Haunted Mansion,” and more!)

18. S’Mores

Get extra creative and dress up as the sweet treat you enjoy! We love how this family even turned their wagon into a fire pit to pull together this s’mores look. So clever!

19. Star Wars

Star Wars is always a favorite. This family nailed the whole look. You can dress up as the OG characters or incorporate characters like Rey and Kylo Ren from the newer films!

20. Wayne’s World

Wayne’s World! Party Time! Excellent! These are some pretty epic Halloween looks.

21. Frozen

“Frozen” continues to be a favorite with kids, and there are plenty of characters for the whole family to choose from.

22. Tarzan

Jane, Tarzan, Jane’s father, and little monkeys! Hopefully, Halloween isn’t too cold outside when you wear these costumes, especially for Dad. 😉

23. Moana

I LOVE this idea. Mom will look beautiful as Te Fiti, and your kids can dress up as Moana, Pua, and/or Hei Hei. And Dad can dress up as Maui to match!

24. Bluey

If your kiddos love “Bluey,” dressing up as Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli makes a fun family theme. Looking for more ideas just for the kids? Check out these Halloween costumes for babies, toddlers, and kids.

25. Where the Wild Things Are

“Oh, please don’t go — we’ll eat you up — we love you so!” We think this is a great Halloween costume idea if you have a little wild one. You can even reuse this theme for their first birthday!

26. Aladdin

It’s a whole new world experiencing Halloween as this royal crew. Aladdin is a kid favorite. We’re sure you’ll get lots of compliments with this colorful theme!

27. Scooby-Doo

The Mystery Machine crew! I think they’ll score lots of Scooby snacks this Halloween. If you have five people, you can dress up as the whole gang (and maybe add Scrappy-Doo if you have a little one)!

28. Baby Shark Family

I’m pretty sure that every baby loves the song “Baby Shark.” They have great Halloween costumes so that you can all dress up as the Baby Shark family.

29. Emojis

This is genius and super creative! Dress up as your favorite emoji this Halloween. Whether you go for a cute or more silly emoji, there are tons of options here.

30. Top Gun

The Goose to your Maverick. This is a pretty easy costume to find since we see this theme readily available. And it’s so cute with your whole fleet dressed up the same way.

31. Trolls

Such a great Halloween idea! Don’t just dress up as the trolls, but the Bergens, too! King Gristle Jr. and Queen Bridget are clever and creative costumes.

32. The Lion King

The circle of life! If you have a new baby, they could be your baby Simba! We thought this was too cute because even the pup was dressed up as Pumba. If you’re celebrating with a little one, we have even more baby’s first Halloween costume ideas to inspire you.

33. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Want to bring on the spooky? “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a perfect theme for this Halloween. Your dog could even be Zero!

34. The Little Mermaid

Is your child loving the mermaid theme right now? Have the family dress up as characters from “The Little Mermaid,” including Ariel! You could even have Sebastian and Flounder as costumes.

35. School Supplies

Get really creative with your own DIY family Halloween costumes. This look from Studio DIY was super clever! Other great additions would be a shiny red apple and a ruler.

36. Disney Treats

If you and your family are major Disney World or Disneyland fans, dress up as the Disney treats! Too sweet for your sweet family.

37. Football Family

Football season is back! Have your family dress up as your favorite team. If you are a major football fan, you may already have the gear, so this could be an easy costume to pull together.

38. The Nutcracker

If you already have a little ballerina in the family, consider having everyone dress up as characters from “The Nutcracker.” This is so adorable and also perfect for starting the holiday season.

39. Alice in Wonderland

There are so many great characters in “Alice in Wonderland.” Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and more!

40. Play-Doh

Here’s another great and easy DIY Halloween costume your family can dress up as. We’re sure your toddler would love this theme. 🙂

41. Encanto

“Encanto” gives families plenty of Madrigal characters to choose from. The adorable Mirabel, strong Luisa, glamorous Isabela, and the mysterious Bruno would all make great costumes.

42. The Addams Family

Creepy and kooky! This family costume is perfect if you want a spooky look for Halloween. Mom and Dad can go as Morticia and Gomez, and your little ones can be Wednesday and Pugsley. If you have more family members, you can add Uncle Fester, Lurch, and Cousin Itt, too!

43. Barbie

The adult man wears a black outfit and white cowboy hat. Celebrating in family Halloween costumes, the girl wears a pink checkered dress, and the boy sports a striped shirt.
