Halloween is just around the corner, and everyone is busy planning for the day. Carving Jack-o’-lanterns from pumpkins is a part of the tradition; however, people are now adopting a different trend. From Mason jar Jack-o’-lanterns and toilet paper pumpkin to wood, fabric, and paper pumpkins; you can find all sorts of examples of how people are replacing the classic decoration. There are a number of Halloween pumpkin alternatives, but if you still opt for carving, the following are some fruits and vegetables that you can carve instead of pumpkins to test your carving skills.

Follow the Pineapple Jack-O’-Lantern Trend

Take out your sharpest knife and start carving a Jack-o’-lantern face into a pineapple for the All Hallows’ Eve. The rough skin of pineapple in combination with greenish leaves enhances the creepy appearance.

Go Back to Turnip-Carving

The first jack-o’-lantern was a turnip, and even today they are equally creepy. It’s certainly more challenging than carving a pumpkin, but a turnip jack-o’-lantern solves the same purpose, on a smaller scale.
