But for now, let’s get cozy!
Personally, I am a homebody. Particularly at night, if you give me the choice of staying in or going out, nine times out of ten I will want to stay in. I mean, why go out when you can snuggle up with your dogs and loved ones, eat comforting food, and watch your favorite show?
It is important to make time for self-care and doing the things that bring you joy, especially during these busy months. After a long day of work or school, perhaps all you want to do is cozy up at home for the rest of the night. And I feel you!
Even if you are a party animal or social butterfly, a relaxing night in to reset is always a good idea. Alone or with loved ones, this list will provide you with everything you need for the perfect, cozy fall night.

3. Comforting Meal
Fall is home to countless comforting meals. From pastas to soups, find a recipe that makes you feel warm inside! And preferably put it in a bowl – something about curling up on the couch with your bowl of food makes the meal that much cozier 🙂
4. Favorite Activity
Pick your favorite activity that will help you to reset and enjoy the season. Personally, I love snuggling up to my favorite show/movie. But if TV isn’t your thing, here’s an extended list of things you may want to do:
- Create a fall bucket list (Check out this post for some inspo: 30 Fun and Unique Fall Bucket List Ideas to Romanticize This Season!)
- Read your favorite book
- Write/doodle in your journal
- Create a (fall-inspired) Pinterest board
- Paint your nails
- Binge your favorite show/movies
5. Fall Scent
Scents can trigger nostalgia, create memories, and alter the entire vibe of an occasion. That being said, pick your favorite cozy, fall scent for your space. From spiced cinnamons to warm vanillas, there are so many to choose from. Whether it’s a candle, wallflower, or diffuser, you’ll want your home smelling festive. Trust me, this can truly put you in the coziest fall mood and elevate your night in!
Try these:
6. Baked Goods
Another way to make your home smell warm and fuzzy is baked goods! Pick your favorite fall dessert and bake while you’re watching your favorite show or listening to music. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Pillsbury ready-to-bake sugar cookies or if you make an apple pie from scratch. You can do no wrong! Bake something you’ll enjoy that’ll make the whole space smell sweet like fall.
7. Fall Body/Bath Products
To decompress after a long day, add some fall-scented body and bath products to your night routine. From body scrubs to moisturizers, slather on your favorite scents to smell like fall. This will certainly get you in the fall spirit and make your night in that much cozier.
- Bath & Body Works Champagne Apple & Honey Body Lotion
- Bath & Body Works Vetiver Vanilla Salt Body Scrub
- Lush Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb
8. Festive Beverage
If you’re a bev girlie, make (or buy) your favorite drink to supplement your meal and snacks. Whether it’s a cup of cocoa, a cocktail, or pumpkin spice latte, there is no wrong choice!
9. Face Mask
Add a (fall-themed) face mask into your nighttime routine! Put a mask on to soothe your skin and mind while you watch your favorite show or scroll through Pinterest. There are so many seasonal ones you can get from places like Amazon and Target.
10. Fairy Lights/Decor
If you’re feeling a little extra, get some twinkle fairy lights to put up. These will truly set the mood and make your fall night in feel extra special and cozy. Additionally, you can get other decor such as garland, pillows, and dishware to really get festive.
Hopefully you now have an idea of what to do to create the coziest fall night. Take the time to reset with your favorite activities, cozy up in your comfiest attire, and embrace the fall season!
