Easter is a time of togetherness, joining friends, family, and loved ones to celebrate the occasion. Although it is not a public holiday in Malaysia, there are still some ways to make the day unique, whether you’re living in the country or simply visiting over your own Easter holidays.
Here are seven unique Easter activities for an unforgettable day.
1. Easter Beverage Hunt
Everyone loves a good Easter egg hunt, but why not switch it up with a beverage hunt? This activity is perfect for a group of adult friends who are getting together for the day. The activity involves hiding bottles or cans of drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), juice boxes, or even flavored milk around the home or garden and having your guests look for them.
You can increase the fun by hiding clues around the property that provide hints about the drinks’ locations. It’s the perfect Easter day activity to deal with the hot Malaysian climate since you’re rewarded with a refreshing drink at the end.
2. Have An Easter-Themed Casino Night
You can bring some glitz, glamor, and sophistication to your Easter celebrations by organizing a casino-themed night. You can set up classic casino games like poker or blackjack and use Easter-themed decorations around the room.
Solo visitors to the country can create their own at-home casino experience by accessing the best gambling sites in Malaysia. Put on your most comfortable pajamas, heat up some hot cross buns, and enjoy quality casino games online from the comfort of your home or holiday accommodation.
3. Easter Bingo
Bingo is beloved by most, and it is easy to customize this classic game for Easter. You can create bingo cards using Easter-related words or images like bunnies, eggs, chicks, chocolate, and flowers. You can also incorporate pictures of local elements like mango, rambutan, hibiscus flowers, and lanterns.
Bingo is a fun game that can be enjoyed by the family or a group of friends, and the winner of the game can win a giant Easter egg or an Easter hamper filled with sweet treats.
4. Carrot Cocktails
Easter, bunnies, and carrots go together, so why not create some cocktails containing fresh carrot juice? Carrots are packed with nutrients, and the juice pairs surprisingly well with several spirits.
You can create carrot mimosas (mixing sparkling wine with carrot juice) if you’re having people over for brunch or create a carrot and ginger mojito for afternoon celebrations.
You can also create non-alcoholic mocktails, combining carrot juice, lime juice, and pineapple juice. Decorate the glass with some pineapple and enjoy a refreshing Easter-themed drink.
5. Easter Recipe Challenge
A great way to celebrate Easter is to invite friends over for an outdoor recipe challenge. Ask your guests to bring along their favorite homemade dishes, along with enough copies of the recipe for all the other guests to take home.
Set up tasting stations around the garden where everyone can taste the dishes, and also set up a voting booth where guests can vote for their favorite and runner-up dishes in secret.
You can decide to keep it Easter-food themed or invite dishes from different cuisines. It is the perfect way to bring together friends from various nationalities or backgrounds, and each guest gets to take home a small collection of recipe cards to remember the event by.
6. Glow-In-The-Dark Egg Hunt
Create a next-level Easter egg hunt by getting glow-in-the-dark plastic eggs or placing glowsticks inside clear plastic eggs and having the hunt at night. You can host the egg hunt at a local park, in your garden, or even at the beach (as long as you ensure all the eggs are collected) at night.
Your friends will enjoy hunting for the glowing eggs in the foliage and in between rocks. Prepare a reward for the person who collects the most eggs, like a homemade trophy or box of Easter eggs.
7. Make Hot Cross Buns From Scratch
Although you can find hot cross buns in several bakeries in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur, making them at home can be a fun and delicious challenge. Bake them alone, with friends, or get the kids involved.
You can give the buns a Malaysian twist by adding coconut milk or pandan essence to the recipe.
Wrapping Up
Easter doesn’t have to be traditional. You can give your holiday a unique spin to make it unforgettable, like hunting for cool drinks, playing bingo, or sampling food from around the world. Try to embrace local flavors in your celebrations to really make this Easter one to remember.
