Easy Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Trunk or Treat Décor
How to transform your vehicle into a pumpkin patch for a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Trunk or Treat.
We created this cute, not scary, Charlie Brown Trunk or Treat decor for our church event. I also used the Charlie Brown backdrop and stand-up for our Peanuts, Great Pumpkin Halloween party.
A fun idea for a Trunk or Treat theme is Charlie Brown and Peanuts® Great Pumpkin. Watching the movie is a favorite Halloween tradition at our house. We love the Peanuts Gang so much; it just makes sense to do our Trunk or Treat with them.

I tend to shy away from ghoulish Halloween décor, preferring the softer side of the holiday. Charlie Brown is a good family-friendly option that won’t scare the little ones at Halloween.
The scariest thing you’ll find in our décor is Lucy with her green monster face mask, unless you find sheet ghosts frightening.
When I was a child going trick-or-treating, everyone was a ghost. My brothers and I were usually Casper the Friendly Ghost, wearing sheets over our heads with eyes cut out, the classic Halloween costume.
Shopping for these Trunk or Treat Supplies
I am providing my affiliate links to make the supplies shopping easier for you.
Oriental Trading carries a large variety of Trunk or Treat Kits. They do still carry this Peanuts Great Pumpkin Cardboard Stand-Up, as of this writing. If you store it properly, you can use it again or sell it the next year. I also got my backdrop from Oriental Trading.
Shop your local Ace Hardware Garden Center for a great selection of fall flowers and even bales of hay or straw. We are lucky to have two large Ace Hardware stores near us that carry a great selection of seasonal plants and flowers in their garden center.
Home Depot also has a nice large garden center. They carry seasonal plants and flowers as well as bales of hay or straw. Home Depot also carries pumpkins during the Fall. You will want a pumpkin or two for your Charlie Brown Trunk or Treat Decor.

Great Pumpkin Cardboard Stand Up
This Great Pumpkin, Pumpkin patch cardboard stand-up is really big and makes the perfect photo spot. I used it first for our Charlie Brown Halloween Party and then again for our Charlie Brown Trunk or Treat here.
Pumpkins
A great way to say welcome, Great Pumpkin, and add character to your theme is to add a few live pumpkins.
A few Pumpkins will add a great Halloween spirit the entire family will enjoy. Can we say Kodak moment right here! The best part is that you can use those pumpkins in your porch décor at home all the way through Thanksgiving.
Do you have a nice collection of fake pumpkins? Use those!
Thankfully, the kids at your event won’t go home empty-handed like Linus and Sally.

We used our Great Pumpkin photo backdrop for our Peanut’s Halloween party recently. Our little Raggedy Ann and Andy are just adorable, aren’t they!

Hay Bales and Fall Flowers
All of the flowers, plants, hay bales, and pumpkins are from our Fall front porch and yard décor. Double bang for our buck. We only need them for a few hours on Halloween night, and then the front porch display was back until after Thanksgiving.
It was a great idea to do a creative trunk-or-treat scene, getting double duty for our live Fall outdoor decorations.
We are getting double bang for our buck with the Peanuts® Great Pumpkin Cardboard Stand Up and Peanuts® Halloween Backdrop Banner from our party!

Peanut’s Halloween Backdrop
The backdrop was also used twice. Once behind the food table for our Peanut’s Halloween party and then again as our Halloween Trunk cover.

My car is a small Prius. I opened the car trunk and used tape to secure the backdrop into place. The backdrop really set the perfect theme with our beloved Peanuts characters.
