Move Over Pumpkins, Carving Watermelons Are The New Fruit To Turn Into Jack-O-Lanterns For Halloween

Forget pumpkin patches.

Watermelons are the latest fruit to take over the making of jack-o-lanterns considering this fruit requires a lot less pulling and little gripping when it comes down to dissecting its guts.

People on social media are posting their practice runs at carving jack-o-lantern this year with the one popular staple food of summer!

Some are even celebrating “summerween” which is a combination of the summer season and Halloween by carving large green watermelons and turning them into spooky, illuminated jack-o-lanterns.

Unlike pumpkins which show yellow and orange when lit, some watermelon jack-o-lanterns show off a dark red hue when illuminated because of its red guts, rather than an orange inside.

Carve it like you would as if it was a regular pumpkin and this time, you can eat the insides, you just can’t bake the seeds…

So, go on; scoop out those watermelon guts and get to work!
