Inviting CacklePatch to Your Easter Tradition
Not everyone knows this, but CacklePatch the Halloween Raccoon and the Easter Bunny are actually quite close. And when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.
Sure, their preferences may differ slightly—one is devoted to eggs, the other’s more of a pumpkin enthusiast. Still, both delight in spreading mysterious joy. Both are known for distributing small, colorful surprises that make people smile. They both have a flair for vanishing at whim and excellent taste in fashionable waistcoats.
And let’s not forget the strongest bond of all. An epic, unapologetic devotion to candy. At their very core, both Easter and Halloween are simply excellent excuses to eat your weight in sugar. As we all know, as far as CacklePatch is concerned, sugar is the best of all the food groups and a venerated lifestyle choice.
Every spring, as the Easter Bunny gears up for the big day, CacklePatch is right there—offering his unique brand of assistance. Sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always with a lot of heart. And sparkles. So many sparkles.
So, if you’re looking to add a little extra magic (and maybe a dash of mischief) to your Easter celebration, why not invite CacklePatch into the tradition?
Here are a few ideas to hop-start your own tradition:
1. Scramble Up the Egg Contents
While the Easter Bunny tends to favor jelly beans, CacklePatch prefers to keep things wildly unpredictable. Fill some eggs with silly surprises:
googly eyes
silly stickershandwritten fortunes (“You will soon find a potato in your shoe”)
coupons for pranks (“Good for one glitter trap”)a very short poem
Throw in a few cavity-inducing treats, too. It’s all about chaos and candy. The best of both worlds.
2. Tell Tall Tales of Easter Adventure
According to CacklePatch (and zero additional verified sources), last year the Easter Bunny got stuck in a tree while trying to hang a basket from a low-flying squirrel. Naturally, CacklePatch stepped in to save the day–with a tiara, a cape, and and a hand-drawn map labeled “Definattely Not Lost.”
Make up your own stories the night before Easter starring CacklePatch and his heroic-ish efforts to offer assistance to his bunny friend. Did he attempt to expedite egg delivery by way of catapult? Were garden gnomes involved? Let your imagination run wild. Draw your version of the story—or act it out using bunny ears, spoons, and whatever questionable props you can find. The more breakable, the better!
3. Leave Out a Snack
The Easter Bunny gets a carrot, naturally. CacklePatch? He’ll take a marshmallow sandwich, a pile of cinnamon sugar, or a handful of rainbow sprinkles. (Whatever’s weird and wonderful.) You can also embrace sneaky generosity by leaving a snacky surprise for a friend.
A Little More Mischief Means Magic Multiplied
Easter’s already magical—but with a little CacklePatch thrown in, it becomes something more: a celebration of wonder, weirdness, and joyful surprises. And maybe a tiny bit of glitter in unexpected places.
Hop to it. CacklePatch is already three pranks ahead of you.
