Cook An Authentic Meal
Irish food is simply delightful, and while you don’t need an excuse to indulge in it, St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect opportunity to get cooking. You can find a traditional recipe like a stew or colcannon, or you can make your own twist on your favorite treats by adding green food coloring to them. Celebrate this exciting holiday by crafting something delicious and authentic in your home.
Wear Green
If you don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s typical punishment to get pinched, and while we don’t condone this nor encourage it, we think that wearing green is a great idea nonetheless. Break out those green skinny-jeans or even an old bow tie and get into the spirit of things. Even if no one sees you dressed up, the bright colors will surely add some positive vibes to your day.
Watch an Irish Movie or Play
There are many exciting movies or plays you can watch from the comfort of your home this St. Patrick’s Day! From the Disney Original Film, The Luck of the Irish to the quirky rom-com Leap Year, you can get in the spirit of the holiday by watching the big screen. We also recommend looking for local theaters that might be producing virtual shows to celebrate as well.
