While I'm still in full summer mode and not quite ready to think about Halloween decor ideas, I've started to notice a new trend taking hold: 'summerween'. It seems that combining the joys of summer with a touch of pre-Halloween cheer provides plenty of hosting potential – and I've decided to embrace it by trying out the trend for making a watermelon jack o'lantern before the pumpkins hit the farm stands.
After some experimentation, it turns out that watermelons really are top-notch pumpkin equivalents: you can carve them just like a regular jack o'lantern. And the flesh doesn't have to go to waste either, as you can whizz it up in one of the best blenders to make Martha Stewart's watermelon punch for a spooky summery celebration.
