Easter 2026 – Our Easter Bucket List, Ideas & Things to Do.
Easter 2026 has arrived! This is one of those holidays that invites you to slow down, gather with the people you love, and revel in the joy of spring. In 2026, Easter falls on Sunday, April 5, which makes now the perfect time to plan brunch, pick out spring outfits, gather Easter basket goodies, and refresh your home for the season. And with so many shops and restaurants at Town & Country Village, it is easy to pull everything together in one place. Let’s hop to it!
When Is Easter 2026?
You have probably noticed that Easter is a fun little holiday with a fluctuating date. For 2026, Easter will fall on Sunday, April 5. But why does that date change from year to year?
Easter always falls within a specific period of the calendar. The date will fall between March 22nd and April 25th. The date can change and has a wide window of possible Sundays to fall on because Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. If you are rusty on your astronomy, that is the name given to the first full moon that takes place after the vernal equinox, and the vernal equinox is just a fancy way of saying the first day of spring. So, the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring.
Celebrate Easter 2026 In Style
If you want to make Easter 2026 feel a little more special, a little planning goes a long way. Whether that means refreshing your table, sending thoughtful cards, picking out a new outfit, or putting together the perfect basket, Town & Country Village has plenty of current options to help you celebrate the season in style. From Williams Sonoma and Trudy’s Hallmark to Walgreens, Pottery Barn, Learning Express Toys, Randalls, Talbots, Chico’s, and more, the center is full of easy Easter inspiration.
Create A Show-Stopping Carrot Cake
Easter 2026 won’t be complete without the Easter Bunny’s favorite treat: carrot cake. Even if you are not much of a baker, this super-easy recipe for Three Layer Carrot with Crème Cheese Frosting from Williams Sonoma will have everyone raving. It’s got all the good stuff: carrots, walnuts, and flaked coconut. Get the kids to help with the frosting!
A classic carrot cake deserves a place on any Easter table. If you are baking this year, Williams Sonoma has the perfect bakeware to make it even more festive. A piece like the Peter Rabbit Ceramic Loaf Pan, or one of their spring-ready cake stands and dessert serveware, can instantly elevate your presentation. Serve up dessert on the Garden Flowers Dinnerware Collection, the sweetest spring-themed design to adorn your Easter table. Even if you’re not baking from scratch, Williams Sonoma is still a lovely place to find table pieces that make store-bought treats feel Easter-ready, like their Williams Sonoma Easter Iced Cookies or Robin’s Egg Caramels.
We also love the Glass Domed Cake Plate/Punch Bowl from Williams Sonoma if you need a cake stand. The lidded glass pedestal provides a beautiful perch for cakes, pies, and pastries and keeps them fresh for days. Invert the lid, and this versatile piece becomes a six 1/2-qt punch bowl. A leading American glassmaker makes the elegant shape.
Share The Easter Joy With Loved Ones
Easter 2026 is a wonderful time to let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them by sending a note to friends and family near or far. Even though they are far away, they will appreciate your caring when you send an Easter card or gift. Trudy’s Hallmark is the easiest place to pick up a sweet seasonal card or small gift while you shop at TCV. Pack a thoughtful care package with one of their beautiful greeting cards, a Pink Easter Bunny Basket Glass Candy Dish, then stop by Walgreens for their favorite Easter candy. You can’t go wrong with a Lindt Milk Chocolate Gold Bunny or classic Cadbury Creme Eggs.
Create The Perfect Easter 2026 Décor
Start by welcoming Easter guests to your home with a beautiful springtime wreath from The Accessory Place.
If you are hosting Easter at home, Pottery Barn is a beautiful place to start. Stocked with seasonal pieces that can help you decorate every corner of your home. Start outside your home with the Springtime Blossoms Wreath and a few Lit Frosted Bunny pieces by your front door. Heading into your living room, Pottery Barn has the perfect whimsical throw pillows, Easter-themed candy dishes, and precious décor to help you create a beautiful spring haven for your Easter guests. Check out the Botanical Bunny Reversible Lumbar Pillow to give your couch a colorful springtime touch.
Easter Eggs
No Easter celebration is complete without eggs, candy, and a few fun family traditions. For Easter essentials, Randalls is a convenient stop at Town & Country Village for eggs to decorate, baking ingredients, brunch items, and everything else you may need. Their seasonal Easter aisle makes it easy to pick up favorites for baskets, egg hunts, or dessert tables. Pair your favorite deviled eggs recipe with a porcelain platter from Williams Sonoma to upgrade your Easter spread.
With so many hard-boiled eggs, make Deviled Eggs for your Easter crowd. Deviled Eggs with Crispy Prosciutto are always a hit. They’re easy to make, and the crispy prosciutto elevates the dish from the everyday. Get the recipe at Williams Sonoma.
Make Easter 2026 Special For The Kiddos
Easter is especially fun when entertaining children. You’ll find everything you need to create unique Easter baskets at The Learning Express. Games, toys, candy, art supplies, character-themed items, you name it, you’ll find it here. Their annual Bunny Buffet Easter Basket Promotion is a great option for busy parents who still want something fun and personalized. This season, Learning Express is offering free totes and personalized buckets with a $50 purchase, filled with toys, games, squishies, and all kinds of fun goodies. Even better, they will put the totes and buckets together for you, which makes Easter prep so much easier.
Add excitement to the kids’ table at your Easter gathering by including adorable Easter favors and gifts with each place setting. This is an easy way to make Easter feel exciting while giving kids things they can actually play with long after the egg hunt is over.
Easter Brunch
Easter brunch is one of the best parts of the holiday, whether you are dining out or hosting at home. Town & Country Village has several options for Easter weekend, whether your ideal brunch is more upscale, family-friendly, or relaxed and casual.
Eating Out For Easter
If you’re planning to dine out this Easter, make your way to The Henry, now open in Town & Country Village. Known for its warm neighborhood atmosphere and global culinary inspirations, The Henry offers a renowned Brunch Menu that’s sure to delight every palate. From creative brunch cocktails and aromatic coffee drinks to freshly baked pastries and vibrant entrée salads, there’s something for everyone. Indulge in traditional favorites like Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros Enchiladas, or explore savory options such as Korean Prime Skirt Steak and Scottish Salmon. For those seeking a hearty, wholesome dish, the Harvest Bowl—packed with ancient grains, portobello mushrooms, caramelized cauliflower, and a variety of fresh veggies—is a must-try.
Experience breakfast and brunch at their finest, but remember to make reservations, as The Henry is a popular spot for Easter dining. For the little ones, the Kids Menu offers a range of delicious options, including Cinnamon French Toast, Little Hank’s Cheeseburger, Mac & Cheese, and French Fries, all for $10 with a choice of side. Enjoy a fun-filled Easter meal that caters to both adults and children alike.
Bring It Home
If you are celebrating Easter at home this year, Town & Country Village makes it easy to put together a meal that feels special without having to do everything from scratch. Omaha Steaks is a great option for a more traditional Easter meal, like the Easter Lamb Feast. The bundle comes with a New Zealand Boneless Leg of Lamb, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Individual Baguettes, Bourbon Bread Pudding, and, for dessert, Triple Berry Tartlets. Their Town & Country Village store also offers convenient in-store pickup, which makes holiday prep even easier.
For brunch, pastries, or a lighter French-inspired spread, La Madeleine is another easy choice. Complete your at-home feast with seasonal treats like their strawberry- or pistachio-dipped croissants, mini lemon tarts, chocolate eclairs, madeleine cookies, or traditional French macarons.
And for a shareable catering option, Postino’s is a great fit for casual Easter entertaining. Their catering menu includes crowd-pleasers like crudite platters, assorted paninis, and a variety of salads and sides, which makes it easy to build a laid-back spread for family or friends at home.
Make It From Scratch
If you are up for cooking a grand Easter brunch, lunch, or dinner from scratch, go for Ina Garten’s Easter Menu featured on Williams Sonoma. Celebrate spring like the Barefoot Contessa with a flavorful menu featuring a showstopping ham, vibrant sides, and a luscious Carrot Cake. The Spinach in Puff Pastry, Parmesan-Chive Smashed Potatoes, and Ina’s Orange Marmalade-Glazed Ham are heavenly.
Craft An Easter Bunny Snack Board
For easy snacking throughout the day, try this healthy and festive Easter Brunch appetizer board. Get the kids in on the fun of arranging crackers in two ovals above a bowl of hummus, then layer asparagus, olives, and a cherry tomato for the bunny’s face. After snapping a photo of your masterpiece with the kiddos, dip and crunch away. Get the tutorial at The BakerMama.
