If you’re wondering whether we’ll ever stop celebrating Halloween and return to honoring our beloved mommas, we have just one more week of spooky fun, as this episode airs on October 31st! While it may seem like we've gone overboard on Halloween this year, it’s all in the spirit of Whitney’s favorite holiday, filled with delicious food, exciting parties, shocking costumes, and countless family Halloween stories.

In this final Halloween celebration episode, we dive into more than just chili and cornbread. We also recount the Diwali celebration that Whitney, Lance, and Momma Ashley attended last weekend—a delightful break from Whitney’s month-long Halloween festivities, where she still got to dress up, enjoy incredible Indian cuisine, and learn about this beautiful festival of lights with our dear friends Priya and Momma Amma from this season’s Episode 3.

Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Courtney is gearing up for her massive Halloween party, with RSVPs now exceeding 80 guests. As she reviews the evening’s catered menu, Courtney considers only contributing one homemade item...cornbread. But Whitney reminds her of last year’s party when dozens of her freshly baked corn muffins went untouched by the “Ozempic Chic” crowd. One thing we know will be a hit is the Skin & Bones Margarita!

The sisters also revisit some of their favorite Halloween stories from past episodes, pondering whether the combination of peanut butter on white bread and taco soup is a flavor profile they’ve been missing. Join us as we indulge in our Halloween obsession for one last week before returning to interviews, new recipes, and, of course, praising all the mommas! Happy Halloween!!!

It’s been a minute since the sisters and Momma Ashley have sat down for happy hour to chat food, drinks and entertaining. But there’s no time like the present season to discuss the sisters annual respective Halloween extravaganzas and Momma Ashley’s part in all of it!

Whitney kicks things off with her mullet-wearing, Texas tuxedo prom-inspired costume that had everyone talking. Courtney, always the hostess with the mostess, shares how she's catering a 195-person kid's Halloween bash this year, from turkey chili to brisket tacos—because sometimes, even the queens of homemade need a little help! Momma Ashley offers a trip down memory lane, recounting the Ashley family's Halloween parties of yesteryear, complete with flasher costumes and haunted house mazes made from refrigerator boxes.

But the episode doesn’t stop at party planning and costumes—it's all about the food too! The ladies swap recipes for the ultimate Halloween snacks, including Whitney's Italian beef sandwiches, a kale and lentil salad that’s surprisingly simple, and of course, Momma Ashley's famous brownies. If you're into a little sweet heat, don't miss the jalapeño brownies that have Whitney’s friends sneaking stashing them from their family in secret hiding places. Plus, with talk of new seasonal twists like pumpkin spice and peppermint cream cheese fillings, this episode is full of mouth-watering ideas for your holiday table.

As always, the Ashley's bring the banter, the memories, and the unfiltered fun. From impromptu balloon arch conspiracies to a mom on the hunt for a missing bracelet in the dead of night, it’s never a dull moment with these sisters. So grab your Dirty Sis martini, get cozy, and tune in as the trio shares their Halloween hijinks, hilarious costumes, and all the reasons why people come from near and far for an Ashley party!
