2020 is FINALLY coming to an end. It’s been a hellish year for all of us, which is why things on the site have been a little quiet these last few weeks as I’ve taken a bit of time to reflect and plan ahead for 2021. Despite all the negativity around 2020, the year was actually full of milestones for All Hallows Geek. This year I published more content than ever across the website and social media, broke 10,000 followers on Instagram, and held the most giveaways to date with a number of amazing new partners. So, with it being such a good year for the site, as in years past, I felt it only made sense to look back and share your favorite content of the year. Here were your 10 favorite All Hallows Geek posts of 2020.
