Neil Patrick Harris, 52, and his partner David Burtka have once again apprised their fans of their Halloween celebrations.
The two, along with their twin son, Gideon Scott, and daughter, Harper Grace, 15 even created a poster of their getup and published it on Instagram.
The sighting comes in the wake of their 2024 celebration in which the entire family adhered to a muso theme, and the year before that, the gods of Mount Olympus.

But most recently, the How I Met Your Mother alum and his family adhered to an Indiana Jones theme.
While no pics of the four dressed up as the movie characters have been posted, Harris has plastered a fake poster with the likeness of the film series on his Instagram.
“Happy Halloween from the Burtka-Harris Production Company. Copyright 2025, all frights reserved,” the actor captioned it.
The picture was welcomed by netizens, some of whom admitted to looking out for the family’s annual updates.

“I hope the kids never grow out of dressing up for Halloween. I look forward to the Halloween picture every year,” wrote one fan.
For others, it was not enough, and one person asked: “Is there a behind-the-scenes like you usually post?”
“So hoping you dressed up and this isn’t AI because your costumes are always the best!” remarked another.
There is at least some substance to this claim: In 2022, the family of four went the whole nine yards when they dressed up as fast food mascots.

In the photo, Harper Grace took on the appearance of the girl in the Wendy’s logo.
On the couch next to her, Burtka pretended to doze off with a handful of fries and a soft drink.
On the other side of the settee, the clown Ronald Macdonald (Harris) appeared to have had too much to eat and had his jumpsuit open with his hand on his stomach.
To his right sat Gideon cross-legged, bespectacled and gray-haired, with an uncanny resemblance to Colonel Saunders as he tucked into some KFC.

The response was just as obsessive, and one person wrote:
“Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to bring smiles and giggles from your yearly Halloween family costumes.”
Testifying to the level of cult in the family’s cult following was a message that read:
“I saw you at a Sherman Oaks gas station convenience store, Ventura Blvd x Woodman Ave, March 1994!!!!! around 11pm!! You were walking out!! So surreal!! Hope u r well!! Best wishes!!” —apparently, 19 years later.
In 2024, they channelled Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Madonna, and Elton John

Then, in 2024, Harris and company resorted to photo editing to amuse their fans.
The resulting image depicts Burtka dressed up as Elvis Presley, Gideon took on the likeness of a Mardi Gras-like performer, Harper Grace was dressed according to a steampunk theme, while Harris donned a carrot colored wig as he supposedly read his lines from a piece of paper.
According to one user, Harris was imitating Elton John; Gideon, David Bowie, and Harper, Madonna.
The entire performance was framed by a wooden pane, a sign that said mixing table, and a sign that said recording studio in use.

The photo dump drew comments like “Omg these are THE best costumes I saw this year!!!”—as they do every year.
“Your family always looks amazing for Halloween, you never disappoint,” echoed another.
But these successful efforts tie into a standout accolade enjoyed by Burtka and Harris.
Speaking to People in 2024, Burtka gushed: “We’re definitely told we’re the coolest parents out of all the friend groups”.
Since they learned their children’s friends’ opinions, the two men have taken the compliment to heart, and as Burtke says, it has become a competitive sport.
Netizens go to Harris’s Instagram every year just for the Halloween posts
