Well, this might just be the sweetest family costume of 2025! Bachelor alums Arie and Lauren Luyendyk just unveiled their Willy Wonka–inspired Halloween looks, and fans are losing it over the creativity, the coordination, and, of course, the cuteness overload.
The couple shared a joint Instagram carousel showing off their full Charlie and the Chocolate Factory family transformation, and the attention to detail is next-level. Lauren captioned the post with a nod to the movie’s iconic closing line:
“Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted… he lived happily ever after.”
And honestly? That feels pretty on-brand for the Luyendyks these days — a happily chaotic crew of six living their best golden-ticket life.
Meet the Luyendyks’ Cast of Candy-Coated Characters
In the first photo of the carousel, the whole family is front and center, and everyone’s role is perfectly cast. Arie stepped into the top hat as Willy Wonka, complete with the eccentric candy-maker’s signature purple coat. Six-year-old Alessi took on the role of Charlie Bucket, the earnest hero of the story (and yes, fans were obsessed).
Then there were the twins, Senna and Lux, both 4, in matching Oompa Loompa outfits — orange faces, green wigs, and all. But the real show-stealer? Newborn Livvy, wrapped up adorably as the golden ticket itself.
Lauren tied it all together by dressing as — you guessed it — a chocolate bar. Which makes perfect sense: Baby Livvy was literally wrapped up in Lauren before her birth last month. The concept? Chef’s kiss.

Fans Are Calling It the 'Best Family Costume' of the Year
The comment section quickly turned into a full-on lovefest, with Bachelor Nation and fans alike gushing over the Luyendyks’ candy-coated creativity. Many couldn’t get enough of six-year-old Alessi’s take on Charlie, with one fan admitting that “Alessi as Charlie is cracking me up — how amazing! And the twins! I mean, you guys ate it!” Others were equally obsessed with the Oompa-Loompa duo, calling Senna and Lux “such good champs for this” and declaring the look “the best family costume collaboration of 2025.”
Newborn Livvy also got her fair share of attention, with multiple followers calling her “the perfect golden ticket” and praising the sweet symbolism behind Lauren’s costume. One commenter summed it up perfectly, writing that “Lauren as the chocolate bar is so good,” while another simply gushed, “Oh my gosh, you guys nailed this!”
quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, solidifying the Luyendyks’ status as one of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved families, and unofficially crowning them Halloween champions yet again. Between last year’s coordinating Addams Family looks and this year’s whimsical Willy Wonka theme, Arie and Lauren have proven they’re in a league of their own when it comes to creative family fun.
And honestly? We’d still bet our last Wonka Bar that no one else is topping this one.
