Nativity Pumpkin Carving

This lovely Nativity Pumpkin Carving was made by Pop Culture Pumpkins. It features Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. I’ve never seen a Christmas pumpkin carving before. This one is so lovely, I couldn’t wait to share it.

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor,Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

2022’s Most Popular Pumpkins Carvings

Every October, I share a bunch of amazing pumpkins carvings. Since Halloween was last night, I thought it would be fun to wrap up Halloween season by presenting my most popular pumpkin carvings posts of 2022. If you click on the link at the top of each item in the countdown, you’ll be taken to the original post which will have even more pictures of these gorgeous pumpkins.

We begin our countdown at number 10 with this collection of Seven Terrific Batman Pumpkin Carvings.

Bat-signal

Each of these cool Batman Pumpkin Carvings were made by StoneyKins. Since the Bat-Signal is a light shining in the sky, a Bat-Signal Jack-o’-lantern is a brilliant idea.

Catwoman

Catwoman is one of my favorite Batman characters.

The Joker

What’s could be more perfect on Halloween then a scary clown?

At number 9 we have this Amazing Baby Yoda Pumpkin Carving.

Baby Yoda

This amazing pumpkin carving was created by Marc Evan from Maniac Pumpkins Carvers. My favorite part of this pumpkin is all the tiny hairs standing up on the top of his ear and head. That level of detail is stunning. I’m terrible at carving pumpkins, so I’m always amazed at the exquisite detail that pumpkin artists are able to create.

Instead of a rock this Halloween, number 8 gives you these wonderful Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin Carvings.

Linus Waiting For The Great Pumpkin

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is my favorite Halloween special, so I was glad these made the countdown. They were carved by StoneyKins.

In the pumpkin above, Linus is eagerly awaiting a visit from The Great Pumpkin.

Charlie Brown and Snoopy

Snoopy and the Red Baron Pumpkin Carving

Snoopy, The World War I Flying Ace

Snoopy as everyone’s favorite World War I Flying Ace. Notice the holes in Snoopy’s dog house. Me thinks we’re about to hear that famous battle cry – “Curse You Red Barron!”.

Watch out for number 7 because This Wonderful Jack Skellington Pumpkin Carving Will Reach Out And Grab You.

Jack Skellington Pumpkin Carving

This wonderful Jack Skellington Pumpkin Carving was created by Edwards Art + Design. It features Jack reaching out menacingly at you. I always like pumpkins that look like they’re interacting with the person looking at them.

Jack is back for Number 6 – Four Groovy Nightmare Before Christmas Pumpkin Carvings.

Jack Skellington Decorating For Halloween

My favorite carving of this set features Jack decorating for Halloween. This wonderful pumpkin was carved by Pumpkin Wayne.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a pumpkin can. Number 5 is these Awesome Spider-Man, Green Goblin, and Venom Pumpkin Carvings.

Spider-Man

These three Pumpkin Carvings were made by Alex Wer, The Pumpkin Geek. I really like the use of shadow and light on Spider-Man’s costume.

The Green Goblin

The Green Goblin is the perfect villain for Halloween. The detail on this carve is amazing. The only thing missing is one of the Green Goblin’s pumpkin bombs.

Venom

Number 4 brings us another monster. But he is way too adorable to be scary – Cute Stitch Pumpkin Carving.

Stitch

This cute Stitch Pumpkin Carving was made by Carved In Kin. This great pumpkin features Stitch sitting down and looking at you. One thing I really like about this pumpkin is that the light comes from pupils in Stitch’s eyes, so it really looks like he is looking at you.

Eek there is a mouse on my pumpkin! Number 3 are these Superb Pumpkin Carvings With Mickey, Minnie, and Walt.

Partners – Walt Disney and Mickey

This pumpkin recreates the famous Partners statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. It and the pumpkins that follow were made by StoneyKins.

Sorcerer Mickey

I really like the Mickey head shaped silhouette surrounding Sorcerer Mickey.

Mickey & Minnie

My favorite Disney couple.

The Nightmare Never Ends! Jack is back again and this time he brought his dog with him. Coming in second place is this Wonderful Jack Skellington and Zero Pumpkin Carving

Nightmare Before Christmas Pumpkin Carving

This wonderful Nightmare Before Christmas Pumpkin Carving was made by Robert Kriess from Carved In Kin. Jack Skellington is standing with his arms crossed. Zero’s head is over Jack’s shoulder and his ghostly body wraps around to the other side. This is such a cute pumpkin.

Before we wrap up this countdown, I have an important question. How do you keep Jack-o’-lanterns lit under the sea? The reason I’m asking is because coming in at number 1 are these Lovely Little Mermaid Pumpkin Carvings.

The Little Mermaid

Stephie from DeviantArt created this terrific silhouette of Ariel sitting on a rock with sun setting behind her. You can see the sun reflected in the sea.

I hope you enjoyed the countdown! I plan to make it an annual event. But, you don’t need to wait a year to visit Between the Pages. I feature new content every day of the year.

Hedwig Pumpkin

Pumpkin carving of Hedwig flying through the air while carrying Harry's letter from Hogwarts

Hedwig Pumpkin

This magical Hedwig Pumpkin was carved by WunderKins Pumpkins. It features Hedwig flying through a starry sky carrying Harry’s letter from Hogwarts. The detail on Hedwig is astonishing. You can see each and every feather that covers the edge of her wings. You can also see the feathers that cover her body, The texture on Hedwig is wonderful. Her wings, body and face each have a different type of feather and those three types of feathers each have a completely different texture. I can’t image the number of little carves that had to be made to make all these these detail and textures.

Looking for more magical Harry Potter themed pumpkins?

Five separate pumpkin carvings were used to make this amazing Harry Potter vs. Lord Voldemort battle.

I can’t decide which I like more this great Dobby Pumpkin or the elaborate setting of books, scrolls and a stuffed animal of Hedwig used as props in the photograph.

This stunning pumpkin features the boats floating toward Hogwarts which towers overhead on a mountain.

Princess Leia Pumpkin

Pumpkin carving of Princess Leia wearing her white hooded outfit from A New Hope

Princess Leia Pumpkin

This wonderful Princess Leia Pumpkin was carved by Pumpkin Muse. It features Princess Leia in her hooded white outfit from the beginning of A New Hope.

Christy did a wonderful job with the carving and it bring back memories:

I worked in a department store in high school and college. A month or two before The Empire Strikes Back came out, our store was overflowing with Empire Strikes Back toys and merchandise. I knew what ever major character looked like before I saw the movie in the theater.

A New Hope was different. No one knew how successful it was going to be, so there wasn’t any toys or merchandise until after the movie became a hit. So, when I saw A New Hope in theater, I’d never heard of or seen images of Leia, Han, Chewie, Luke, Darth Vader or the droids. There have been a lot of edits to A New Hope over the years, but if I remember correctly – in the original version, the first time you see Leia, she is wearing this white outfit. She is hooded and stooped over giving R2-D2 the message for Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is a great introduction because she isn’t introduced beforehand. You have no idea who she is. She is even hooded so you barely see her face. Because she is a mystery, you want to learn more about her.

“Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”

If you can’t tell it from this post, I love Star Wars and have featured many great Star Wars pumpkins in the past.

This awesome pumpkin pits Star Trek’s Enterprise against Star Wars’ Millennium Falcon.

This cool pumpkin features a side view of Boba Fett with his blaster drawn.

This amazing Baby Yoda carving is 3-D. The pumpkin shell is the pram and Baby Yoda is inside it.
