Halloween is just around the corner, and parents are already thinking about what costumes to dress their kids in for the spooky night. A new online quiz has been created to help parents decide on the perfect Halloween costume for their little ones. The quiz asks questions about kids’ preferences and how daring they’re willing to be, before providing options for the best Halloween look.
Research shows that adults are willing to spend more money on Halloween costumes this year compared to previous years. One in four Brits claim that Halloween is their favorite ‘holiday’ and are prepared to spend nearly £100 on costumes and decorations this October. A poll of 2,000 adults revealed that 24% of people plan their Halloween activities at least a month in advance, with half agreeing that products should be available in stores well ahead of time.
Many adults are getting into the Halloween spirit, with 25% planning to carve pumpkins, 20% decorating their homes, and 20% dressing up in full costumes for the occasion. Some people even get competitive with their decorations, focusing on the living room, front porch, and hallway for a spooky makeover.
Vicky Woods from Disney Store, which commissioned the research, mentioned that Halloween has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years. The excitement for Halloween starts early, with searches for themed products beginning as early as mid-July. Social media and influences from other countries have contributed to the growing enthusiasm for Halloween celebrations.
While 16% of people prefer non-frightening costume options, 31% are looking to scare others with their Halloween look. Social media has had a significant impact on costume and decoration choices, with 31% of people acknowledging its influence. Many adults believe that Halloween can be just as fun for them as it is for children, with 18% looking forward to trick-or-treaters knocking on their doors.
For families getting ready for Halloween, planning ahead is key to ensuring the best costumes and decorations are secured before they sell out. The Disney Store has launched a fantastic selection of themed products for Halloween, allowing families to create a memorable and unforgettable Halloween experience.
It’s clear that Halloween is becoming a favorite holiday for many Brits, and families are eager to embrace the fun and creativity that comes with it. With the right costumes and decorations, Halloween can be a magical and exciting time for both kids and adults alike.
