September 26, 2016 - Halloween is about the two Cs -- costumes and candies. At Walmart, it's no different. We have stocked our digital and physical aisles with the year’s hottest costumes and exclusive candies to make sure your house is the hit of the neighborhood.
Here's a look at the latest costume trends:
Superheroes remain strong. This Halloween is the year of the superhero, and we expect superhero-themed costumes, available for $15, to be among our best sellers, including:
- Ironman
- Batman
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
- Captain America
Some things just never get old. Some licensed costumes are classics and remain among our top sellers each year. These include:
- Scooby Doo
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Minnie Mouse
- Monster High
- Ariel from The Little Mermaid
It's all about animals for the little ones. We’ve expanded our baby costume selection this season with more options available for less than $18. The five costumes we expect to be the most popular for the youngest trick-or-treaters are:
- Lamb
- Elephant
- Little Monster
- Bear
- Lion
Don't forget the candy. One of every three pieces of candy handed out to trick-or-treaters in America this year will be sold at Walmart. Of course you'll be able to find your favorites at Walmart, but we've stocked our shelves with exclusives that can add a little variety to your trick-or-treating stash including:
- Pecan Pie M&M’s
- Dove Leaves
- Reese’s Printed Cups
- Kit Kat White Chocolate Minis
And for those who expect hundreds of kids at their doors, Walmart has made it easy. Brach’s 500-Piece Kiddie Bag Candy Mix is a great value at less than $20 and includes popular treats like Lemonhead, Now and Later, Warheads and Bubble Gum.
