2020’s hottest Halloween costumes

Just like everything else, Halloween will be a little different this year.

A new Party City survey finds that 96% of parents still plan to celebrate Halloween…but 70% of them are also looking for safer trick-or-treating options.

You’ll see more decorations, including more “Halloween trees“…more neighborhood parades and bags of candy on doorsteps so it’s contact-free.

What are this year’s most popular costumes?

  • Horror movie characters
  • Video game characters from “Fortnite”“Halo” and “Super Mario”
  • Everyday heroes like doctors, nurses and police officers
  • “Frozen” characters
  • “Tiger King” costumes (of course!)
  • “Wonder Woman”
  • Harley Quinn and other characters from “Birds of Prey”
  • Skeletons
  • Zombies
  • Vampires
  • “Day of the Dead” outfits
  • Politicians (insert your own joke here!)

How will you be celebrating this year?
