Trick-or-treating is a beloved Halloween ritual, where children dress up and go door-to-door collecting candy from neighbours. The custom, which has roots in both European “souling” and “guising” traditions, allows kids to enjoy an adventure of light-hearted mischief and sweet rewards. Neighbourhoods across many countries light up with carved pumpkins, or "jack-o’-lanterns," to welcome trick-or-treaters, adding to the eerie and festive atmosphere.
